Personal Importance of Task
This internship was important in helping me clarify my passion for medicine. This experience allowed me to compare and contrast my interest in clinical research with my interest in service-oriented medicine. I learned the value of taking initiative to achieve goals, while simultaneously learning to step back, observe, and reflect. Ultimately, I realized that within research I enjoyed using critical thinking to come to conclusions that can be presented to make a difference in people’s lives. I can apply this critical thinking and research mindset directly to treating patients as a physician. Thus, the internship overall reinforced my passion to enter the field of medicine. |
