“This internship is more than just shadowing, as Dr. Vokshoor explains the details to every diagnosis made in the clinic and surgical procedure carried out in the OR. He also encourages you to ask questions and entrusts you with the responsibility of making pertinent contributions to patients’ charts.”

“This internship has not only been instrumental in the development of my career goals, but also in fostering the greater idea that effective patient care involves much more than simply diagnosing and treating patients; it requires humility, open-mindedness, and an understanding of patients as human beings deserving of empathy and respect.”

“Simply put, there is no better opportunity than the INI Program to observe in the clinic and OR, while learning about some of the most complex surgeries and ailments known to modern medicine.”

“Dr. Vokshoor would always find time here and there to explain his progress throughout the procedure. He also made sure to introduce me to the rest of the surgical team, which allowed me to learn about the other roles vital to neurosurgery.“

“The staff was extremely personable and made me feel at ease, they were more than helpful and informative to any questions I had.”

“Dr. Vokshoor made a point of keeping me involved throughout the week, whether that meant gathering patient information, taking clinical photographs, or observing surgeries.“

“Through the many surgeries that I was able to watch, I refined my knowledge of the anatomy and complex medical terminology that was involved in these neurological operations.”
