🎃✂️ The General Surgery Interest Group at WSU’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine got creative with their hands-on learning last month!

Their Spooky Suture Clinic gave first- and second-year medical students the chance to practice different suture techniques by stitching “Frankenstein Fruits” 🍌🩹, lime patches on bananas, and more!

Vice Chair for Surgery Dr. Anjali Kumar joined to share her expertise on suture types and their real-world applications.

P.S. no limes or bananas were hurt in this activity.

🏅 From medical school to the finish line — literally.

Last month, Erik B. Philipson, a second-year medical student at the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, presented two research abstracts at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, then wrapped up the week by completing an IRONMAN triathlon in California!

His research focused on disparities in recovery and academic accommodations for students after traumatic brain injuries (TBI). His second presentation compared student versus parent-reported outcomes following a TBI among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adolescents. 🧠

After briefly returning to Spokane for an exam midweek, Erik crossed the IRONMAN finish line in 10 hours and 19 minutes, placing in the top 15%.🏃

👏 Congratulations, Erik, on representing WSU Medicine with excellence, in the classroom, the lab, and on the course!

Diana Pham, a MS Speech and Hearing Sciences student, knows firsthand the power of effective communication, and what it feels like to struggle with it.

Growing up in Richland, Washington and speaking Vietnamese as her main language at home, she received English as a second language (ESL) services in elementary school, where her provider became a source of joy and confidence.

Because of donors like you, Diana is helping Washington children overcome communication challenges and find their voice, just like she did. Your gift today helps students like Diana become the speech and hearing professionals Washington needs.

Medicine Multiplied – One scholarship. One future doctor. Thousands of lives touched.👩‍⚕️❤️
