Play of the week also goes to Dr. Emily Ferraro, who graciously stepped in on backup on an incredibly busy ward day.

Play of the week also goes to Drs. Colin McNamara and Nicole Martin on their impressive MR case presentations last week.

Play of the week also goes to Drs. Colin McNamara, Brian Graziose, Sidney Zven, and Kristen Smith on their poster presentation acceptance, “Combatting Food Insecurity in the Military: A Standardized Approach to Screening at Risk Families for WIC Eligibility” to the 2023 AMSUS Annual Meeting

Play of the week also goes to Dr. Jack Goetzman for his two abstract submissions, "Early Management of Afghani Evacuees" and "Humanitarian Mission at Home: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's Experience in Operation Allies Refuge and Operation Allies Welcome" (co-authored with Dr. Leela Patel). One of his articles was also featured here.

Play of the week goes to Dr. Rob Crutcher, who recently did a primary care evaluation of a grade school age child with concern for Autism. He utilized a sub-specialty level tool (CARS-2) in his primary care clinic to aid his evaluation AND he communicated his assessment and clinical question in a succinct and organized referral. Way to make your Devo faculty proud!

Additionally, Play of the week goes to Dr. Hepps! …because she knows the secret to a 1-day resident pass from morning report! Ask Schulz, Groomes, or Hepps for more details on YOUR 1-day morning report freebie pass!

Last but not least, a huge thank you to Drs. Jack Goetzman and Sidney Zven for stepping in as acting Chief Residents during my absence.

Pediatrics Obesity Education Survey

Help CAPT Emerick and her curriculum development team improve our Pediatrics Obesity Education. Your answers will directly impact the educational content we plan to deliver this Spring!
Please consider clicking on the link here and sharing 2-3 minutes of your time in order to help gauge interest in further education on the care of pediatric obesity within the clinical setting. Your participation is greatly appreciated!

Aiding Families through Deployment

We are looking to create a set of resources that can be used to support active-duty families before, during, and after deployments, particularly related to the psychosocial effects of parental separation on children.
Please complete the following survey: https://forms.gle/3qG3GdkYUU6RA7Mc9 (if staff, choose "other")
In our two-pronged approach, we hope to further educate and prepare pediatricians for assisting families during these times, as well as create a resource for families. We hope that by familiarizing pediatricians with, and educating parents on, the known effects of deployment we will be able to provide an extra layer of support for these children.

AAP SOUS Newsletter

Call for submissions: interested in essays on personal experiences, pediatric or operational expertise, description of innovative programs, and artistic endeavors, including visual or written art!
The newsletter is a great way to showcase the wonderful work going on within the section as well as assist others in creative problem-solving as they work in the military pediatrics setting.
Send all submissions to candace.s.percival.mil@health.mil at your earliest convenience (NLT October 21).
