Day 4: Otolaryngology, Gynecology, Nursing, Emergency Medicine, Nephrology
Another event-filled day! Our day started with a 2-hour clinic with Dr. Matt Alvarez and Dr. Eleanor Rhee with amazing demonstrations and activities. We got to observe a birth simulation and saw how to deliver a baby using various tools, as well as practicing suturing on a pig’s foot!
Afterward, we met with Coty Brayboy, a Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Alex Limkakeng, an Emergency Medicine specialist, and Dr. Billy Fan, a Nephrologist over zoom. We learned all about their specializations and what they do on a daily basis as well as the harrowing journey they had to take in college on their way to becoming a doctor.
Finally, at the end of the day, we revisited Dr. McElveen, the ear specialist, and he showed us amazing videos of various surgeries including a stapedectomy, or the replacement of the stapes bone in the ear, and a tumor removal from the brain!
