Plays of the Week:
Happy National Women Physician Day yesterday! Shout out to Dr. Lisa Sukenaga, Dr. Amy Davis, and Dr. Madeleine Mascitti for covering!
Play of the week to Dr. Kevin Westbrook, who covered down on the NICU when needed this week. Kevin does a great job stepping up whenever asked, and sets a great example for junior residents. Keep up the good work!
We have new resident joining the program starting on February 12th. Dr. Deborah Kolade will be transferring from the TY Program and starting as a Pediatric Intern! Deborah is a USU Graduate with the Army, and we are very excited for her to be joining. She will be orienting on February 9th. Please welcome her to the program!
