Spring 2022: UF Jacksonville
Just like the spring season, it is a time of transition here at UF Jax. We look forward to meeting our newest class of interns but are also saddened that our seniors will be leaving us. As our PGY-3s approach their final months of residency, we want to acknowledge all of their hard work and success. They have been such an asset to our program and will continue to thrive in the field of emergency medicine. We are also excited to welcome our new intern class to Jax EM: 16 new physicians from 13 different medical schools.
The spring proved to be a busy and exciting time here at Jax. This season has provided several opportunities for our residents to give back to the community while learning about event medicine. Residents had the opportunity to work first aid at the Gate River Run and again at the Player’s Championship at Sawgrass.
Finally, we want to celebrate the achievements of some of our residents. Congratulations to our new chief residents: Drs. Chris Phillips, Moji Hassan and Sam Baxley. Dr. Kasi Hartman was awarded the Outstanding Resident Educator of the Year by the UF Department of Emergency Medicine. We also want to congratulate Drs. Alexa Peterson and Jeanne Rabalais for their leadership positions on EMRA Committees.
We look forward to an exciting summer here at UF Jax and can’t wait to welcome the newest members to our family in July! ■
