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 7

Today felt oddly long compared to most of the other days, probably because I spent 95% of it in clinic. Even though it was a long day, I enjoyed today's learning experience. I learned a little more about the indications of bursitis, the inflammation of a bursa nerve, and I saw an interesting case involving a T11 fracture that was so bad that Dr. Orndorff is going to bring up the case in front of other surgeons and physicians on Wednesday at the case conference. I enjoy working with Dr. Orndorff because he works extremely efficiently, but at the same time, takes the time to show me the Xrays and MRIs of patients and explains what they have exactly. He speaks extremely fast, but I feel like I'm catching on. I'm exhausted, but today was worth it.
