The most surprising and interesting this about my mentorship is the amount of information and advice given to me by my mentor. I knew going into this program that I would shadow and work with the doctor, I did not know how much influence he would have in my life. He has helped me open my eyes to new possibilities in the medical field and going into college. I have been given advice on college interviews up to the MCAT, an exam for the entrance of Medical School.
The routine or "boring" parts of the internship are the most important. You observe the doctor and follow him around, but when it comes down to it those are the times that mean the most. You see how he interacts with patients, how he deals with certain situations including when the patient may be being a little facetious and not telling the whole truth or if they are exaggerating their condition. The boring times are the times for note taking and observing.
