ā€œProfessional Developmentā€ part 1

We started the retreat day with our upcoming PGY2 and 3s (and med peds 4s) hearing about program updates, work place enjoyment, burnout, patient experience, and hand offs as well as from our different departments and being good teachers! We had walk out songs, prizes, and lots of laughs. Some of our residents even showed off their acting skills and quick NICU calculations!

The children of Mississippi are getting another year of some of the best resident doctors around!

The Mississippi Chapter of the AAP recently held their state meeting. We had residents, medical students, and attendings representing us with posters and presentations! A few of our attendings not pictured were there as attendees and judges as well!

We pride ourselves at Childrenā€™s of Mississippi on our unique pathologies that lead to so much learning as well as opportunities for case reports, posters, and oral presentations!

Congratulations to all of those who found out they have matched! And best of luck to all of those who are preparing to SOAP. Great things lie ahead. You have already accomplished so much on this journey.

We CANNOT wait for Friday to see where all of the amazing M4ā€™s that have learned alongside of us are headed. Whether it be in pediatrics or any other specialty, we are immensely proud of you!

Hereā€™s to the best week of the year!

Dr. Jasmine Ware presented earlier this month at grand rounds on the roots of distrust. What great timing with Black History Month! Dr. Ware is not only a fantastic doctor but amazing role model to our patients (and co residents!!). She is a fierce advocate and cares so deeply for our children. We are so proud to call her ours and for her presentation.

Scroll to see some of her slides and take away points!

The UMMC Triage Line has been set up for calls from patients. The telephone number is 601-815-0000. For medical emergencies, call 911.

Requests for time-sensitive needs, such as medication refills or postoperative care visits, will be prioritized.

What to expect when you call

Please speak clearly when prompted to provide your name, callback number, date of birth, who you are trying to reach and your reason for calling. People calling for prescription refills should have on hand the medication name and dosage, plus the name, address and telephone number of their pharmacy.

About the call back

Messages will be routed to the appropriate person for a return phone call, in as timely a manner as possible. Please be aware your return call may be from a non-UMMC number. Return calls may be delayed as we anticipate a high volume of calls daily from across the state.

Please do not call multiple times. Repeated calls will slow our ability to respond.

We apologize for this interruption of our services. Teams are working around the clock to restore full operations and help as many people as quickly as we possibly can.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Mississippi teens are experiencing rising rates of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, and demand for specialized care continues to grow. Childrenā€™s of Mississippi has opened a new adolescent acute psychiatric unit designed specifically for patients ages 13 to 17, filling a long-standing gap in inpatient services. Learn how hospital leaders say the new unit will improve safety, continuity of care and support for families: https://umc.edu/news/News_Articles/2026/02/adolescent-acute-psychiatric-unit.html
