Final elective and rotation of medical school! Great rotation! Doing evisceration during autopsy to learn clinical anatomy for residency. Studying under Dr. Littman and Dr. Balachandra. Completing rotation at the Health Science Center Hospital.

Continued Surgical Center vs Hospital Outpatient Laprascopic Cholecystectomy Cost Analysis Research with Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Kowdely.

Educational and informative rotation with Dr. Gonzalez. Working in an outpatient surgical center across from Florida Hospital Orlando. Got to see a lot of beautiful women before, during, and after surgery. Never gave plastic surgery much thought, but it was an eye opener what a morale and self-esteem boost it can be! Dr. G, Dr. Miller and Dr. Beltrye were great and willing teachers, answering any question I had and allowing me to be very involved in the process (was allowed to wield and use a scalpel and bovie for the first time!). Witnessed and participated in abdominoplasties, breast augmentation and lifts, blepharoplasty, and facial lifts. The rest of the staff (Yovannie Miranda and Sue Lee) were very welcoming and friendly.

Excellent learning opportunity. My preceptor, Dr. Fuad Shahin, was very instrumental in the development of surgical skills (tying and suturing), as well as engaging in didactic teaching sessions around the cases.The elective was crucial to accrue surgical skills in the OR, such as suturing, closing wounds, and first assisting as a resident would. This experience paired well with Surgery core, which prepared me for therigors of an intern with pre-rounding, rounding, taking calls and ER consults all at a high volumecommunity center.I enjoyed an unexpected opportunity to participate in the end to end harvesting of organs with a visiting transplant team, and flight overnight to the transplant site in Gainesville, Fl.

Great rotation with Dr. Theodore Rapanos inpatient (Hamilton General Hospital and St. Joseph's Hospital), hospital outpatient clinic, and outpatient vein clinic Oakville Vascular, where I participated in varicose vein ablation (endovascular laser, sclerotherapy, and vein stripping).

Allowed gradual exposure to the independent responsibilities of a PGY-1. This elective prepared me for medical situations and how to manage conditions such as hypertension, nausea and vomiting, pain, EtOH/substance withdrawal and FEN. I continued developing medical education techniques, as I presented case studies, discussed EKG and diagnostic imaging, and rounded with 3rd year medical students.

Morning inpatient rounds at Florida Hospital Altamonte, then outpatient clinic with Dr. Carlos Chaban and Dr. David Hale at Hunt Club Pediatrics.

I coordinated a team of students and compiled 30% of the data in a retrospective clinical study comparing and analysing the cost and complications of inpatient vs outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Cost and Outcome Analysis MSCC vs. St. Agnes Hospital study) under the mentorship of Dr. Steven C Cunningham.

This rotation prepared me for the rigors of an intern with pre-rounding, rounding, taking calls and ER consults all at a high volume community center.

Directed, corrected, and guided 10 students 5 days a week for 1 hour per day to prepare for semester-end objective structured clinical examinations.

Prepared review notes and questions for a tutorial of 20 students who met once a week for 3 hours. Presented and reviewed material covered by class over past week and answered inquiries.

Under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Nauth, I worked full-time in the the Musculoskeletal Research Laboratory regarding tissue engineering of bone with stem cells in an animal fracture model. My duties included literature review, cell isolation and culture, assisting with animal surgeries, and MicroCT imaging of bone regeneration. The research I contributed to received a number of awards, including the 2010 International Society for Fracture Repair Award for best research paper and was eventually published as 'Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Fracture Healing: A Microcomputed Tomography and Biomechanical Analysis' in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma Li R, Atesok K, Nauth A, Wright D, Qamirani E, Whyne CM, Schemitsch EH.
