    Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine InSightFebruary 2020 Cleveland UltraFest 2020 Reinforces Ultrasound’s Impact on Medicine After a successful first year, Cleveland UltraFest came back bigger and better with a full day of ultrasound scanning experience for medical students from four Ohio medical colleges. continued >> Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine | 1 | InSight UltraFest 2020 continued Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine | 2 | InSight UltraFest 2020 continued About 40 medical students, 24 staff and post-graduate faculty, and 12 high school and undergraduate college students from central and Northeast Ohio medical schools descended on the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion at the Health Education Campus (HEC) on Jan. 25 to participate in Cleveland UltraFest 2020, a comprehensive point-of-care ultrasound workshop hosted by the Ultrasound Student Interest Groups (USIG) from the University and College programs of the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Jacob Enders (’23), a CCLCM student lead, says the goal of UltraFest was to provide medical students with point-of-care ultrasound experiences, an emerging care paradigm involving the use of ultrasound at the bedside for rapid clinical decision-making, triaging and treatment. “This goal was achieved when an attendant at the MSK station expressed to me – almost in a moment of relief – that he now understands what the carpal tunnel is and why it’s so easy to have a pressure buildup there,” says CCLCM student co-lead Derrick Obiri-Yeboah (‘24). Having recognized the relatively restricted space of the tendons and nerve in carpel tunnel of the wrist during the scan of a model helped him understand how carpal tunnel syndrome develops.

  • Campus Master Plan
    CAMPUS MASTER PLAN CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 1 2 MASTER PLAN UMC-3318-2_2018 A Call to Action As higher education evolves, Case Western Reserve University must adapt to remain competitive. This adaptation must include long-term, sustainable strategies for growth. Partnerships such as the collaboration with Cleveland Clinic on the Health Education Campus (HEC) and innovation investments such as the Larry Sears and Sally Zlotnick Sears think[box] will help shape CWRU’s future. This Campus Master Plan builds on the long legacy of campus planning at CWRU and helps frame the continued success of the university. For this reason, the Campus Master Plan identifies profound and resourceful ways to elevate space quality and functionality. Recommendations include a series of catalytic projects, the formation of a design review board, policy recommendations and detailed building use strategies. Implementing this plan will strengthen the university and its neighbors alike. CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 3 The Campus Master Plan It’s fashionable to think that campuses don’t matter anymore, that digital technology and remote learning have made buildings, commons, residence halls and libraries obsolete. Not true. Campus buildings, from residence halls to stadiums and labs, and physical features such as common areas, quads and walkways, are essential to learning, collaboration and the random encounters that make higher education so valuable. That’s why Case Western Reserve creates a Campus Master Plan every 10 years. The design and use of land and buildings are too important to be allowed to develop without careful thought and planning. Though it represents the consensus best thinking about the university’s future needs and goals, the plan is not a binding document, but rather a flexible No first-year student orientation would be complete without the spelling guide for the university.
