10, June. Today morning Dr. Sturgeon suggested us to listen to the very interesting research report about anti-hemorrhage therapy. This report was performed in the conference room, which has possibility of remote demonstration to the other places (there are 6 or 8 cameras).

After this report we visited few rooms, where trainees can get some surgical skills: I did endoscopic exercises with plastic triangles,  even performed colonoscopy, but I tied the twice loop and the level of patients pain in the screen was very hight.

Resident, who accompanied us, consoled me, that the case was very complicated :-) The amount of training facilities impressed us: we saw the hall for training endoscopic skills with cadavers: there are six working operation tables and each one has own both endoscopic counter and lighting.

The next exercise room are equipped as reanimation room with mannequin who can complain, suffer etc.

This "male" has some ports for intravenous manipulation, we can do reanimation procedure.   We could see simulators for performing the fine needle aspiration, tracheostomy, thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery for new-born child etc. All simulators are made by 3D printer. 

I concluded, that one of the main reason of very hight level of medical education in US is a lot attention to training practical skills.

We were introduced to the President of endocrine society Dr.Teresa Woodruff.

Dr.Woodruff told us, that research building has 3 floors (!) for experimental animals. It was very hearty welcome, Teresa kindly gifted us her monograph with welcoming signed.  

The next part of our day was dedicated to observing the work of very professional nurse, who teaches patients with diabetes. 

The end of our day we spent for learning the brilliant collection of Art Institute. 

We had been walking in their halls for two and half hours and we're really amazed!
