Join us for our annual Kayak With A Doc, an easy evening guided float on Lake Springfield, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 19. Our Springfield Walk With A Doc (WWAD) chapter and the Park Board Outdoor Initiatives staff will share paddling tips and talk about the health benefits of being active outside. Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are included. Meet at the main boat ramp by the blue tarp.

This event is free and open to the public. All CoxHealth employees, family, and friends are welcome, ages eight and up. Those between the ages of eight and 17 can attend with an adult.

Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets have limited availability so registration is required if you need to reserve one of those items. We'll put the registration link in the comments. No registration is necessary if you bring your own kayaks, paddles, and life jackets.

Participants may also receive free Walk With A Doc T-shirts, available in sizes XS-2XL in green or blue.

We are excited to share that Dr. Ally Elder will serve as R2 chief in the next academic year and continue on the chief team for her R3 year! We are thankful for her willingness to serve the residents and program. This new chief position will serve as the primary resident leader for recruitment and serve as the R2 representative to program leadership, while allowing more overlapping time in understanding responsibilities and continuity of leadership. Congratulations, Dr. Elder!

Final Meaning in Medicine with the class of 2026! There was pickleball, food, and overflowing appreciation for the contributions this group has made in their three years here! Our residency is better because of them, and we are so proud of them! Happy graduation month! (P.S. We were happy to have Dr. Hahn join and help complete our group photo!) - Lindsay

Faculty/Chiefs Retreat 2026 is in the books! Special thanks to Dr. Lance Coffman and the Missouri SBDC at Missouri State University for an amazing Lego Serious Play workshop in the morning (in the CoxHealth Innovation Room)! What a unique and fun way to spend time team-building, celebrating the way each of us individually contribute to the important work of training and preparing our amazing residents, and thinking about how we can "level up" even further! Thank you, Lindsay, for planning this incredible event!

Last Friday was our Scholastic Consortium, where the class of 2026 presented the scholarship projects that they have been working on throughout their residency training. Thank you to everyone who came to see their posters and hear all about their research!
