Special Guest Speaker - Dr. Jeff Croke - New night!

As I mentioned in class, I am thrilled that Dr. Jeff Croke will once again come in to speak to our class.

As you can see, Jeff is a highly accomplished physician AND ski patrolman.  Jeff has prepared some remarks for us, and then will take questions.  

As I also mentioned in class, Jeff will speak this Thursday, Oct. 6.  Mike Nealon and Jimmy Rios will present their Chest Trauma, Auscultation session on Oct 13.  I have updated the syllabus accordingly.

And finally, as we discussed, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and get truly insightful answers.  We've had excellent discussions in past years and look forward to another engaging session Thursday.  Get your questions ready!

More on Jeff, including video, here.
