Day 7: Tulane University

May 1,2023 / By AANA

 


The 2023 AANA Traveling Fellows bid farewell to Phoenix as they travel to their third and final site visit, Tulane University in New Orleans. A big thank you to former AANA Traveling Fellow Kostas Economopoulos, M.D. for taking the Traveling Fellows to the airport. The luggage Tetris is much easier to figure out the second time around! They make a quick stop in Houston but unfortunately did not have enough time to take a dip in the pool of Theodore Shybut, M.D., FAANA.
