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 4

Today was pretty slow, but there were some new learning experiences today for me. This morning, I shadowed Dr. Goodman in clinic and we saw a very unusual form of a fracture. It's called a Maisonneuve fracture (named after the French doctor) and it is a form of a spiral fracture(fracture that progressively tears other tissue and fractures other bones). This man had a fracture in his fibula and his ankle while tearing the membrane holding the fibula and tibula together. This man had surgery in January and is in his third month of recovery. He is doing a lot better and he was actually really friendly to me unlike the other patients we dealt with. Today was slow and a little uneventful, but still had its amazing moments.
