Areas of Distinction resident project: Injuries in Golden Gate parks



Last week, I had the pleasure of listening to our graduating EM residents' Area of Distinction (AOD) project presentations. I was actually quite blown away be the caliber, sophistication, and variety of projects. I thought I'd share a few on the blog.

Here is the first one by Dr. Jake Miss on "Injury patterns and incidence in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) during 2005-2009" his Wilderness Medicine AOD.

I am still wondering what a "foreign body" injury is from Table 2. Apparently there were two instances of this during the study period.
