Guest speaker(s): Dr. Robert Mevorach, a full-time Pediatric Urological Surgeon at the University of South Alabama, has 32 years of experience caring for kids through academic, community-based, armed forces, foundation, and volunteer settings. Dr. M warrants recognition as the first non-science major to be accepted into medical school from the University of Binghamton and the entire SUNY system.

Your mobile emergency response unit is being deployed to a series of escalating medical emergencies. Your team starts the day with a full complement of medical skills/competencies. However, at each stop, you'll need to vote one skill/competency off the bus in order to make room for each patient you encounter. Work with your peers in breakout groups to decide which medical skills/competencies are most important, save your patients, and survive the day, all the while discovering that medicine is a team sport that requires high awareness of all your teammates' skills.

Guest speaker(s): Hollie Dunivan, RN, Care Coordinator at Life Path Hospice

By 2034, older adults are projected to outnumber younger adults for the first time in U.S. history. This shift has significant implications on the future of medicine and treatment options for caregivers and health services. Join Hollie Dunivan, RN as she discusses end-of-life care and how the medical field is preparing for baby boomers now and in the future.

How do social determinants of health influence a patient's experience? In this mentor-led session, discuss how Mr. Carter's journey, from symptoms to diagnosis to treatment, may have been affected by his gender, race, or socio-economic status. What does that mean for healthcare providers and the long-term impact on patients' overall health?

In this interactive session, you and your peers will tackle a case study and apply what you've learned so far in the course to a real world example from a different field of medicine. In small groups, you'll delve into a new patient presentation, come up with a plan, and have the opportunity to present back to the larger group.

Guest speaker(s): Lexie Peedin, MD, Assistant Professor at Jefferson University specializing in Anatomic Pathology, Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine, and Surgical Pathology.

In this session, you'll learn about the role of post-mortem examination in patient care. Understand the goals and scope of both hospital-based and forensic autopsies, including the responsibilities of physicians when an autopsy is requested or required, and cover the training requirements for physicians who practice forensic pathology.
