This talk is targeted at residents who will be joining us in the preoperative clinic.  It serves as an introduction to our workflow and adds a little philosophy about the value of this work both for our patients and our specialty.  If you have University of Utah access, you will find the articles you’ll be expected to read during the rotation on our Pulse page here.  Even if you don’t have access, you can find our the list of topics, readings, and questions on Evernote here.  Enjoy and welcome to the clinic!
