We had yet another successful day of teaching at academic day. This was our most ambitious day yet and included sessions on neurophysiology, a resident case presentation, Anesthesia Non-technical Skills, an airway workshop, and a session on hypertensive emergencies. Dr. Paulin joined us for the afternoon teaching and did an incredible job teaching the residents about hypertensive emergencies. He also reviewed how to take a history on functional status with the residents and reminded them how to tailor their questions, such as not asking if a patient can climb stairs without getting chest pain if they're from a place with no stairs! The residents continue to be so keen and enthusiastic at academic day and we're encouraged by how much reading and preparation they're doing.

Lauren and I are still recovering from our 9 hour gorilla trek, 9 hours!!! We did end up seeing the Susa group and had such an incredible experience spending time with over 15 gorillas! One even took a liking to me and was posing for the camera. This week we head back to Butare again for more resident teaching and we're also holding journal club this week as well as M and M rounds, busy busy busy!!!
More news to come in the near future!
