The Department <strong>of</strong> Preventive Medicine invited animal handler, Bruce<br />
Shwedick, to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Uniformed</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>University</strong> for <strong>the</strong> annual Snakes Alive!<br />
program, <strong>April</strong> 3. Shwedick is a snake expert, who shared information about<br />
snake wounds. This unique aspect <strong>of</strong> health care is important because<br />
USU graduates may practice medicine in desert or tropical locations where<br />
reptiles like rattlesnakes, anacondas or cobras thrive, and must be able to<br />
recognize and treat bites and o<strong>the</strong>r injuries suffered by military members or<br />
