What an amazing turnout for Premed Day this year!! We had a packed house!
High school and college students from across the state came to get a glimpse of medical school, received hands on experience with several procedures, and got to hear from current medical students and one of our rheumatologists, Dr. Umer! This group is going to do great things!
Shoutout to for a wonderful weekend

¡Hola from Roatán, Honduras!
As soon as SHIP members learned we could not travel to Kenya this year, we jumped into action to plan another trip! Now, a group of 4th year medical students, residents, and attendings are currently spending 2 weeks treating patients in the underserved communities of Honduras.
We are grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to see our relationship with the people of Roatán flourish!
