Winding down

Outstanding. Simply an outstanding effort by the graduate students for their efforts over the last several days. I have tried to load videos and pictures but it seems the wireless portal where the clinic is located is not fast enough to support the uploads. Once we are home, I will update this site with pictures and videos. However, on this last afternoon our our clinic I am pleased and impressed with the efforts of each member of our team. It is rewarding to hear the comments from observers who mention the way the students eagerly accept the responsibility for any patient, no matter how complex, and the professional, confident manner in which they evaluate the case.

Tomorrow we will meet with all of the patients or their families to discuss the candiates for the virtual clinic. Tomorrow is a predictor of our success; it is also a time to reflect on the future. The future of some of our cases will be determined, but the future of these 21 graduate students is secure. They will be valuable, capable professionals. It has been a pleasure to work with them.
