Default MedZero

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of the class of 2014 students were planning to go to the MedZero event.

Thanks.

I'm debating it... It sounds like tons of fun, but I am already shadowing a GP July 18-22, and I think I'd like to spend my last few days before school with family and my partner.

BUT... learning suturing and casting would be so fun!!

I'm thinking I would like to at least go to part of it.

Me too. I want to go, I just have to see if I'll be able to afford the time.

I'm torn. I want to got to learn some fun stuff and meet some people (free food too), but I also want to enjoy my last few days being as lazy as possible.

I'll probably go to SOME of it.

Default Med.Zero

Hi,

I'm Dr. David Keegan, the lead faculty member for medzero.

We'll be posting an agenda soon to our website (medzero.ca).

So far 102 of your soon-to-be classmates have signed up!

Bottom line:

Monday - breakfast - casting - lunch - suturing - supper
Tuesday - breakfast - advanced suturing & punch biopsy - boxed lunch - done!

Hope to see you there -

Any questions? email medzero@ucalgary.ca.

Take it easy,

DKeegan

Default wow - med.zero confirmed students: 127

Wow,

I'm not sure if it had anything to do with my post last night saying 102 of you had signed up, but we're up to 127 by the end of today!

Don't worry, we've got our plans long in place to handle the full class, so even if we have more students signing up, you will all get great food, great exposure, great casting, suturing, and biopsying!
