My mentorship was an amazing opportunity to learn more about cardiology and my desire to go into the medical field. I was able to learn about the heart and its importance in the human body, and the measures that doctors and patients can take in order to maintain a healthy heart. I was able to learn how to read EKGs and Echo-cardiograms. I was also able to understand how a medical office worked and the administration it would take to run a private practice. In order to gain the most knowledge and experience I had to ask questions, ask to view procedures and ask to perform small jobs. That was the only way I was able to learn as much as I could. Having an open mind and learning from even the most minute and seemingly unimportant is the best attitude in participating in the Honors Mentorship Program.
Having this experience of learning at a cardiologists office has allowed me to expand my horizons of the medical field. I am very passionate about healthcare, and this opportunity has allowed me to know more about healthcare and all the opportunities at has to offer. In the future I will be able to better understand what field of medicine to pursue. Before I thought Cardiology was an extremely complex field of medicine, and it still is very important, but i now know that as intimidating as it may seem, it is not impossible to comprehend. I also now know, that cardiology is not 100% open heart surgery and that there are many medications and other forms of treatment that go into it. For all students that wish to participate in the Honors Mentorship Program, I recommend that they pursue something they are truly intrigued and interested in. Having an interest in the field of study is important as it will motivate the student to learn and stay enthusiastic. It is also very important to ask questions and ask for more opportunities. Opportunities to learn will often not be given to an individual unless asked for. Having an open mind and treating each opportunity as a learning experience will ensure that each individual can get the most out of the Honors Mentorship Program.
