Silence in the Midst of Chaos featuring Mike Russell, SOM Class of 2018
- Date: Wednesday, February 15
- Time: noon
- Location: ACB 110
During a gap year between his second and third years of medical school, Mike Russell completed a Masters in Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in global medical education. During this year, Mike had the opportunity to traverse the globe, completing medical rotations in Kenya, Nicaragua, and India. In addition to experiencing global medical education in these diverse international settings, Mike was able to observe the differing cultural practices surrounding death and dying. His experiences in this realm became the basis for his Medical Ethics and Humanities senior thesis which he will discuss during this presentation.
Mike Russell is a third year medical student from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. He attended undergraduate at Kettering University in Flint, Michigan where he majored in chemical engineering and worked for General Motors conducting alternative energies research. At the TTUHSC campus Mike is active in a number of organizations with the majority of his involvement centered on student government. Currently Mike plans on specializing in Orthopedic Surgery. Upon completion of residency, he aspires to serve as a Pediatric
Orthopedic surgeon and teacher in a developing country.
