| | | UNC DHM at SHM Converge 2026 UNC DHM had a great showing at SHM Converge in Nashville! We had 22 vignette and 5 research innovation abstracts (complete list below). We also had a vignette and research abstract in the finalists, presented by medical student Kassidy Lovins (mentored by Emily Sturkee and Jen McEntee) and Carlton Moore, respectively (action photos below). For perspective, only 10 abstracts are finalists in each category out of hundreds of accepted abstracts! And Kassidy took home the best trainee vignette this year!¶

| | | | | | | | | | | | Our group showed excellent mentorship, with multiple trainees traveling to present abstracts written with DHM faculty. This included Kassidy Lovins as above, med/peds residents Abigail Schulz, Sam Mickel-Hulse and Nonye Onokalah, pediatric resident Initha Setiady, and medicine residents Daniel Song and Stefan Constante.¶

Welcome to Dr. Maggie Fennell! Maggie is the current Med-Peds chief resident who will be joining our division in July as our 2nd POCUS and Procedural fellow. Like our first fellow, Dr. Erin Finn, she came to UNC from Rochester SOM and loves to bake. She majored in government, studied abroad in one of my favorite cities (Florence!), and was a paralegal in a past life before turning to medicine.
| |
Her first authorship debut was a doozy – publishing “Impact of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) on the management of hospitalized pediatric patients” in Hospital Pediatrics this year with Finn as the senior author. I guess we can check publication off her fellowship to-do list already? She’ll be completing her point-of-care ultrasound certificate of completion through SHM-CHEST this year and joining Finn and me in all our POCUS shenanigans nationally.
| | | | | | | | | | | | I look forward to teaching her how to coach procedures while the bed height is low enough that she’ll have to stoop and high enough that I’ll be on my tip toes the whole time. Give her a warm welcome when you see her and ask her about the time she almost got arrested during rounds! And don’t let her heat up your soup because you’ll never be able to open your container again. Welcome, Mags!¶
