Fall was busy, yet exciting for our department here at Jax! Just as our new interns have started to settle in, we have turned our attention to recruitment and interview season for the Class of 2022. We have welcomed outstanding 4th year medical students to our department for their externship rotations. Additionally, we have continued with our Jax EM Sneak Peek events and have begun interviewing for Match 2022. We cannot wait to meet the next group of interns!

In October, our PGY-3 class attended the ACEP Scientific Assembly in Boston. While education and networking were a top priority, they managed to have a ton of fun as well. While the third-years were off having a good time, our second-year residents stepped into new leadership roles within the department. We have no doubt that they will be ready to run the department in the next academic year.

Finally, we have several successes to celebrate. Congratulations to Dr. Andrew Warren for matching into an EMS fellowship at Medical College of Georgia and to Dr. John Hurley for matching into a combined Addiction Medicine and Toxicology fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University! We would also like to congratulate one of our APDs, Dr. Melissa Parsons, for being named one of EMRA’s 25 Under 45 honorees for her work on gender equity, physician wellness, and physician infertility.

We here at Jax hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. Until next time! ■
