Staying busy as winter starts settling into Iceland

As you can see from the photograph above, ice is starting to form on the mountains, which they tell me is one of the first signs that winter is truly settling in. I've been staying busy with lectures, both for graduate students at the university and at the hospital. I've also been meeting a lot of interesting people while on my stay here in Iceland. I can't wait to share some of what I am learning from the faculty and students at the University of Akureyri and the hospital.

These two pictures are from the presentation I gave today at the hospital titled “Virtual Reality and Health Care.”

This photo is from a lecture to the Masters of Health Science students at the 

University of Akureyri.

Here is the entrance to the hospital in Akureyri known as “Sjukrahusid A Akureyri” in Icelandic.

Here I am in the operating room at Akureyri Hospital with Nicholas Cariglia, M.D.,

one of the gastroenterologists.
