Highlights from 05-02-2009 Bi-Weekly Staff Meeting

Here are the highlights from our staff meeting held on May 2nd:

  • The medical staff welcomed Kamida Lockjaw and AndromedaStJohn Aeon to their first bi-weekly staff meeting.
  • Dr. Juran made a surprise announcement: Next Friday, May 8th, Medical will host a party and dance to celebrate the US premiere of the new Star Trek movie!!

SEE DETAILS ABOVE IN THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!

  • Dr. Bourne was delayed in his MERSI projects due to an unexpected LOA. He has returned and is investigating possible MERSI rp opportunities. Ms. Aeon mentioned a shuttle for sale at Galaxy Station that could possibly be used by Medical for a variety of purposes. If it can be group-piloted, this would open more rp possibilities for Medical within the Fleet. Dr. Bourne and Ms. Aeon will investigate further and report back.


  • Dr. Juran and Dr. Akina discussed our Medical Division blog, MTMC News, with the group and encouraged the staff to request posting permissions (via Dr. Akina) so they can contribute original articles, information or relevant links. Posts would not be expected on a regular basis unless the author would like to do so. They should be topic-driven and relevant to our Medical team. The “Suggestion Box” on the blog is reserved for opinions, suggestions, constructive criticism, and the like. Staff members were reminded that Drs. Juran and Akina are always happy to talk privately with any team member about problems, concerns, and so on.


  • We have a new backup surgical suite that Engineering made for us, and we will be installing it in the large room on the First Floor in the Medical Center. This is another opportunity for increased rp experiences once it is up and "operational."


  • Current medical courses were very briefly discussed. Dr. Mayako has developed a third course about medications. If anyone has suggestions or would like to develop a new medical course, please speak with Dr. Akina, who is also Dean of Health Sciences at the Academy.


  • Dr. Braveheart announced that he will soon have a library exhibition, “My SL Life in Pictures,” and will let us know the date when he confirms with Ens. Sadriel Gibbs at the GFC Library. Anyone interested in holding an exhibit should contact Ens. Gibbs; he will be glad to work with you.

Our next meeting will be May 16th, at 4:30pm SLT.
