University of California, San Francisco Kristina Sullivan, MD The UCSF Anesthesia Residency Program continues to focus on community and connection with events that bring our people together. Our CA-2 residents had a retreat at the Casini Family Ranch in Duncan Mills, California. Our protected " Anesthesia Education Days (AEDs) " are all in person this year with group lunches with the PD/APDs/Faculty. Residents are also invited to gather on the first Friday of the month at our " First Friday " residency events hosted by the chief residents and class reps. The PD/APDs also hosted group dinners for residents and fellows in September, October, and November. And finally, our all-department holiday event returned this year for the first time since 2019. We also continue to publish quarterly residency newsletters. This tradition was started by the class reps of 2021-2022. The newsletter features sections by the chair, PD or APD, chiefs, and class reps. Our fall newsletter of 2022 also featured a section titled " Alumni Spotlight. " Several alumni sent in their favorite memories from residency and advice for navigating early careers. CA-2 Residents at their Retreat at the Casini Family Ranch 52 | CSA Vital Times
