![]() My first mentor visit for the school year was a research conference at the Outpatient building in UT Southwestern. There, Dr. Wells and several other surgeons were reviewing some case studies. These cases were mainly of patients with sports-related injuries. It included some arthritic knees and dysplastic hips. A conversation arose regarding cortisol injections that I hope to learn more about. Particularly a newly approved steroidal injection called Flexion. However, the lecture that took place afterwards really drew my interest. Dr. Robert Dimeff gave a lecture about shoulder anatomy, pathologies, and treatments. It was very comprehensive and I learned a lot. The lecture seemed to be a review for a class about to take their boards, for most listeners seemed to be reviewing notes. Although I did not get a chance to talk with Dr. Wells for long, I still learned a lot of new material. The information covered did not necessarily helped me with anything about my final product, but that collaborative project will be starting soon. Dr. Wells will be keeping me informed in that. Nonetheless, I am thankful to be given the chance to visit UTSW again and meet with some new physicians. It was a late meeting, so I had to leave early. Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. - Jim Rohn
