“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Today we congratulate Dr. George Munguia, a resident in Emergency and Critical Care for being appreciated by his trainees. An intern shared, “Since the first day I worked with Dr. Munguia, I knew that when he was on duty, it was going to be a GREAT day in the ER. Dr. Munguia is so smart and such a great teacher for us interns. Even in the stressful ECC environment, he remains patient, kind, funny, and he just gets us! He is always pushing us to do better because he believes in us and even after a bad day, he only has encouraging words. He will be an amazing criticalist!”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for style or length. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. For more information, visit the PVM Wellness Committee website.
