ICYMI: Peoria MedPeds hosts an annual "Switch Dinn ICYMI: Peoria MedPeds hosts an annual "Switch Dinner" every fall before the first 'switch' of the academic year.  Our interns are going from pediatrics to internal medicine (or vice versa)--and our superterns are becoming supervisory seniors.  Residents and faculty share wisdom and insights -- and a meal -- to help alleviate the anxiety of the first switch.  This year, we hosted the event at Jump Simulation.  #peoriamedpeds #peoria #peoriaillinois #switchdinner #residencylife #residenteducation #medpeds #medpedsfamily

Last week, Peoria MedPeds and @uicompeoriapeds res Last week, Peoria MedPeds and @uicompeoriapeds residents joined medical students from @uicompeoria , SIU, and ATSU at "Diabetes Camp." As cabin clinicians, they helped to navigate the highs and lows with the campers -- and gained insight on living with #type1diabetes -- even if only for a week.  Around 100 campers got to be "just kids at camp" with this opportunity.  It truly is a collaborative experience -- with nurses, nursing students, dieticians, and  dietetic interns joining camp directors and camp counselors to provide a safe environment for these kids.
