Sals Star of the Week: Anita Maric (introduced by Sarah Gilchrist)
This week we celebrate Anita Maric for her leadership in navigating our teams through accreditation amongst a challenging time. Anita was able to formulate and synthesize ROP’s , standards, previous unmet criteria in a functional way to allow our already overwhelmed staff to shine during accreditation. She was also able to provide additional opportunity for us to highlight the excellent work that has been done outside of the standards shining a light on CSP passion for innovation (virtual clinic, digital health collaborations, tech advances). Her empathic yet forward moving approach to accreditation is much appreciated and recognized by leaders and staff.
With this issue we will be introducing Program Highlights as a recurring feature of the Rumbles, highlighting the many initiatives that comprise Cardiac Sciences MB- clinically, scholarly and educationally. This week we will kick off with a Program Highlight of our Adult Congenital Heart Program. We encourage submissions (with pictures) from across the Cardiac Sciences community
