Excited to return to the ASA Conference this year and present another one of my projects on “Enhancing Adverse Event Reporting: A Quality Improvement Initiative Across One Health System’s Nine Anesthesiology Departments”!

Starting off 4th year with my first rotation in the MICU next Monday! Any tips, advice, and resources are greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻 *while (im)patiently waiting for my STEP 2 results*

The part that gets me isn’t what’s inside but the fact that the human is using their bare hands to adjust the drape 🥴

Today, standing next to my patient as they’re coding and receiving chest compressions to no avail in the ICU, and hearing the announcement of “time of death” is a feeling I’m not going to forget. Gonna need some time to process this one

Honestly, so grateful that I’m starting fourth year on my ICU rotation. In this first week, I feel like I’ve learned to manage patients more than I have on some of my other rotations and have taken full ownership of my patients. Also goals of care meetings = SO IMPORTANT

Went on a little field trip today and drove to my patient’s house to help him pick up his property taxes and documents so that he wouldn’t get a penalty for filing late while he was in the ICU. It’s the little things. ☺️

Such an amazing panel with these Program Directors! So much good info for those looking to apply into anesthesiology this year! We had over 200 attendees at one point. If you missed it, click the link in the bio of FutureAnesRes

Last day of my home anesthesia AI and couldn’t be more secure in my decision to pursue this specialty!! Finished with a bang with 2 intubations, a peripheral IV, and an A-line 🤭
