Dr. Warrington,

How long do you plan to accept applications before deciding whom to interview? When do you expect to have interviews?

We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis and will start offering interviews later this week. We expect to start interviews next week and will likely have dates until the week of 2/11.

I can't find any information about this program except on SDN. Do you have a website? Are your faculty members fellowship-trained? How many visits per year to the emergency department? Who runs the pediatric ED?

Our IT department is working on getting our information onto the hospital's website, but unfortunately we don't have the website active yet. Some brief information about our program:

· Volume ~115k between main campus and freestanding ED (~10 min drive)

· Level 2 trauma center with helipad

· Comprehensive stroke center with neuro-interventional 24/7

· Chest pain center

· Facility has its own PICU

· Level 3 NICU to be completed spring 2019

· Second FSED opening up in March 2019

· Integrating advanced technology throughout the institution. Some of the examples include:

o RFID tracking

o Electronic communication boards in patient rooms integrated with RFID tracking and EMR (i.e. Dr. X entered the room, 1/3 test results are back)

o Hand sanitizers linked to register badges nearby when used

o Campaigns is a link to a video that shows some of the capabilities for those interested.

· Attendings from (15+) different EM residency programs provides exposure to different practice styles and approaches

· FL has no state income tax

· Located 45 minutes from the beach

· Located 45 minutes from the airport

· Only 2 weeks are scheduled outside of OPMC, and those are at Memorial Hospital ~30 minutes away.




Other Residency / Fellowship programs:

· Approved: FM, IM, TY, Psych, Derm, Cardiology, Palliative care

· Awaiting decision: GS, Clinical informatics




Residents are provided:

· Laptop

· Smartphone

· Meals in cafeteria (not limited such as ‘on-call meals’)

· Along with general / competitive resident stipends / benefits


In regards to your questions:
The pediatric EM experience is based out of our institution with training under the supervision of adult EM attendings.
Faculty highlights:
Only one is formally fellowship trained - simulation
Non-fellowship highlights includes: Masters of Education; Medical informatics (sitting for boards in upcoming year); Medical education research certificate training; multiple with additional ultrasound training with 3 pursuing RDMS status; 1 to sit for addiction medicine boards; 2 with additional simulation training but not fellowship trained; and 2 who have a global health focus and do annual trips.

Some of our faculty trained before certain fellowships were common, but now that we have an accredited residency program they are motivated to sit / obtain the formal certification to help demonstrate the credibility. To give an example, even though we don't have the formal ultrasound fellowship trained individual and are a community program, we still have a resuscitative TEE class scheduled for the attendings.

Thanks
Steve
