Teton Medical Group Internship

Abstract

I was able to participate in an internship with a Family Practice/Obstetric and Gynecology Medical Clinic in Rexburg, Idaho and St. Anthony, Idaho. The medical clinic’s name is Teton Medical Group and there are two of them. I was able to intern at both sites and with many different medical professionals.

My role in this internship was to observe to physicians, learn from the physicians, participate in paperwork, learn about the business and to learn about how a medical professional’s personal life is.

I am wanting to become a doctor so this internship has provided me an insight of what life would be like. The medical professionals I worked with gave me great advice and what separates good from bad doctors!
