Her favorite mems of residency: “Learning from my LifeFlight family 1000ft above middle TN and countless dinners/post-shift drinks/laughs with co-residents.”

Her advice for future residents? “Make the most of this time. You will get out of residency what you put into it. Learn from everyone. Lean into discomfort and uncertainty. Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” The beauty and challenge of our job is that you get to be a forever-learner. You’ll blink and it will be over, but don’t worry, you can always do a fellowship...or another residency :)”
(for those who don’t know, Katie actually completed a PM&R residency before joining us in EM!)

We’ll miss Katie so much, but we can’t wait to watch her thrive as a crit care medicine fellow in St. Louis! 🤩
