Surgery Resident Newsletter

Welcome to Spring,

This is the time of year for many meetings.

Congratulations to Jacob Wolozsyn, who won

1st place in the resident competition at the

Pacific Coast Surgical Association Annual

Meeting during February in Monterey. I have

included a picture from the event.

I have also included a photo of Dr. Salcedo

skiing at the Western Trauma Association

Meeting in Telluride, CO, where Dr. Cocanour

is the current president.

There is a lot going on this month:

ABSITE scores are back.

Match is March 20.

The program for Research Day is being

created.

Several fellowship interview processes

are going strong.

The service is looking to alter the intern

schedule to 24hr Q3 call instead of the

current shift schedule. I will let you know

when this is in place. Please remember to

look at the PDFs prior to coming on to

service. There is a protocol on the service

now in which you must call the fellow or

attending for certain conditions with your

patients.
