I am a PGY-3 Internal Medicine resident currently applying in the field of Cardiology. When I began residency I was interested in Pulmonary Critical Care which stemmed involvement in this Quality Improvement project alongside my chief resident Dr. Sophia Panaccione whom proposed the project, the Infectious Disease team with Dr. Fredy Chaparro-Rojas and the Infection Prevention team. This project strove to standardize the diagnosis of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in the intensive care unit to promote antimicrobial stewardship and reduce the number of invasive urinary catheter days.
