NYU Langone Health

Shadowing Intern

May - June 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

My mentor was incredible. They were kind, communicative, and really invested in my learning experience. They made me feel really welcome and I learned so much about hand therapy and occupational therapy. The facilities are also fantastic and it was a privelege and honor to be able to work in such a renowned institution. I got to foster meaningful relationships with patients and observe diverse pathologies and patient populations.
