Summer 2020: USF Health
Greeting from Tampa and the USF Emergency Medicine Residency! The last few months have been quite busy and exciting for our residency program. Our new interns have started their orientation month and are awesome. We are excited to see how much they will grow as emergency medicine physicians over the next few years!
We congratulate our graduates and are happy to have two of them working alongside our residents: Dr. Alicia Nassar is now our EMS fellow and Dr. Megan Tyler for staying at Tampa General Hospital as an attending. For all the 2020 graduates, represent us well in Florida and beyond; we are proud of you and miss you already!
Despite having to adjust our education in the setting of COVID-19, our seniors and residents have been exceptional at running grand rounds online from home. Many awesome presentations and great learning has happened in the last several months. We are glad to be making steps into integrating safe group and simulations this summer.
We are proud of our seniors Dr. Nicole Abdo and Dr. Lauren Shapiro for representing emergency medicine and getting involved in leadership roles at USF by serving on the Resident Advisory Committee.
We look forward to what this summer brings. In the words of our EMRAF President, Dr. Matthew Beattie: “Stay up to date and learn every day, but place your health and happiness first.” ■
