Tyson Bolinske

Tyson Bolinske, second-year medical student, presented his research at the American Society of Anesthesiology meeting in October at Orlando, FL. The research was conducted as part of a highly competitive summer anesthesia fellowship Bolinske received from the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER). Under the fellowship during summer 2008, Bolinske worked with Raymond Sinatra, MD, PhD, and Nalini Vadivelu, MD, at Yale University where he focused on determining the clinical efficacy of a novel epidural pain medication (DepoDurTM) in comparison to the standard of care in women undergoing elective cesarean section. 

“Tyson is a talented, intelligent and highly organized young man who competed extremely well for the prestigious summer anesthesia research fellowship,” said Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions Judy DeMers, Grand Forks.  “He worked very hard all summer and was rewarded with a trip to the organization’s annual meeting in October to participate in presenting his work.  Since he is only a second-year medical student, I expect we will see many more achievements of note from him.”

His study is titled “Double-Blind Randomized Prospective Evaluation of Sustained Duration Epidural Morphine (DepoDurTM) vs. ProlongedDuration Intrathecal Morphine (DuramorphTM) for Pain Control, Side Effects, and Patient Satisfaction.”

Bolinske is the son of Larry and Shelly Bolinske of Dickinson, ND.
