Fall Symposium Plays to a Packed House

NHMI's 15th Annual Symposium took place on Saturday, September 13 in Bedford, New Hampshire. All the talks were well received but attendees were especially excited and challenged by NHMI Advisory Board member Bill Dexter's talk, "Red Flags for Medical Referral: Don't Miss Signs of Tumors, Aortic Pathology, DVTs, or Infections in Your Patients." Dr. Dexter reviewed his own cases, sometimes noting where he had missed signs that might have led him to a proper diagnosis sooner, to educate the crowd. Thanks to all of our speakers (Andy Chen, Irene Davis, Dain LaRoche, Dan O'Neill, Jim Vailas and Ge Wu) for putting on a stellar program. Looking forward to our 16th on September 12, 2009. See you then!

9th Annual Orthopedic Winter Meeting

Register early for January, 2009

Brochures will soon be in the mail and online info is up and ready now. Remember, your registration fee includes your room and the CME activity -- considering that the fee barely covers the room at this great resort, this is an outstanding bargain. Our sponsors make that low fee possible and they will be glad to receive your thanks during exhibit hours. Early-bird registrants save $100 …….. be sure to register as early as possible. This meeting was sold out by the early-bird deadline last year!

Athletic Training Fellowship Heads for the Next Level

NHMI has embarked on a project to formalize and structure a curriculum associated with rotation content. Another focus of the Fellowship -- research -- is also receiving attention. Pamela J. Russell, PhD, a longtime member of NHMI's Advisory Board and Research Committee, is using her sabbatical from Bridgewater (MA) State College to serve as a consultant to develop this program. The program will be hosted online on the Blackboard Academic Suite and fellows will complete learning and assessment activities throughout their year here. This year’s fellows, Dawn Schisler, MEd ATC and Sarah Philipp, ATC, are making significant contributions to the design and content of the new program. Ultimately the Fellowship faculty and Fellowship alumni will be able to participate in course-related discussion boards and will serve as additional resources for each year's current fellows.
