Moving my daughter into college and look who I ran into. Nothing gives greater pride than watching your trainees successful. Congrats to KP and Charlene for being huge successes in their interventional cardiology fellowships. Of course what happened to wearing stethoscopes??? 😂
Thought I’d share the incredible news. After insane hard work in high school, my daughter Katie just got into her dream college - Vanderbilt. I know she’ll get an incredible education as she’s on the pre-med track. So proud of her and love watching her career begin.
I want to congratulate Carlos, our new CV fellow at Mayo FL, for this tremendous accomplishment. He is already demonstrating a love and affinity for leadership and I know he’ll be tremendously successful with this new position at the ACC.
Want to formally welcome Nahyr, Carlos, and Rashid to the CV fellowship at Mayo Jacksonville. We hit the jackpot yesterday with 3 extraordinarily talented individuals. Couldn’t be more thrilled. Congrats team!!!
What a wonderful match day for our fellowship! Mayo FL lucky to have an incoming team with such high character and talent. Beyond thrilled! Congrats Jenna, Jimmy, Bridget, Will, and Ufuk! And congrats to all who we were fortunate to interview. Future of cardiology is strong.
My 17-year-old daughter Katie already publishing more papers than I am. Great event at the Mayo science fair. Has done 2 summers in the lab doing myocarditis research. A budding cardiologist!!!
No words to express my pride and honor to observe Mayo trainees’ success at ACC. Just a few pics of our immense presence in New Orleans. Will go down as my favorite ACC ever. Congrats to the future leaders of our great field. The future is immensely bright!!!
Our invited guest, Dr. Sanjum Sethi from Columbia U provided some incredible info for the fellows yesterday about navigating the job market, following your passions, and making a great career trajectory. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Always so proud of our CV fellows. Beyond excited for Sam Espinosa to continue her training at Brigham’s interventional fellowship. She is going to train with some of the best mentors and docs around. Congrats Sam!!!
Hard to believe I already have a son in college. Just dropped him off at beautiful Tucson, AZ. Couldn’t be more proud or excited. Education brings so much happiness and fulfillment. Wishing I could be in his shoes again.
So proud of my 17 YO daughter Katie! Spent the summer doing CV research (particularly 3D and strain echo) on a myocarditis animal model. Budding cardiologist??? Can never start too early.
Our fellow Robyn Bryde a true Mayo doc and loving her experience in the Rochester CCU as our first fellow to rotate up there. We’re so proud of the collaboration and look forward to our Rochester fellows rotating down in FL. Keep up the great work Robyn!
Big shoutout to Goyal Umadat for his presentation at the North Florida CV Symposium. Tough case of a 45 YOM with CAD training for ultramarathons. What do do? Thought all the fellows in the city rocked it today. Great example of collaboration and friendships among our 3 programs.
Teaching TEE skills to some of the fellows using virtual reality at simulation center at Mayo. Made things so much easier to understand. Wish I had this when I was learning.
Got to welcome some of our new stars in the department at our food truck welcome party. The fellows and new staff are such a great addition to our family.

Rashid will be a star in our program. Couldn’t be more thrilled and honored. We had exceptional candidates this year. So thrilled to see an incredible collection of talent going into CV. Congrats to all and special should out to our new fellows Rashid, Nahyr, and Carlos!!!
Our CV fellow Robyn Bryde just got accepted to join new sports cardiology fellowship with Matt Martinez in NJ. We are so proud of her! What a tremendous opportunity to work with a master clinician and overall great person.
We are so proud of our CV fellowship graduates! Huge accomplishment and a wonderful celebration. Lots of tears flowing after a wonderful evening. Congrats to all these stars!
Incredible opportunity to practice medicine in the community on mobile medical bus with our new fellows and residents. Helped a lot of patients today at a women’s shelter in Jax.

Thanks so much! So on my way home from the conference I stopped at Buc-ees. It was an absolute zoo and made me reflect on why Americans are all hypertensive. The food industry is poisoning us. Still enjoyed my brisket sandwich tho 😀
