From all of us at AdventHealth East Orlando, we hope you enjoyed happy and healthy holidays. We soon will come to the end of our interview season and have been greatly impressed, not only by the medical students rotating with us but also by the medical students who have journeyed near and far to sit with us for a few hours. During the season, Dr. Steven Nazario was promoted to Program Director after spending 12 years as the Associate Program Director. We greatly appreciate Dr. Dale Birenbaum for starting the program and leading us, and now hope to continue our strong tradition.

Our seniors enjoyed ACEP19 in Denver, though it was a little cold for our tastes. We braved the snow to attend lectures and demonstrations on the exhibit floor. We were also lucky enough to catch up with past graduates and interact with our attendings and colleagues on a new level. And while the seniors were away, the second-years were allowed to play and try their hands at being on third-year shifts.

Our interns are finally experiencing the joy that is our trauma month in Lakeland. They, as a class, have done well in the first half of the year and will continue to learn all that is set before them. As we come ever closer to our in-training exam, we hope all the studying and the hours of dedication continue to serve us well.

Finally, AdventHealth is excited to announce a Critical Care Fellowship based at our flagship Orlando campus. This two-year program is currently interviewing to seat six spots. We wish all the best to applicants and are excited for Match! ■
