    Third Year Rotation Information and Affiliates Guide 2020-2021 Foreword As Phase 1 of medical school are nearing an end, we can look forward to putting our knowledge and skills to use in the clinical setting. This experience is an exciting time which will give us further insight into our interests and final career decisions. While the core rotations are the same for all of us, each of the sites is distinctive in its own way. We have many options available to us, ranging from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers. As such, we will each have a unique set of clinical experiences from which to draw on for the rest of our careers. This guide was created to provide information about each affiliate hospital and the various rotations they offer. We have tried to make this as helpful and complete as possible. Please keep in mind that while every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, this guide is not the final word. The Office of the Registrar will provide the official information regarding locations available for each clerkship. We hope the information in this guide will help you select rotation sites to fit your own goals. We wish you all the best of luck next year!

  • Christiana Care's Trauma Leaders Will Host “Mocktail” Event To
    Immediate Release Contact: Hiran Ratnayake (302) 327-3327 [email protected] Christiana Care’s Trauma Leaders Will Host “Mocktail” Event to Encourage Safe Choices during the Holiday Season Visitors will learn how to make Mocktail Drinks and how difficult Impaired Movement is by Wearing “Drunk Goggles” (WILMINGTON, Del. – Dec. 15, 2017) Christiana Care Health System’s Trauma Program will host a holiday “Mocktail” on Tuesday, Dec. 19th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Overlook Café at Wilmington Hospital. With the surge in parties – and increased alcohol consumption – during the holiday season, Christiana Care created the annual “Mocktail” as a fun way to remind people about the dangers of drunk driving. During December of last year, 781 people died in drunk driving crashes, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is the federal agency responsible for motor vehicle and highway transportation safety standards and regulations. “The holiday season is a time when we all look forward to getting together with loved ones, but it’s also when we should stay fully aware of the consequences of drunk driving,” said Jaime Cesar Giraldo Arango, M.D., medical director of Christiana Care’s Wilmington Hospital Trauma Program. “We hope our annual Mocktails encourage people to make safe choices during this time of year so we can save more lives from this very preventable problem.” The event features Mocktail (non-alcoholic drink) recipes and a “Driving Simulator” machine in which users can experience the consequences of impaired driving. Click to view sample video In addition, City of Wilmington Police will be at the event to assist with special glasses known as “Drunk Goggles” that help users experience how difficult it is to travel while intoxicated.
