E06 - Dr. Ethan Fried (Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine at Lennox Hill Hospital)

Dr. Ethan Fried opens the APDIM Chief Residents Meeting every year and has done so for the past 11 years. His Plenary Session introduces the "Life Cycle of a Chief Resident" and he is faced with the responsibility of exciting over 800 Chief Residents from the medical field about their upcoming milestone in their career. Dr. Ethan Fried currently serves as the Program Director for the Chief's Residents program at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine at Lennox Hill Hospital. Beyond teaching and presenting lectures to large audiences, his creativity comes into play amongst every student - or learner - along with all patients that he or his learners must treat. We discuss communication, sensitivity, and establishing trust… meanwhile I break that trust embarrassing him during "Name That Sample".
