SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

As I shadowed the physicians, I learned the proper way to interact with patients, take a history and do a physical exam. Going on rounds with the medical team and listening to them plan the patients’ care was a fascinating experience and although I had very little medical knowledge at that point, just being there taught me so much. Doing the independent research project and presenting it to the CHEMED staff and my fellow students was crucial in the development of my time management, public speaking, and data gathering skills. Above all, the program helped teach me professionalism, discipline, and cemented my passion for becoming a physician, as well as connected me with some amazing future Jewish healthcare and business leaders. My participation in Lakewood Fellowship was one of the most important pieces of my medical school application and was a hot topic on interview days, as many people were curious to know more about it and what I learned from it.
