Letter from Dr. Bahner
As an advisor, I am so proud of all the OSU students that participate in the Ultrasound Interest Group and the Ultrasound Research Interest Group. The past year has seen a lot of students lead, serve and inspire! For example multiple students participated in the 2 Ultrafest last year in February and October 2017. Hosting these regional event for students from medical school, college and high school was a great time to learn how to use ultrasound and make new connections.
The students from USIG participated this past year in AIUM’s national convention and won the Sonoslam medical student event in 2017 becoming back to back winners from 2016 NY and 2017 Orlando. Can the OSU team win back to back to back in 2018 in New York City? We will see on March 24, 2018!
The 2017 WCUME event was in Montreal and OSU medical students and residents represented across the border with our colleagues north of the great lakes. The 2018 WCUME Ultrasound world cup will be held in Winston Salem in 2018 and it is my hope that OSU could field a team this year and reclaim this ultrasound world cup from the 2017 winning team of Iran!
The state of our Ultrasound Program at OSU is strong! I know we can do better and it is my hope to brand 2018 the Year of SOLUTIONS. Our teams at the medical student, faculty, fellow and resident levels are constantly changing, however the camaraderie, collaborations, and respect for each other helps us continue to achieve our goals.
Ohio State students continue to be the exemplars in the medical student ultrasound arena. I hope we can continue to lead in 2018.
Sincerely,
David P. Bahner M.D.
