Residents of the Month
Dr. Arwa Mohammed: “She was absolutely fantastic to work with. She truly made my role as the attending, nearly obsolete, which is the best thing I could say! She would take time out of the busy days to teach medical students. I personally witnessed her manage multiple complicated and challenging patient situations with ease. She upholds professional standards and I wish she was staying here to be a Hospitalist with us after residency. “
Dr. Bhavna Guduguntla: “Outstanding skills as senior resident. Provided just the right amount of oversight, while also allowing some independence of the learners. Excellent teacher as well!”
Dr. Akansha Jain: “She impressed me with her curiosity, eagerness to learn, and adaptability. She is exceptionally smart and one of the few people I have seen in my training who can learn so quickly. She is incredibly hardworking and energetic, capable of spending an entire night shift placing new lines 🙂 She also shows strong self-awareness, reflecting on her performance and proactively seeking guidance to improve. Beyond her skills, she is kind, approachable, and a joy to work with. I feel fortunate to have shared a few night shifts with her, and I am confident she will be an outstanding critical care physician!”
Dr. Jesse Herche: “He showed outstanding rapport with patients. Several patients made (unprompted) compliments about him. For example a patient said that she really appreciated how he listened to her. Another patient mentioned how kind he had been. I also saw him offer empathy on the spot in response to patients’ comments. He was also able to redirect the occasional patient’s unhelpful approach/comment about a situation. He also took time to teach the medical student and give feedback on her notes. For example, he covered in details all the signs and symptoms one may detect as sequelae of chronic uncontrolled hypertension (from cardiac remodelling to changes in brain MRIs). He did not just list these symptoms and signs but added depth by including reasoning (for example that changes in the bMRI may be more severe in the lower part of the brain (basilar) as the pressure would be higher there than more distally in the brain vasculature)”
