UMC Shadowing
UMC Shadowing Day 4 (7/17)
For this day, MEMO had its last shadowing day at UMC. Although it was the fourth day, our learning experiences were still very unique and interesting! I was assigned to OB-GYN. We were able to see a range from c-sections to oncology surgeries. All of the staff (doctors, nurses, coordinators, etc.) were such a great help in explaining procedures. There were so many different tools and methods that I have never heard of before for non-invasive surgeries, cutting techniques, and restorative procedures. I've always had an interest in OB-GYN and I'm so grateful to have learned so much at UMC hospital.
