“This intense five week Clinical Health Summer Program has been really rewarding for me. I have not only built a network of good friends at Pembroke Family Practice Center--I have observed America's rural health system in action. My "shadowing experience" was unique in that I was given the opportunity to assist with the patient's care from the time they arrived to the time they left.”

“The clinical experience I have received for the past six weeks has been such a learning and rewarding experience. This clinical health experience was very beneficial and affirmed my decision to pursue a health career.

“The most memorable procedure that I assisted on was an injection into a joint. The doctor showed me how to find the point where you would want to insert the needle and let me find it on the patient's other knee. I've learned a lot during my clinical experience and it is just the beginning. The clinical experience has pushed me further into the medical field of gynecology.”
