Heather Kowalski of The University of Iowa joins the show to discuss her recent JPOSNA publications on resident education through state-of-the-art simulation and her efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in our field. She “stirs the pot” on a variety of controversial topics in pediatric trauma and limb length inequality. Your hosts are Josh Holt from University of Iowa, Carter Clement from Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, and Julia Sanders from Children’s Hospital Colorado. Music by A.A. Aalto.
