Navy Doc Voted Best Resident of 2009
By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jessica Pounds
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (NNS) -- The Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) selected a doctor from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) as the best resident of the year.
Lt. Cmdr. Lanny Littlejohn accepted the 2009 CORD Resident Academic Achievement Award in New Orleans.
Selected from nominees from more than 140 programs across the country, the award recognizes an emergency medicine resident who has demonstrated great potential as a future academic faculty member. Qualities that were evaluated include academic productivity, commitment to teaching and service to the program.
"Dr. Littlejohn has established a superb track record of accomplishment, leadership and education and was most worthy of this profound honor," said Capt. James Ritchie, emergency medicine residency director at NMCP, who nominated Littlejohn for the award.
Littlejohn's extensive work has already directly affected lifesaving technologies and training used on the battlefield and in the United States. After his arrival in residency, he contributed to a new study: Comparison of Three Hemostatic Agents; Chitoflex, Celox and QuickClot. Despite being the junior member of the multi-person research team, his contributions earned author status. This study was presented at several regional and national meetings and won the McDade Award for best emergency medicine resident research in Virginia.
He immersed himself in the Trauma Combat Care Course (TCCC) and ultimately became the course director. In this position, he taught 13 classes, preparing more than 250 corpsmen for deployment to Afghanistan and Iraq. Further, he developed the TCCC Instructor Course, the first on the East Coast. Because of his innovations, his staff is rewriting the TCCC training course structure for the entire Navy and Marine Corps.
Littlejohn says he is grateful for the award and the recognition it shines on military medicine.
"I felt honored that a national emergency medicine residency award, voted on by residency directors across the country who were primarily civilian, would go to someone so heavily involved in military emergency medicine," said Littlejohn. "It is a great sign that so many people respect what we do on a daily basis, not just in medicine, but throughout the military. It was also a great credit to the residency class that I was involved in; I can't think of a single project that was not furthered by the help of my colleagues. They truly put me on their shoulders to win this award."
Littlejohn maintains an outstanding collection of knowledge in emergency medicine, scoring 94th percentile on his in-training exam. He was elected by all NMCP residents to serve on the Command Quality Committee, and in a field of more than 250 trainees, he was named Officer in Training of the Quarter.
A native of Spartanburg, S.C., Littlejohn currently works in NMCP's Emergency Department.
