In this eShadowing session, Dr. Galvez walked us through his career, including a case study where an 18 month old was born without an index finger due to amniotic bands. He was then able to perform a Z-Plasty to elongate the thumb and middle finger to reduce potential long term issues.

What is eShadowing?

Finding premed shadowing during COVID-19 has been hard for everyone. That's why Meded Media launched eShadowing with robust attendance tracking and quizzes so we can give you a certificate to document your hours.

Every Monday at 8 pm ET, with replays available, eShadowing will bring you a new physician who will talk about their profession, offer a case presentation, and give their time for Q&A. Learn more and sign up at [ Ссылка ].
