Ready to Treat Patients in Any Environment

Eileen Bulger, M.D., Res. ’00, Fel. ’00

I became interested in surgery during medical school and liked the challenge of taking care of patients who were critically ill or injured. When I was looking for a residency training program in surgery, I chose UW Medicine largely due to the opportunity to work at Harborview Medical Center. For the last year, I have had the honor of serving as the chief of trauma at Harborview, where I manage the trauma quality improvement program and work with all services providing trauma care.

Bringing Rehabilitation Medicine to Moldova

Cyndi Robinson, Ph.D. ’10 (Rehabilitation Science)

In 2003, when the opportunity arose to travel to Moldova with Medical Teams International, the World Bank ranked Moldova as the poorest country in the developing world. I knew nothing about the country before arriving. We provided direct patient care while sharing a space with local healthcare providers, but, unfortunately, there was no planned interaction.
