All FM residents have now been reassigned for block 4 rotations. Early next week, Linda and I will begin working on block 5 assignments. We hope to begin bringing a few people back to the Galveston/Houston area. Primarily, this will be residents whose housing is habitable and on the mainland.
Generally speaking, recovery efforts on the island appear to running ahead of schedule, which is good news. I encourage you to keep up to date on the progress at the UTMB website, the Galveston Daily News, Channel 2 and KHOU. These are the most extensive coverage sites I have located and the ones I am personally following daily.
At present, it looks like we have about 6 to 8 residents whose housing on the island is definitely or likely not habitable upon return to the island. These will be the folks who are on displaced rotations longest. The Chiefs are busy compiling a list of residents and faculty who have space in their homes for temporary housing and we will coordinate that as it becomes feasible to bring people back to the local area.
All things considered, I'm feeling optimistic about recovery for the Family Medicine Program.
