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 2

Today was a great and productive day. I spent 2 hours of the day in an X-ray lab seeing all of the different processes and machines they use. One machine uses re-usable film that captures the image then scans the film and inputs it into the database. The other machine captures the photo and instantly sends it to the computer which uploads it to the database instantly. I also spent some time learning more about MRI's and how they give a better, in-depth photo of bones and tissue than X-rays do. I spent the end of the day doing clinic with my mentor, Dr. Orndorff, and I was able to learn more about arthritis and other spinal diseases and where they usually occur in a spine. Today was another day of learning and it was another great day.
