Fall procedure lab dump! 💉🩺

We do quarterly procedure labs, in lieu of our Thursday morning didactics. The 2 Fall labs are now complete!
Between the two, we covered:

- Pericardiocentesis
- Transvenous pacing
- Transcutaneous pacing/defibrillation/synchronized cardioversion (and Dual Sequence Defib - iykyk)
- Lateral canthotomy
- Minnesota Tube placement
- Arthrocentesis

Peep Patrick - our behind the scenes Sim Lab Hero who makes this all happen! We wouldn’t have these opportunities without him!

We mostly focus on “halo” procedures during these labs, that way we can be prepared when the time comes. And trust us - the time comes here at UMMC!

Glad you’re here, Dr. Ahlrich!

Last week’s conference looked a little different… it was our Fall Business Meeting/Retreat!

We spent the morning covering some departmental business over breakfast, then spent the rest of the morning & afternoon eating BBQ, playing beach volleyball, and taking a few laps on Dr. Sandifer’s boat 🚤 🏐 🍗

Already looking forward to doing it all again in the spring!

WEM Pool Day yesterday! 🏊‍♀️🍕
We enjoyed the weekday afternoon by the pool - perks of being ER docs! Our Women in EM group organizes a few fun events throughout the year. Can’t wait for the next!

Not pictured are Drs. Megan McLin & Dr. Chelsey Walker - we didn’t take a pic until the end and they both were already gone ☹️

Dr. Kellar is from Lafayette, Louisiana, and he went to the University of Louisiana at Monroe for undergrad. He attended the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine for med school. When he’s not at the hospital, he likes going to the gym, playing video games, reading fantasy novels, having board game nights with friends & family, and spending lazy nights inside with his wife Kalyn!
He’s excited to see his growth as a physician alongside his co-residents/friends.

Resuming our intern shoutouts - meet Tyler!

Dr. Babek is from Edmond, OK (OKC). He completed his undergraduate studies at Southern Nazarene University and went to medical school at Oklahoma State University College of Health Science in Tulsa.
Outside of medicine, he enjoys “Family, Friends, and Food,” as well as spending as much time outdoors as possible! He’s most looking forward to building the confidence to take on anything that comes through those doors—no matter how critical, chaotic, or unexpected.

🎶 His walkout song? Knife Talk by Drake

We love having witty Dr. Babek around! Glad you’re here!

Our PGY-3s thoroughly enjoyed their time at ACEP ‘25 in SLC this week! They spent time at the conference, hiking the beautiful mountains, enjoying lots of good eats, and lots more. There’s something special about spending some well-earned time off with your cohort in a beautiful, fun city 🫶🏼

Class of ‘26 - may we never forget the great GPS debacle that was Stansbury Island 😅

Also, so good to see one of our ‘25 grads, Jake Rice!! Thanks for showing us around!
