Among the many medical practitioners groups who are recognized annually, a hard-working, enthusiastic group cannot be overlooked – residents and fellows. Led by the Gold Humanism Society, “Thank a Resident and Fellow Day” each year celebrates physician specialists and subspecialists in training as vital to patient care leadership and as critical team members in the healthcare workforce.

This year, Hospitals joins teaching hospitals across the U.S. in celebrating its post-graduate learners for “Thank a Resident and Fellow Day” on Friday, February 23rd.  The Office of GME, Gold Humanism Society students and Anesthesiology members were on hand at the NC Cancer Hospital to thank trainees going on duty with a grab-and-go breakfast and appreciation gifts. Hospital-wide, faculty wore their appreciation with “We Love our Residents and Fellows” buttons.

Anesthesiology Resident Program Director Susie Martinelli, MD, FASA, noted: “Our top priority as the Department of Anesthesiology is providing outstanding care to the people of North Carolina. We would not be able to fulfill this mission without the dedication, compassion, and attention to detail provided by our amazing residents and fellows.  We are grateful to work with these fantastic trainees and are proud to have them on our team.”
