PCOM Orthopedic - Bowling Night 05.16.24

We were able to set up a bowling night following our weekly didactics when most of us would be free on last Thursday 5/16. We reserved 4 lanes at a local bowling alley in Philadelphia in a semi private section and had some catered food items as well. The event was well attended by 15/20 residents, our program director Dr. Rosenblatt, and 3 of our beloved attendings. Everyone had a great time and much appreciated the grant that was the impetus behind setting up this event.
