This internship helped me realize what it take to get to my goal career and be successful. I was able to talk to med students and residents as well which helped me understand my path and some tips too. Just being in high school I have a long way to go, but I think if I continue on the path I am now by trying to get ahead of the game I will be successful. Obviously I will be needing to do a lot more when I am on my path so I need to prepare for the obstacles I will soon face.
My mentor is a Pathologist so she has been through everything needed to become a doctor. She has gone through undergrad, med school, and residency. She has helped me realize that the path is going to be very challenging but it's worth it because in the end you will be doing something you love. Overall, internship has helped me so much in guiding my path and it has given me a great advantage so I can prepare early.

My final product is a portfolio of 5 different cases that I followed throughout my time at internship. Creating this was difficult because in order to understand what I was looking at, I had to basically learn a new language. I had to work with multiple doctors to complete this portfolio too. I had to learn step by step of how cases get diagnosed and how they should be written up. It was a long process but very worth it. This is important because since I want to go into the medical field I got a head start in the basics of medicine and the basics of helping patients. I got to see every aspect, every type of doctor or job, and how long it takes to solve every case. This will help me in my future in med school, residency, and the rest of my career. |
