 Hello TUSM Students!
Are you interested in how Philadelphia prepared for medical emergencies during the Pope visit?? Well, come learn all about that are more at the annual TEAC Symposium! This year's theme is "Acutely Acting, Chronically Caring: Disaster Medicine in Focus" and will explore the relationship between acute and chronic disaster response. TEAC and TEACH are dedicated to responding to both types of disasters and this symposium will allow the Temple community to learn from how other organizations have an impact in this field. Temple University Hospital's Disaster Response Coordinator Dr. Ernest Yeh will be the keynote speaker and will be providing insight into Temple University Hospital's response to the Amtrak disaster last May. Following Dr. Yeh's discussion, there will be acute and chronic disaster breakout sessions facilitated by leaders in these areas. The symposium will conclude with a special appreciation of the individuals who have helped make this all possible, The Greenfield Foundation and Dr. Zoe Maher, a TUSM alumna who founded TEAC ten years ago. We welcome you to join us for a day of educational discussion on Saturday, October 10, 2015 in the Medical Education and Research Building (MERB) from 8:30AM-2:00PM. Breakfast refreshments and lunch will be served. Please register for the event at http://tinyurl.com/teacsymposium2015. Thank you and we hope to see you there! Sincerely, TEAC Team

Citing the persistence of thousands of preventable deaths each year due to lack of health insurance, students at more than 26 medical schools across the country will hold teach-ins, rallies, and candlelight vigils on Oct. 1 (#TenOne) to bring national attention to 'our failing health care system' and the need for single-payer health reform. Students for a National Health Program (SNaHP) – working in coalition with the American Medical Student Association, WhiteCoats4BlackLives, the Latino Medical Student Association, Universities Allied for Essential Medicine, and PreHealth Dreamers – is sponsoring a day of action to remember the millions of people in our country who remain uninsured, underinsured, and underserved by our current health care system. We will also underscore the need for a more fundamental health reform – a nonprofit, publicly financed, single-payer health system. In Philadelphia, medical student leaders from the Temple University School of Medicine and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania will participate in this momentous nationwide day of action on October 1, 2015 from 6-7 pm at Dilworth Park on the west side of City Hall. Learn how the system fails patients, memorialize lives lost with a candlelight vigil, and join our growing coalition of patients and providers demanding Medicare-for-All! RSVP for #TenOne Philadelphia and learn more about the student movement for universal healthcare.
