So lovely to see our amazing first years settling in and building lifelong friendships! From celebrating babies and weddings to karaoke bars (with cameos from a few of the 3rd years), they’re doing an amazing job both in the hospital and out! #ThisIsPACCSM

A man in scrubs speaks to a small group of men and women in front of a ventilator in a conference room.

The man in scrubs watches as one of the incoming first year fellows breathes on the ventilator (with his mouth on a filter mouthpiece).

Can’t wait to welcome our brand new first year fellows starting this week! In celebration, here’s a throwback to the current third years’ orientation, featuring the brilliant Dr. Kreit having us all experience mechanical ventilation firsthand.
