Kids Medical School Day

Med School Day for Kids – Volunteers Needed! 🩺💙 Join the Pediatric Interest Group for Med School Day for Kids, a fun, hands-on event designed to bring medicine to life for 100+ local kids! We’re looking for medical student volunteers to help run interactive anatomy and physiology stations, giving kids the chance to explore the human body, learn about medicine, and experience what it’s like to be a medical student for the day. No preparation or teaching experience is required — all materials and instructions will be provided! This is a great opportunity to connect with our local community, inspire future healthcare professionals, and earn volunteer hours while having some fun along the way.

Tropical Medicine Surgical Cases

Join us to learn about different tropical medicine surgical cases, including pediatric acute abdominal pain differentials, osteomyelitis, and necrotizing fasciitis. Abstract: Acute surgical conditions in tropical or low-resource settings may differ significantly from high resource ones. Unique risk factors may include malnutrition, exposure to water- or food-borne infectious agents, and traumatic injuries. The three cardinal surgical skills generally expected of such surgeons include management of acute peritonitis, cesarean section, and long bone fracture. Other strikingly common surgical diseases requiring surgical intervention include osteomyelitis and necrotizing fasciitis.
