Interested in getting OR experience??

Well lucky for you, we're having a Summer Surgery Panel tomorrow, the 21st, in GA 2/4!

M2s on the panel will describe their experiences in the OR last summer and can answer questions for any M1s who are interested in similar experiences.

Thanks to everyone who came to our TSIG Panel tonight! And a special thanks to our panelists: Dr. Sava, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Beyene. They were very honest and open, providing amazing insight into the field of trauma surgery and were great at engaging us along the way. We had our laughs - during the anecdote of the trauma surgeons who try to work in the phrase "just the tip" when describing certain procedures - and we had our cries (lucky for us, our photographer was great at capturing JUST the cries!)

We hope everyone had a positive experience and look forward to seeing you all at future events!

A quick video interview of Dr. Jack Sava, Director of Trauma at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, who will be gracing us with his presence at the panel at 5pm today!

Don't forget, we (along with EMIG and the Benjamin Rush Institute) are screening Code Black tomorrow (Nov. 5) at 6pm in GA 2/4! According to the reviews, it'll be action-packed, thought-provoking, awe-inspiring and many, many more hyphenated adjectives! If you haven't already, take a quick look at the trailer below, it's awesome.

And if that's not enough (which it definitely should be) there will be popcorn and soda too!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our FAST Ultrasound Workshop today, co-sponsored with EMIG! We had a blast seeing everyone and we hope you enjoyed the educational and very "hands-on" presentation given by Dr. Kheradi, the Chief Emergency Medicine Resident at GUMC. We hope to see you all at our future events, which will be posted here!
