Hi from Kendall Regional Medical Center EM Residency! We hope everyone had an amazing holiday season with their friends and family. Our residents and faculty had the chance to celebrate the holidays at Program Director Dr. Slane’s annual party in December. We had so much fun and can’t wait to repeat it again next year!

It has been an exciting first half to this academic year. While we unfortunately couldn’t have our annual friendly SimWars Competition with Aventura’s EM Residency due to COVID restrictions, we have continued to have several socially distant simulation activities at the Broward College Simulation Lab. We are also excitedly planning for our next Wilderness Day in a couple of months with Drs. Brea and Leiva.

Congratulations to Drs. Mark Rivera and Ricardo Rodriguez Perez, who will be joining us at Kendall next year as the newest ultrasound fellows! We are also proud to announce that several of our senior residents have accepted fellowship positions in various parts of the country, including Dr. Glen Malaret Hernandez, who is going to Jacobi Medical Center in New York City for ultrasound and Dr. Caitlin Blackwell, who is going to Greenville Hospital in South Carolina for ultrasound. We will also be keeping two of our own on board: Drs. Kelly Wright and Collin Smith will be staying as the administrative fellows! ■
