A Letter From the EditorHappy Holidays! As 2018 comes to a close, I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on the joy of community. The Mix, Mingle and Jingle was a smashing success, thanks to the wonderful partnership between the Cumberland Pediatric Foundation and its member Pediatricians from Vanderbilt and throughout Middle Tennessee. This year, over 315 of us gathered at the Pinewood Social with representatives from 17 community practices! This is a highlight for us all as we shared the evening building relationships that will last for years to come. I hope you enjoy the new format of the Newsletter and look forward to your feedback via the short survey at the end. Here is to a prosperous and healthy 2019 for you all!
Cheers, Kris Rehm

| At stake is nothing less than the 'joy of work' that clinicians bring to their patients — joy that is inextricably linked to emotional well-being, and the satisfaction we experience from careers dedicated to caring for patients.

| URM GatheringSponsored by the Pediatric Office of Faculty Development and Children's Hospital Office of Inclusion and Health Equity, this event is held each year as a way for URM faculty, fellows and residents to meet and get to know one another. For the past 2 years, the event has been held the evening before URM residency interviews so candidates can also attend. "The event is always engaging and a great opportunity for residents, fellows, faculty and department leaders to connect in an informal setting," said Kecia Carroll, MD, associate professor in General Pediatrics.

| Vanderbilt internship '87, '88 reunionThe Vanderbilt Pediatric intern classes of 1987 and 1988 met for a combined reunion Nov. 16-18. The event was described as a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends and renew the bonds forged during residency. "The weekend took me back to my days in the Navy" said an attendee. "Our residency classes are a Band of Brothers. Far closer than mere friends.” Another attendee said, "My memories that had long been forgotten came flooding back and served to remind me how blessed I was to train at such an amazing institution, and more importantly, with such an awesome group of people." Thanks to all who helped put this event together!
