And closing out our Wilderness Medicine week, we practiced all of the skills we learned with a couple scenarios! From vernal pools to make-shift splints, we LITTER-ally rescued some friends from a couple STICK-y situations 🏕️

Up next on the docket for Wilderness Medicine week: practicing bleeding management! We reviewed the basics and participated in different scenarios. Thank you to one of our MAs, Sarah, for letting us work on her! 🩸💉🏥

Every quarter, we have what is called Resident Development Week: a week filled with lectures, learning, and even some field trips 😉 This past week was one of them, and it was Wilderness Medicine themed! 🐻🔥🏕️

On Wednesday, our residents and faculty got to learn about water rescue and put their skills to the test while six of our own suited up. Thank you to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff Department Dive Team for volunteering their time!!

Stay tuned for more fun from our week 👀

Warm weather + local coffee within walking distance of the hospital = weekend crew coffee run ☕️☀️

Resident Retreat 2026 🔥🐢🌅🐸
Our retreat was filled with beautiful weather, great views, tons of food, and so much laughter. Thank you to our co-chief resident, Haley, for planning our getaway, and a huge thank you to Dr. Ward and Dr. Yax for covering our inpatient service so we could be together!!

Some of our residents spent the day in East Lansing practicing their POCUS skills! If you have an MSK complaint, hit us up 👀

Just a bunch of kids who would be in awe of their adult selves 🤩 can you recognize these faces?
