Starting off our Senior send off with our very own Dr. Jaydip Desai!
Where are you headed to next?
Critical Care-Anesthesiology Fellowship at The University of Florida (UF) Shands Hospital 🐊
What are you most looking forward to after graduation?
To enhance my skillset on difficult and advanced airway techniques, bolster my critical care knowledge base through a variety of ICU exposure, and incorporating a new style of medicine into daily practice as an ED attending. I am also looking forward to year round golf as winter isn’t a thing in Florida ☀️
What will you miss the most about residency?
I will miss the friendships I formed over the past three years with everyone in the department from attendings to co-residents, APPs, nurses, pharmacists, CCTs, RTs. Having them watch me grow over three years in the resuscitation bay was probably a wild experience ! I will also miss the Celsius fridge in the cafeteria.
Any final words of advice for incoming interns and current residents?
Coming into the field of emergency medicine with little to no experience as a medical student had me very nervous going into my first year. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Run your own race , and certainly do not sprint in the beginning. Figure out what your own strengths and weaknesses are so you could build your own craft to deliver the best care possible to your patients. Read every single day to stay up to date on current guidelines, and continue to build your knowledge base so clinically it becomes easier to justify your actions. And once you establish yourself as you become more senior in residency, make sure you pay it forward to the next generation of doctors following in your footsteps by helping them out. Lastly, make sure you also take care of yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally throughout the process. Your patients don’t deserve anything than you, at your very best.
