Dr. Tintinalli presented on “The Strengths and Talents of Emergency Medicine” during grand rounds followed by a round-table lunch with the EM residents and faculty.
“It was a real honor to have Dr. Tintinalli come speak at our hospital,” said Dr. Bill Gartlan, resident at Southeastern. “We use her emergency medicine book every week! She has vast experience in emergency medicine, and we really enjoyed hearing from her about the past, present, and future issues of emergency medicine.”
“Dr. Tintinalli is not only a luminary in the field of Emergency Medicine, but also a genuine advocate for the future of our specialty locally, nationally, and globally,” said Dr. Elizabeth Gignac, EM Residency program director at Southeastern Health. “Her visit and vision helped to solidify our mission to be a center of academic and clinical excellence.”
