Aurora Health Care Undergraduate Medical Education

Hurray for no more creaky skywalk!!

FYI!

It's not all hard work for our medical students - they also get to have fun too! Here is one of our fantastic Pediatricians and one of our 3rd year Des Moines University students having fun on Halloween! We wonder what our pediatric patients thought of the barnyard fun?!

Please see the notification from the desk of Chris Kukec, Manager-Public Safety (Sinai).

✨Happy Holidays from UME!!

Wishing you peace, love, and joy this holiday season and a happy new year! ✨

Your words matter, and can have a profound impact on a patient's feeling of trust and safety in your care. Here's a brief, feel-good story about how one surgeon did just that:

'Today, your son is my son': A doctor's words offer comfort before surgery Before Calvin Lowe's young son went in for a major operation, his doctor shared a comforting message.

Do you need extra support on your public health projects? The Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program is welcoming a new group of medical students in January who will live, work, and serve in Milwaukee. We are looking for Milwaukee-based projects for students to serve for 2-3 afternoons per month for 2.5 years. Project proposals are due Nov 17. The link to the proposal is below.

Cheesy joke incoming...
I strongly recommend against stitching up your own wounds.
But if you insist, suture self!

We all are living in such uncertain times. What is certain: your decision to pursue a career in medicine was a good one. Learning to be a good clinician and a good friend, neighbor, citizen can be stressful. With the first weekend of Summerfest upon us I wanted to remind you to have some fun too.
