Spring 2022: UF Gainesville
Greetings from UF Gainesville!
We closed another virtual interview season and are thrilled to announce that we successfully matched 14 new PGY-1s! From Wisconsin to Virginia to our own backyard here at UF, we are excited to welcome another exceptional class.
With the in-training exam in our rear-view mirror, we’re full speed ahead as we close out the academic year. We’d like to give a special shout out to our PGY-1s who navigated through intern year with inquisitive minds and incredible resiliency. This spring, interns will be challenged with signing the never-ending wave of EKGs as they prepare for their PGY-2 senior roles. PGY-2s are eager to start leading the department and guide interns into their new roles as physicians. Lastly, the PGY-3s are busy navigating contracts and preparing for life after residency.
Drs. Benjamin Arnold, Megan Rivera and Ziad Saqr were elected as chief residents for the upcoming academic year. We’d like to thank Drs. Manuel Borobia, Graham Clifford and Pooja Mysore for all the work they put into our program and wish them continued success as they transition into fellowship here at UF.
The weather has been perfect for residents to enjoy various outdoor activities. Our PDs and residents recently volunteered at Habitat for Humanity, and residents have been spending extra time at the new UF baseball stadium. There is never a dull moment here at the Swamp, and we look forward to what the rest of the summer will bring! ■
