Open Source Medicine recently hosted a lecture from Dr. Brad Walters, Emergency Medicine Physician at Beaumont Hospital. Dr. Walters has an interest in the history of Emergency Medicine, and presented an excellent lunch lecture on the treatment of patients injured during the Civil War, especially those needing emergency surgeries and amputations. Special thanks to Dr. Walters for taking time out of his schedule to present to us, and to Daniel Overbeek, Eleni Papalekas and Philip Shaheen for working to set up this lecture.
Stay tuned for more History of Medicine lectures coming in the near future!

At the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) conference in November 2012, My Health Report (MHR) was once again put on display and met with great enthusiasm from schools across the Country. As a student-drive patient initiative, MHR sparked the AAMC with ideas on how to improve health screening and patient education. In addition, schools across the country now have full-access to our free product. Stay tuned for more on MHR as we move to a national patient education model!

written by Allison Zarbo on September 1st, 2012 § Comments Off § permalink
Eighteen M1s volunteered at Project Healthy Living’s August Health Fair at Motor City Java House in Detroit on Friday, August 31st. Merely days after their first exams, it made the last month of studying worth it. The medical students manned the booths at the health fair, including registration, the height and weight station, the vision station, blood pressure, My Health Report, and My Health Cafe, a new addition to Project Healthy Living’s health fairs centered on My Health Report. Cafe tables with health snacks and refreshments awaited patients who had questions about their health. Medical students used My Health Report to counsel patients on the significance of their values they obtained and how to improve blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose levels, and smoking.
