Spring 2022: Jackson Memorial
Greetings from Miami! After another successful interview season, we are thrilled to welcome our stellar new intern class of 2025 to our Jackson family. Our new class will join us from all over the country, and we congratulate them on their success and medical school graduation. We can’t wait to meet you and have you join us in Miami!
The PGY-2 class recently attended AAEM in Baltimore and thoroughly enjoyed the live conference experience and time with their colleagues. Our residents continue their commitment and involvement to social EM, expanding our reach to our local community. Drs. Joshua Goldstein and Naomi Newton continue to tackle South Florida’s opioid epidemic and presented their social EM “Naloxone out of the ED and Into the Community” initiative at the Community Health Leadership Conference at University of Miami. You can read about their work in this edition of EMpulse on page 38. Accolades are also in order for Dr. Juhi Varshney on her Case Presentation Competition (CPC) at the CORD conference in San Diego. We would like to commend them for their tireless dedication, hard work and success.
We are excited to welcome back prior graduates of Jackson and congratulate them on the completion of their fellowships. Our graduating class is bound for greatness, accepting positions all over the country. Several PGY-3s have accepted fellowships in SIM and critical care, and we are excited that several graduates have taken positions within the Jackson system. We are very much looking forward to a live graduation celebration as our seniors take their next steps in their careers. We are so proud of our class of 2022 and wish them luck on their future endeavors! ■
