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.

A Day in the Life of a Spine Surgeon

I was unable to get an interview from my mentor, so the best I can do is explain the consistent schedule of a surgeon (or at least what I saw). First, the day usually starts off with either early morning clinic or surgery, and depending on the surgery, it could last a while. A lot of a surgeon's day (from what I saw) consists of surgery or clinic except for the day or two in a week where they meet with their colleagues and collaborate on confusing or interesting cases that they would like the other physicians' opinions. Other than that, their day consists of those two things, but again this was only what I saw. Thank you for reading my blog posts and this will be my last on this blog page.
