Nothing isprearranged or “sugar coated.” The intern accompanies their physician everywhere – on rounds, in patient consultations, and even into the operating room.Our goal is to give the interns a real day in the life of a physician with all itsintensity, drama and complexity. It is an opportunity not only to demonstratethe expertise of our physicians and staff, but also their humanity. The WhiteCoat Program was held three times in 2003 with a total of fifty interns completingthe program. Since the program began at the hospital in the spring of 2000,126 interns have completed the program.Kathy Castor spends time at Genesis withCatherine Lynch, M.D. during the White Coat Program.2003 SPECIAL EQUIPMENTTechnology is vital to how we are able to treat and care for patients. Technologicaladvancements in equipment are changing how medical students are taught, howdiseases can be diagnosed and how patients are treated.In 2003, Foundation funds enabled the hospital to purchase two highly specializedpieces of equipment, the MIST-4 Virtual Reality Simulator and the Fluorescent In SituHybridization Microscope. These pieces of equipment will enhance clinical staff’sability to diagnose and treat patients.left photo: Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH)Microscope -- this technology detects changes andabnormalities at the cell DNA level. right photo: MIST-4Virtual Reality Simulator enhances the training availableat TGH to surgical residents.IV
