First DIG meeting

The first DIG meeting was held 10/05/05. In attendance were Dr. Wagner, 3 new members, and Co-President Emily Fridlington. The meeting served as a general introduction to the DIG and provided new members with an opportunity to meet our faculty sponsor, Dr. Wagner. We discussed the goals for the year including plans to host a resident panel and opportunities for service and involvement in various projects such as the Galveston County Health Fair, the AAD Skin Cancer Screening, and Sunburn and Sun Safety Workshops. New members were also given information on the UTMB Honor's Research Program and encouraged to brainstorm further projects for the DIG.
