Week 7:
The Children’s Hospital
July 10, 2013 | This past week has been one of the most exciting weeks so far. After a fun-filled 4th of July, I went in the next morning to watch surgery…for the first time! I was so nervous before I went because I was not sure how I would react to seeing surgery up close. I have known […]
Week 7:
University of Iowa Department of Biochemistry
July 10, 2013 | With the Fourth of July on Thursday of this week, we only had 3 work days followed by a 4 day weekend. This was great because the Iowa City Jazz Festival was happening downtown where I got to see numerous musicians play some great jazz. During the work week, however, I did prepare H28, H31 […]
Week 3:
Institute for Exploited, Trafficked and Missing Persons
July 9, 2013 | This week has been nuts! But in a great way, things have really revved up in regards to my fundraising event and we have started our flagship DMAC. I have also been out and about in the city and will be leaving for two weeks to take advantage of an opportunity in Chicago. Busy, busy, […]
Week 7:
African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa
July 9, 2013 | Monday: No staff meeting, Claire and I are in Chicago visiting/touring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra archive. Talking to another archivist, and someone who is pursuing archival studies, about how much we love…well, the stuff, organizing, playing detective, and helping people find the information they need. It was great. Maybe I like the technology implementation side a little […]
Week 3:
National Association of Chain Drug Stores
July 8, 2013 | I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! The festivities in Washington, D.C. are unlike anything you have ever seen. Hundreds of thousands of people come out to the parade and fireworks on the National Mall. After a full day of museums, touring the Capitol and Library of Congress, and eating great food, we walked […]
Week 7:
Mayo Clinic
July 8, 2013 | This week went by quickly, considering we only had a three-day week. Most of this week was dedicated to completing the CAP gold standard. The CAP gold standard consists of 120 epochs compiled from different subjects. In order to pass, you must have over 80% concordance with the gold standard. The purpose of the gold […]
Week 8:
Baruch Institute for Marine & Coastal Sciences
July 7, 2013 | Time flies. I’ve now finished my 8th week here, which means there are only two weeks left before I leave this place. On the one hand, I’d say I’m happy, as I get to go home for the first time in a year. I’m excited to see my parents and friends. At the same time, […]
Week 5:
University of Iowa Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology
July 7, 2013 | Week 5 has passed, and I’m well into Week 6. Time has flown by, and I’m starting to realize that I only have about three weeks left until I’m done with the FUTURE Program. Three weeks to finish up as much of my experiment as I can, make a poster, and be ready to present […]
Week 6:
Project Transitions
July 6, 2013 | Choice: a decision made of one’s free will. The concept of choice is a recurring theme in my case management training. This week I reevaluated my own definition of choice. In life, we make choices every moment of every day. We choose what to wear, what to eat, what to say. These are choices that […]
Week 6:
Twin Cities Orthopedics
July 5, 2013 | The rehabilitation process after a knee replacement is quite taxing on the individual. There is a lot of work that must go in the first week or two following the surgery. This week at Twin Cities Orthopedics I was able to meet with a patient who was only three days post- operation from a total […]
