Residents shine at Discovery Day 2019!

Drs Khurana, Entz and Crawford presenting at Discovery Day

On Wednesday, October 16th, our resident and staff volunteers participated in the annual, faculty-wide event, known as Discovery Day in Health Sciences.

Discovery Day is organized by the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and hosted by the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. This event features workshops and simulations from both clinical and research departments at the university and are designed to inform and intrigue local high school students and teachers about the wide variety of career options in the health sciences.

Our anesthesiologists provided the students with interactive, hands-on experiences to help them imagine the skills, roles and responsibilities essential in practicing anesthesiology. Students were led through dynamic workshops, including a mock OR complete with patient mannequin and anesthesia machine. Separately, there were airway and fiber-optic bronchoscopy simulations, as well as TTE and ultrasound guided needle placement stations.
