Daisy Awards!

Diabetes Nurse Kaitelynn has been nominated for a Daisy Award, not once but twice this summer! The Daisy Award recognizes nurses who exemplify skillful and compassionate care to patients and their families. She is pictured below being presented with one of her Daisy pins and letters. We’ve notice that she already has several Daisy pins on her badge, evidence that she is so great with patients and their families. Thanks Kaitelynn for being one of our group of amazing pediatric diabetes nurses!!

Endocrine Board Review!

Years ago, Dr. Pesce started a monthly tradition of a divisional board review, where one faculty leads the division and rotating residents and students in tackling a few endocrine medical board-like questions. The sessions are light-hearted, jocular, informative, and the questions are usually very difficult. Here is a picture from May 5th’s session, led by Dr. Kanner. Incidentally, Dr. Palmer is holding Pretzel, a service dog who was visiting us.

The Division getting ready for some tough knowledge questions.
