Plays of the Week:
Play of the week goes to Dr. Ben Jack who fearlessly led clinic orientation!
Play of the week also goes to Dr. Suhani Patel on their poster presentation acceptance for the AAP NCE!
Play of the week also goes to Dr. Colin McNamara and Dr. Greenwald for naming a baby this week! Going above and beyond and helping an indecisive mother!
Play of the week goes to Dr. Elizabeth Rahman, who confidently and competently led the team in resuscitating a very sick term newborn. No doubt will she go on to save lives as a general pediatrician.
Play of the week goes to Dr. Schacht, who has returned from his deployment in Poland!
Play of the week also goes to Dr. Perkins for leading the first Academic Half-Day with some of the cutest helpers. See above for some pictures of our residents learning the new CDC Milestones and practicing their developmental evaluation skills. Thank you to Drs. Rowe, Stering, Greenwald, Schulz, and Bencze for covering the inpatient services while the teams were away.
Finally, play of the week goes to Dr. Kimball-Eayrs who has officially retired after 27 years of service! You will be greatly missed!!
