Plays of the Week:
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Play of the week goes to Dr. Robert Crutcher, who matched to Pediatric Neurology Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Very well deserved, congrats Rob!
Play of the week to Dr. Suhani Patel and Dr. Karina Kauffman Brown, who did an excellent job managing a complex Ward Census as a two-person team during the week!
Play of the week to Dr. McKenzie Bowling, who received stellar feedback from her time at White Oak. The team there commented that she was extremely dedicated, stayed into the evening, sought feedback, provided compassionate care, and participated in a QI project during her time. She also successfully intubated a neonate during her rotation. Great job McKenzie!
