Achievement Unlocked: Skills Night Success!

On March 19, tMED put on our first ever skills night with the help of the Aboriginal, Rural, and Remote Health Group (ARRHG). We had students from several different colleges, including Medicine, Nursing, Engineering, and Arts & Sciences. Our night started off with a tour of the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, followed by a supper of stew and bannock back in Health Sciences, catered by the Bannock Bistro. We then divided into three groups, and alternated between stations featuring some medical examination technology courtesy of Schaan Healthcare Products, an ultrasound simulator and laparoscopic and arthroscopic simulators courtesy of the College of Medicine, and an introduction to remote presence devices in the healthcare setting thanks to InTouch Health. I wanted to sincerely thank everyone that helped out to make this night a great success, to everyone that came out that made this event possible, and I look forward to another skills night next year!!
