We built on our success with a subsequent collaboration with the One Health Initiative and the Pre-Health Collaborative for the Spring 2014 issue merited a second nomination.

-Throughout the spring of 2014, we also worked with the Tufts University Emergency Medical Services in their panel discussing emergency care during the Boston Marathon bombings.
