This week I was able to observe a couple patients in the clinic again, who I had already seen previously, so it was interesting to follow their journey and learn about the paths of treatment doctors can provide to patients with the same, and yet different disease. I also had the chance to shadow some heart and brain surgeries, which was very interesting. The brain surgeries I saw were tumor removals, and it was interesting to see the various methods of removal based on the location and density of the tumor, as well as the type of tumor that was being removed. This provides me with a better idea of what the research I work on can be applied to and understanding of how it can be applied. I really appreciate the time I was able to spend in the clinic throughout the immersion program over the summer as it gave me a fuller foundation of my research.
