PULSE IS BACK @ RRMC 🥳🩺
We are excited to be back in person for our shadowing shifts this Fall quarter! Check out all the wonderful pictures PULSE members took on their first week back 🤳🏽✨

PULSE hosted its first professional development event of the 2022-2023 academic year last week 🤍🩺
This professional development event aims to highlight how disparities in medicine, such as disability, incarceration, and being q***r, affect the quality of healthcare delivery, contribute to the growing gap between patients and healthcare providers, and serve as a change agent.

This Monday, November 7th, we will be hosting a Sharetea x PULSE fundraiser🧋🤍All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to St. Baldrick's, a foundation that works with pediatric cancer patients and research initiatives. Please present this flyer to ensure that your Sharetea purchase contributes to our fundraiser ✨

Hello everyone!! The month of October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month. According to the Aeron’s Foundation, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) are the most common causes of death in children under the age of 1. Through our platform, we would like to encourage all of you to help raise awareness for SIDS and educate yourself and others on safe infant sleep and preventative measures against SIDS.

You can learn more about safe sleep practices, SIDS Awareness Month, and how to get involved through the Aeron’s Foundation’s website, which is linked in our bio! To raise awareness for SIDS this month, we encourage you all to repost this post on your Instagram Stories with a picture of you as a baby, or something memorable from your childhood (fur babies, dolls, etc.)! Please be sure to tag and use the hashtag .

Together, we hope to help build a future free from suffering caused by SIDS.💙💖

Sincerely,

PULSE and our Faculty Mentor Dr. Amanda Kosack
