Last weekend, we had the privilege of participating in the 4th Annual Bridging the Gaps Outreach Day!

Thanks to the incredible leadership of Dr. Abdoulie Njai, we welcomed 100+ middle and high school students to MOI for splinting, arthroscopy, and sawbones labs, along with great faculty talks. We love BTG!
