RESIDENTS
FROM THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE MAKING STRONG IMPRESSIONS |
A
survey of residency program directors assessing the quality of work being
done by 2005 FSU College of Medicine graduates in comparison to graduates of
other programs reveals high levels of satisfaction. The survey is one of
many ways in which the College of Medicine monitors graduate and program
director perceptions to ensure the overall quality of the educational
program. The latest graduate to be honored is Dr. Garrett Chumney, a member
of the college’s inaugural class. In late June he received the University of
Florida Raymond H. Alexander, M.D., Intern of the Year award. Chumney is in his second year with the UF Health Science Center-Jacksonville
general surgery residency program. One of six interns in the program during
2005-06, Chumney initially did not plan to attend the health center’s annual
awards program because of responsibilities at the hospital.
However, Dr.
Richard Crass, the program director, persuaded Chumney to be in attendance
for the surprise announcement of his honor, determined by a vote of peers
and faculty.
Chumney’s College of Medicine classmate, Dr. Fawn Grigsby, previously was
named outstanding resident of the quarter at All-Children’s Hospital in St.
Petersburg, where she is in the University of South Florida pediatrics
residency program.
