Plays of the Week:
Play of the week to Dr. Samantha Hanciles, Dr. Nicole Martin, Dr. Brian Fissel, Dr. Kayla Sallander, and Dr. Kevin Westbrook for presenting the PI/QI mid-year presentations. They were excellent and showed a great understanding of the A3 model and PI/QI process.
Play of the week goes to Dr. Bailey Howard, who did an excellent job on her LP with the Heme/Onc team. One team member said it was the best LP they've seen done in their time here. Great work Bailey!
Play of the week to Dr. Gregory Gorman, who has graciously agreed to help with scheduling our 4th year medical students for this year. If anyone knows any prospective/interested future residents please send them to Dr. Gorman and myself! Return of the king!
Play of the week to our leader himself, Dr. Joseph May, who performed multiple ECHOs and closely manage a cardiac patient in the NICU and identifying pathology requiring transfer. He even helped to coordinate the transfer himself. Thank you for all you do, sir!
