Dr. Michael Tang, a recent St. V's graduate, was one of the few doctors who cared for those injured in the aftermath of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Along with his fellow physicians, nurses, techs, police officers, and other emergency department heroes, he helped stabilize and treat the wounds of hundreds of victims, just a few months out of residency. Dr. Tang has already had some interesting experiences after residency and we are thrilled to feature him on St. V’s Alumni: Accolades and Adventures!
