January 2012 Residency NewsSTFM Foundation awarded Geoffrey Carden, MD (faculty) a New Faculty Scholar Award for 2012, one of only 7 given by the Foundation. The award is in recognition of outstanding leadership potential. Dr Carden will be attending the STFM annual meeting in April to receive his award.Safely Home On January 9th, the residency launched our new post-hospital follow up visit program called Safely Home. At this visit, all patients discharged the week before are seen by the attending physician who cared for them in the hospital, a pharmacist, a nurse educator, a social worker and a mental health provider to ensure that all needs are met. Patients are learning much more about their health and illnesses, their medications and resources that they can access. It has been a lot of fun and well received by patients and providers alike. 02/03/2012
