Greetings from Sarasota! Since our last update, we have made it through the Delta variant surge and the holidays. In addition, our hospital system opened an eight story oncology tower on our main campus and a new hospital in Venice, FL. Somewhere along the line, we even found time to clean and restore a local trail system and host our annual holiday party.

As our first group of PGY-3s prepare for life after residency, we would like to congratulate Dr. Darrel Ray, who has been accepted to the University of South Florida for an ultrasound fellowship. He has served as our ultrasound resident chair and has been instrumental in both starting our TEE resuscitation program and educating residents and students.

Lastly, we would like to thank all the nurses, techs, ancillary staff, residents, and attendings from across the state for making it through another busy holiday season. ■
