🌟 Collaboration in Action Across WiNC! 🌟
During the past academic year, WiNC has focused on strengthening collaboration across our programs. One way we’ve advanced this effort is by aligning didactic learning times and hosting virtual, quarterly shared didactic sessions. These gatherings bring residents and fellows from all five programs together for meaningful, cross‑program learning.
Last week, we were joined by Angela Rust, Senior Counsel at Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, and Dr. Jennifer Michels of Rock Point Psychology LLC, who shared their expertise on The Law and Physicians and Wellbeing: Core Practices. The session also included thoughtful conversations around patient safety and quality improvement. ⚖️🩺
But collaboration doesn’t stop there! Our programs also partner through shared rotations. Dr. Alexander Burns, a PGY‑3 resident at the MCW–Prevea Green Bay Family Medicine Residency, recently completed an Emergency Medicine rotation with the Tamarack Health Emergency Medicine Fellowship in Ashland, WI. Dr. Patrick O'Flaherty, the Emergency Medicine fellow, and Dr. Burns even took some time outside the clinical setting to enjoy a hike at the beautiful Potato River Falls. 🌲👣
We love seeing our learners grow, connect, and support each other across the WiNC community! 💙✨
