Throughout this semester we had the pleasure of working on a group project. Our focus was the effects of Pitocin on post-partum hemorrhage. It was fascinating to read about the topic, especially as it aligned with material for our Maternity/Pediatrics course.

The actors did a wonderful job of displaying schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideations, and alcohol dependency.

The literature that I reviewed was impressively written and utilized a lot of strong research skills. I think they are all great examples of how to approach scientific writing.
