Bree Moffett, a PGY-2, was awarded with the “You Make A Difference” Award. With this award, each resident is given a starfish pin to signify the story that goes along with this award, which essentially means even with the smallest act, can make a big difference! We are so proud of you, Bree!

Meet the group that keeps our residency running like a well oiled machine!
Bruce Wayne, I mean Dr. Crout, is our fearless leader! As program director (and after hours as Batman) he is basically our residency dad! He knows all things pediatrics, GME, and Andy Griffith! Need an antibiotic rec? He is your guy! Movie quote or dad joke? Just stop by his office! He has dedicated his entire career to the children of Mississippi and most of his career to teaching medical students and residents. We couldn’t be more thankful for him!

Laura is our Manager of Health Education / Residency Program Administrator. She wears so many hats, we really can’t even tell you all of her jobs! She has always been our medical student mom and part time residency mom, but has recently become full time residency mom after retired. She is a Disney enthusiast, keeper of candy, and friend! We miss Melanie so much so are so thankful to Laura for stepping in so flawlessly!

Vicki and Sarah are Residency/Fellowship Program Coordinators but step in to any role we need! They are always ready to help and are some of our best assets and cheerleaders.

Today, we are featuring our AWESOME assistant program directors! Dr. Gilliam, Dr. Schneider, Dr. Hood, and Dr. Morgan work hard to make sure residents are getting the best education and experience possible while also being general pediatric hospitalists and wearing so many other hats! This picture was taken when they ALL were on wards the same week! Each have their own “house”. Each residency class is split 4 ways into a house that meets once monthly. The APDs discuss changes, issues, listen to complaints, and more during these meetings. Each house also competes through the year gaining points different ways. Our APDs ensure we are meeting our milestones, prepping for boards, and more!

Dr. Hood is our newest APD to join the crew. She is fellowship trained in pediatric hospital medicine, and we are thankful for all she brings to the table from education, to residency experience, to administration! She is a wonderful role model, mentor, and friend. See what she has to say about being an APD!

“I’ve been so excited to take on the role of Associate Program Director this year. Resident mentorship is one of my favorite parts of being an academic hospitalist. Watching residents grow in their confidence and clinical skills is incredibly rewarding. Our residents are eager to learn and to provide compassionate, comprehensive care for our patients. I can’t imagine a better place to work than Children’s of Mississippi!”

Big congrats to Dr. on resident of the month! She did a wonderful job on nights this month. We are so proud of you!

Team Tuesday this week is featuring Team 2! This team covers general pediatrics as well patients on the cardiology service. They are on call for gen peds every 4th day but admit cards patients any day they come in. Our hospital has pediatric CT surgery as well as a cath lab and cardiac PICU which means our cardiology team gets direct exposure to basically all heart lesions and issues pre-op, post-op, inter-stage, post cath, and years to follow. Dr. Harrison, who is pictured, is one of our amazing general pediatric hospitalists who rotate weekly. This resident part of the team is made up an upper level, an intern, and this month an awesome anesthesia intern. We love our off service rotators (anesthesia, psych, and family medicine)!

Keep up the great work this month, team 2! Almost to the new block!

We have had the BEST few days hanging out with our M4s during our social hour, chief chats, tours, and lunch. What a fun group! We are pumped to get to know even more cool M4s over the next few months through more social hours, chief chats, and second look days!

Wishing all of you a wonderful interview season!
