Resident Spotlights
Stanford PM&R supporting the National Veterans Wheelchair Games!
PM&R Stanford Resident – Chantal Nguyen, MD & Dr. Robert Oh from the Palo Alto VA participated in an extraordinary experience for a resident interested in sports medicine, SCI, P&O, or general rehab by supporting the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports and rehabilitation event solely for military veterans and was held this past summer in New Orleans.
She and Dr. Oh joined forces to support the medical/sports coverage for the 560 athletes who participated in the games – with 150 newly participating – her quote “I had the most incredible time” and her accounts of her experience are just so inspiring… such important work - we are so proud of her championship to support those who have had life changing injuries to become more active in their lives and communities!
PROJECT PRESENTATION!
Shout out to our very own PGY3 Resident, Chantal Nguyen, MD, who presented an outstanding presentation titled “Minimally Invasive Needle Tenotomy Versus Platelet Rich Plasma Injections for Pain Relief in Chronic Elbow Epicondilitis” at the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine - Orthobiologic Symposium. The project was invited for the podium presentation among a few thousand abstracts and is in conjunction with her research with Stanford’s own Dr. Eugene Roh. She did a fantastic job, and Dr. Roh is so proud of her, as are we!!!
She also presented a case report poster presentation for “Chronic Low Back Pain in a Trapeze Artist – No more mousing around” with Dr. Robert Oh. Great job Chantal, Dr. Roh and Dr. Oh!!
When it comes to talent our Residents are a force to be reckoned with - PGY3 Dr. Anita Lowe is not only an outstanding resident and doctor, but a first-class communicator as well! Please take a moment to listen to her 1st place Phyz Talk she delivered at the AAPM&R Conference about her personal journey to becoming a Doctor specializing in PM&R - she paints the picture with grace and elegance. She also continues to communicate her unique experience in achieving her goals in our complicated world as a regular on talk radio.
It is another testament to the diversity we find in our program and our people! Congrats again to Anita - we are so proud of her!
