February 7
Yesterday was our first day off. Most of us went to the soda to watch the Superbowl and relax. Today included about 10 hours of class time, including more map and compass, pharmacology, pathophysiology and respiratory emergencies. Tomorrow includes cardiac emergencies, altered level of consciousness, instruction in emergency shelter construction and introductions to GPS, with the afternoon of scenarios down at the river. Aerie's Medical Director, Dr. Greg Moore, leaves Missoula on the 10th to meet us in Mastatal. He will lead a full day of house calls on the 11th and head up the clinic on the 12th. Students will be visiting houses, talking to and assessing dozens of local residents during Greg's visit. The pictures are of an emerging cicada at night and map and compass review.
