Greetings from Miami! We can’t believe it’s already 2022. It seems like just yesterday we were hosting our orientation month and the annual Intern Welcome BBQ at Dr. Arthur Diskin’s house.

Now, we are at the tail end of our second virtual recruitment season. Overall, it has been a success. Our faculty and residents, along with our applicants, have embraced the challenge and have done a great job. We have had an exceptional group of applicants and are looking forward to our Class of 2025.

Our residents and faculty have also pushed forward with our social EM program. While it has been challenging during COVID, our residents have continued their commitment to incorporating a patient’s social context into their care to address their needs better. Our residents have focused on four core issues: community outreach, access to care, social justice, and curriculum integration. For more, you can check out our website at miamiemresidency.org in the Social EM Section.

As we look back on 2021, we want to take a moment and express our thanks and gratitude. We are thankful for our talented, dedicated, and hard-working faculty, residents, and staff. We are grateful and proud to be at Jackson Health System and the University of Miami, providing care to all those in need. We are excited to continue the mission of our program and institution and are looking forward to 2022! ■
