Special Guest Speaker This Thursday

As I mentioned in class, I am thrilled that Dr. Jeff Croke will be our guest speaker Thursday, Oct 11.  

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.  

Give some thought to questions you'd like to ask e.g. What the docs in the first aid/clinics want to hear from patrollers delivering patients from the field, key things patrollers can do in the field to improve patient care, etc.
