Our third 2014 session for the Telluride Patient Safety Summer Camps is kicking off this morning with student introductions and safety moments. We have another impressive group of future patient safety leaders gathering to increase the growing size of our own Dumbledore’s Army of sorts. Many have been chosen to participate because of academic success and leadership, and a passion for patient safety, but the extracurricular talents never cease to amaze and impress. We have with us:
- A concert pianist
- A philosopher athlete
- A landscape/home improvement aficianado
- Binge Netflix watchers
- Musicians
- A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation intern
- A Classical guitarist
- Scientists
- Public health researchers
- An ICU nurse/ED nursing manager
- Georgetown medical students
- Scuba/kayaking guides/fans
- Biomedical scientists
- An International basketball player
- An Irish dancer
- An MBA/MPH graduate
- A key/Lock collector
- A Neurobiology major
- A Human factors researcher
- Peace corps in Kenya
The group that has come to Turf Valley this week originates from all over the world–Vietnam, Bulgaria, Canada, Baltimore, DC, Missouri, Chicago, New York, California, Atlanta, Pennsylvania, and more. They come together with a common purpose and have chosen to participate in an extra week of training in patient safety when their busy schedule would call for a week on a beach relaxing somewhere. We are so glad they’re here!
