Med-Peds Transition Medicine Track
I’m the first Med-Peds resident to take part in our brand new Transition Medicine track offered to Med-Peds, IM, and Peds residents. In this track we play a role in helping shape our institution’s new transition medicine clinic, meet up once a month for journal club with the goal of becoming experts in the field of Transition Medicine by our graduation date, work to actively teach our co-residents on both sides about the financial/physical/emotional barriers to transitioning patients with chronic childhood conditions to adult care, and work closely with our amazing faculty track mentors (JT and Anjali Saxena) to produce more evidence based research and guidelines for safely transitioning some of our most complex and diagnostically unique patients. At this time, I’m currently working with the pediatric GI team to improve their transition of patients with Crohn’s Disease to adult GI care. To me, there’s no opportunity that screams MP4L louder than taking part in shaping this new frontier of medicine here in Miami.
