Summer Pediatric Research Scholar
June - August 2018 • Akron, OH
What I liked
Akron Children's Hospital is a tremendous place to work. The staff is incredible and they have a well-run summer research program for undergraduates. I got to work on research that is going to be published and was able to shadow in almost every specialty in the hospital. I was also mentored by two practicing physicians and a PA and they provided me with invaluable career advice. It truly was a wonderful experience.
What I wish was different
Initially, I wish there was better feedback during the onboarding process but it ended up working out well.
Advice
Ask to talk to everyone! If there is something you're interested in, ask around and I am sure there will be people who are there to help you or who will take you to cool procedures. I got to shadow in Oncology and the OR simply by asking.
