Since December 2020, we have hosted over 20 physicians to present on Shellcast across several different specialties. Due to the reopening of several shadowing programs in the Summer of 2021, we have suspended Shellcast's livestreams. In the spirit of fostering experience and education, we are re-opening all of our past presentations for viewing from our audience. The quizzes will be available for all of the presentations, ensuring that you get credit for your hours! Take a look across our presentations and experience a new field in medicine.
