Our annual bike helmet safety service project took place this past week at the Boys and Girls Club of Johnson City.

2007 TECP Annual Conference
This year, the TCEP Annual Conference is going to partner with the Alabama College of Emergency Physicians for their conference. Strangely, it will be held in neither of these states, and will instead be in Sandestin, Fl at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The dates are June 11-14, 2007. You may call Wilma Cooley at 615.460.1650 to reserve a spot, or you can
check the ALACEP website. In the past conference attendance was free, and you only had to pay for housing, but right now there is no "medical student" option on their website. We will keep you informed as to the status of the annual meeting.
Nobody's Home
Well in case anyone was wondering (which I doubt); interview season is coming to an end.
You might also be wanting to know why nothing has been posted for a long time. Well since only 2 people were reading the Blog (the 2 of us doing all the posting) we've decided to take our rants and tirades elsewhere. If anyone is interested in our adventures on the Trail of Tears '07 feel free to give us a yell. Otherwise I guess this could be the last post for a long long time.
Interview Trail '07 Continued

ACEP Scientific Assembly
ACEP SA starts this weekend and goes through the middle of next week. There are workshops/lectures available to attend and a residency fair. We are in New Orleans and it should be interesting as this is one of the first large conventions post Katrina. We'll see how the city handles it and also how the convention goes.
Interview Trail '07
Travis here again. It appears that interview offers for EM are in prime season. I'll try to give you an update as several (if I'm lucky) come in rather than posting each individual one. But I do have one more to add to my list; UK. So here is my list thus far.
