Season’s Greetings from Mount Sinai! We are halfway through the academic year and have had the pleasure of meeting several excellent candidates for next year’s cohort of residents. Interview season is in full swing, as well as our weekly “Toast Tuesday” dinners for interviewees.

Our residents had a strong presence at ACEP19. Dr. Zachary Gimbel spoke about the approach to failed surgical airways in the Drop the Mic competition, and Dr. Elizabeth Rubin presented a fantastic overview of narcan-induced ARDS in the 20 in 6 competition. Sinai also had a team participate in the EMRA MedWar, comprised of Drs. Stephanie Fernandez, Hannah Gordon and Jiodany Perez.

On the local stage, Dr. Jenna Varner and Dr. Laurie Boge were keynote speakers at the AMWA regional Conference at NSU. Dr. Nicholas Boyko and Dr. Fenil Patel also led several educational opportunities for NSU medical students, including a splinting workshop and advanced airway course. Both residents and attendings also volunteered at the local soup kitchen at Camillus House and served dinner to nearly 800 people!

Lastly, a word of congratulations to our seniors who have accepted positions for fellowship next year. Dr. Natasha Brown will be attending a Disaster Medicine fellowship at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess, and Dr. Elizabeth Rubin will begin a Simulation fellowship at University of Chicago. Mount Sinai is proud to report that we will also welcome our first Ultrasound fellows next summer, led by our own Ultrasound Director, Dr. Mark Newberry! ■
