R E S I D E N C Y S P O T L I G H T EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Dr. Manish Amin, Program Director

T his last academic year in the emergency department has been both challenging and gratifying. Challengingdue toCOVID. Gratifying also due to COVID. Our residents have shown great poise, empathy and compassion as they have been overwhelmedwith the volumeandacuity of patients due to this worldwide pandemic. Nevertheless, they have responded in a way that only makes our emergency department proud. Though they have had to deal with personal illnesses and family constraints they have risen above and beyond those circumstances and supplied excellent care to all in our community whether it be seeing patients in the emergency department, aiding in the Kern Medical vaccination clinics or covering extra shifts in the intensive care unit to help our internal medicine colleagues. All levels of trainees from intern to senior

residency have felt this great burden and met the challenge. We are very grateful to be part of this amazing team serving the county of Kern.
