In our first episode of 2018, we talk with several of our trauma surgeons at Denver's oldest level one trauma center Denver Health. Our discussion explored how county hospitals contribute to general surgery residency training and the important roles hospitals such as Denver Health fulfill in our urban communities. We also answer a question about choosing medical schools. As always you can email us your questions at [email protected] or contact us on twitter at @rmspod, @jmsamuelsmd, or @ahalpernunc.
