Spring 2022: Orange Park Medical Center
As our academic year comes to a close, we’re excited to see our first class of residents transition to being attendings. Our current PGY-3 class has lined up solid jobs in seven states (Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas), including fellowships, core faculty positions, Level 1 trauma centers, and rural critical access sites. We’re also absolutely thrilled to welcome our full cohort of 12 incoming residents.
Some other major updates include numerous upgrades to our ultrasound and simulation programs, including a multi-million dollar renovation of our new simulation/teaching center, two new Sonosite PX machines, an ultrasound trainer, and our now fully functioning ED Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) program. Drs. Carr and Hoffman are leading the way, utilizing TEE for ED cardiac arrests and resuscitations.
From a research perspective, we’ve enrolled in multiple additional research studies in the past few months and are looking forward to seeing what publications come from our new projects and ideas. Many of our residents and faculty recently traveled to the 2022 International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare in Los Angeles, the 2022 Wilderness Medicine National Conference in Big Sky, and CORD in San Diego to learn tips and tricks that continue improving our residency.
Last but not least, we are also eagerly looking forward to our annual mass casualty training event as well as our inaugural resident olympics as major events to close the year out strong. ■
