A Letter from the Presidents

Hello and welcome to the first edition of the bimonthly STIMulus Newsletter. STIM (Students for Technology In Medicine) is a new student interest group dedicated to all things tech in medicine. One of our primary goals is to educate ourselves and our peers about all the latest and greatest happenings in the world of medical bio-tech, and come together to discuss the incredible advances that are shaping the future of our profession. Here, we present a distillation of a fraction of a portion of just some of the things that are happening in science and engineering in medicine. We live in a time where technological advances regularly transform previously impossible musings into milestones of the past, and we should be a part of that. The more we collectively know, and are able to articulate, the more we can work together with the interdisciplinary groups that design the future of medicine. We hope this newsletter inspires you to learn more. We hope you join us in bringing more information to the table. The stronger these collaborations, the better off our field and our patients will be. STIMulus is open to anybody who would like to submit an article. We are looking for any article on new tech, new procedures, faculty spotlights and interviews, opinion pieces on the ethics of controversial technology applications, reviews, etc. We all have a unique background and are capable of contributing a valuable voice to the collective discussion. We hope that you take the time to investigate our newsletter, and let us all know what kind of exciting things are out there. We look forward to reading your submissions.
