Spring has sprung with full force here at Orlando Regional Medical Center!

After a fun interview season, we are beyond excited to welcome our incoming class of 2025. They have all done amazing things in medical school and life, and we cannot wait to welcome them in person to La Familia. We are also happy for our own Dr. Nathan Nuzman, who welcomed a baby boy this month. We are excited to welcome this tiny human into La Familia as well.

Dr. Brad Hamlin has been working on a new medical device for increasing efficacy and efficiency in irrigation of wounds in the ER. After many rounds of development and testing, he will be presenting his findings at SAEM in May.

Additionally, Dr. Lindsay Wencel will be presenting her research in the field of EMS at the Special Operations Medicine Association’s scientific assembly in May. Dr. Wencel has been very involved with EMS after finding her passion for the subspecialty during the rotation at ORMC. We are lucky enough to have this rotation opportunity and have our faculty as medical directors. Our ER is also becoming a medical control base station, allowing residents (with the help of our attendings) the opportunity to answer radio calls from our EMS first responders. This is an exciting learning opportunity and great training for future responsibilities after graduation!

Lastly, a big congratulations to our new chiefs: Drs. Megan Marcom, Parnia Salehi, and Hunter Clonts. ■
