Yesterday was Thank a Resident (and Fellow) Day! Our residents are the heart of our program and we are thankful for everything they do!

Our graduates pursue a mix of fellowship and private practice opportunities. This year, eight of our graduating residents have matched into fellowship. Three in OB Anesthesia, three in Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, one in Pediatric Anesthesia, and one in Pain Medicine.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year! The intern year academic medicine rotation (AMR) just wrapped up, and we were all so impressed with the QI projects this class completed during their month.

Happy Halloween! Our Resident Wellness Committee is dedicated to planning social events for the residents. In October, some of our residents got together for an elaborate Halloween-themed food spread including mummy dogs and pumpkin shaped pimento cheese. They also carved pumpkins to display on their porches.

Our residents are loving their time at ASA! Make sure to come see us at the medical student meet and greet from 4-6!

Family Day 2022! Each year UNC Anesthesia hosts our annual family day for new CA-1s and their support systems. Friends and family get to practice technical skills like IVs and intubations and go through OR simulations to better understand what it’s like to be an anesthesia resident. We look forward to this day every year!

We will be hosting our DEI virtual informational session next month! Come interact with our residents and faculty as we discuss diversity at UNC and in the greater Raleigh-Durham area! Sign up here: https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cMB1nGBMSeIuklM
