What is my LINK internship?

My LINK internship is going to be incorporated with a medical internship/teaching program called RMEC (Resources for Medical Education and Collaboration). The idea of this program is to provide medical education and collaboration to advance evidence based medicine and to improve health care quality. The reason I'm going into this program for my internship is that I want to go into medical research and cardiology. The people that run RMEC assembled a specific program that fits me. I will be working with a spine surgeon and working with spine and orthopedic study.

Day 12

For the first part of the day, I was in radiology and to be honest, it was the most boring thing I have sat through throughout my whole internship. The best part was that we got free breakfast. We watched about 3 or 4 Xrays and the rest of the time was spent sitting around, so it wasn't too thrilling. The rest of the day was great. I got to watch a hip replacement and Dr. Lawton allowed me to hold and look at the ball of the hip of the patient and it was one of the coolest things I have seen in my life. They had to replace this ball because it was very arthritic and there was no more cartilage on the ball, so it was rubbing bone-on-bone. Today was up and down, but it was still a great day.
