Over the summer, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Atlantis Fellowship. Through Atlantis, I spent three weeks in Washington, D.C., working on a public health-related project with Children's National Hospital and their Child Health Advocacy Institute (CHAI). In collaboration with my team, I worked with the Healthy Food Working Group to create materials to bolster the hospital's strategy for reaching community members with resources. As a team, we got the chance to reflect on our experience and conduct interviews with the CHAI about what their work means to them. I am proud to share that my team and I recently published an article about our experience in the Children's National Hospital Blog (see the link below)! I want to thank Chaya Merrill for all her work helping us through the project; it was a fantastic experience! After wrapping up the project in D.C., I spent an additional three weeks in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, and participated in AMA-certified clinical shadowing at the Hospital de Santa Luzia. Through this experience, I gained seventy-plus hours of clinical shadowing in various specialties while building a global network of friends and mentors. I want to thank everyone at Hospital de Santa Luzia for hosting, educating, and mentoring us; I look forward to connecting again soon! https://lnkd.in/dAAQxbED

Hi everyone! From June 24-August 4th I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of the Atlantis program in Rome, Italy and Athens, Greece. This experience allowed me to spend those 6 weeks shadowing healthcare professionals in a variety of departments and exploring the different cultures and experiences that Italy and Greece had to offer. I also had the privilege to shadow in the Azienda Ospedaliera San Camillo Forlanini hospital in Rome and KAT Attica General Hospital in Athens. My first week in Rome, I was able to shadow in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department. I was able to see a coronary artery bypass, a partial valve replacement, and a surgery to fix endocarditis. During my second week I shadowed in the Neurosurgery department. I had the opportunity to see two craniotomies, the insertion of a catheter that connected the ventricles of the brain to the stomach, and a partital tumor resection. This department was one of my favorites and I was mesmerized by seeing the brain and the spine up close. My third week was in the Opthalmology department where I was able to watch multiple cataract surgeries and a complete retina replacement. I also observed the clinical side of this department where I watched laser treatments and eye exams. In Athens, my first week was in the Orthopedic Surgery department. This was an amazing opportunity since the hospital I shadowed at was specialized in Orthopedics and is a large trauma center. I was able to see a distal wrist fracture, a total knee arthroplasty, an epidural, and a partial hip replacement. The second week was in the Cardiology department, this was my first week spent in a non-surgical department. I was able to see more patient-physician interactions and spend time observing in the emergency room. Within this department I learned how to look at ultrasounds of the heart, EKGs, and was able to see a catheter inserted into damaged blood vessels. My final week was in the Plastic Surgery department. This specialty was truly amazing to shadow and allows me to see the reconstructive side of Plastics. I was able to see multiple things through observing in the emergency room and in the outpatient clinic. I also saw doctors treat an individual with 360 third degree burns on their legs. The surgeries I was able to shadow included a muscle resection, skin grafts, and a toe amputation. I appreciate this amazing experience and the opportunity to be in the operating room and witness these amazing surgeries. This is an experience I will forever cherish and hold onto as I make my way into the world of medicine.
