Perelman School of Medicine Invites Rhett Hackett
For the 3rd year in a row, and also in coordination with C.H.O.P, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation to first year medical students at the Perelman School of Medicine (University of Pennsylvania) on the topic of child sexual abuse (CSA). Each year it is my favorite group to present to and I love working with the doctors that coordinate the lecture.

I took on the challenge of learning a new language, Spanish to be exact, and it has been quite the challenge to say the least (Aprender un nuevo idioma es difícil.) I [...]
