2/4/2008 - Liftoff! ...guest presenter Sara Kim (ISIS)

We had a great turnout (35 people!) for our first forum last Monday.

After group intros, we reviewed the structure of the forum, established some ground-rules, and conducted a 'needs assessment' of the group (click here).

Sara Kim from the Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation (ISIS) - http://www.isis.washington.edu/ - gave a dynamic presentation of medical education & research activities ongoing for their team, as well as faculty opportunities and research support. Q&A and discussion followed. Thanks, Sara!



Thanks to everyone who helped make our first forum a success, including Tom Norris, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs in the School of Medicine, for providing lunch. See you all at the next meeting on Monday 3/3/2008 (note location change).
