A big shoutout goes to EM Vice Chair of Education, Hilary Fairbrother, MD, MPH along with PGY1s Mahmoud Yousef & Altamish Daredia, for leading this hands-on experience.

These bright students, typically sophomores or juniors in college from all over the US, are here at McGovern to develop essential competencies for becoming successful applicants to health profession programs, plan their academic journeys, gain clinical exposure, and network with professionals.

During our workshop, the students received valuable hands-on experience and had a fun-filled day of learning. We’d like to extend our gratitude to our friends at the SIM Center for always lending a hand, and to our dedicated Faculty & Residents who assisted with shadowing shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thank you all, and we look forward to welcoming next summer’s students!
