Future Directions Women’s Health:

This internship only expanded my interest in working in women’s health. The feeling you get when a woman has a positive pregnancy test when she has been trying for 5 years is a blessing like no other!

Research

Although I indirectly helped women in a huge way by conducting research, I do not think this is a part of the medical field I will find myself in the future. I prefer the clinical side of medicine and to be more hands on.

I wanted to express a thank you to Dr. Lessey and everyone at the Fertility Center of the

Carolinas. You were so welcoming and eager to teach every day. This internship and the

lessons I learned will only further help me in my future advancement as a medical

professional!
