“It is one thing to learn about human anatomy and medicine in an academic setting, but it is an entirely different and necessary experience to witness the application of what is learned in the classroom, particularly when considering a career in the medical field.”

“During clinic, I learned a lot about the professional demeanor that must be upheld in the medical field as well as the importance of understanding and catering specifically to each patient's feelings.”

“I quickly learned how essential it was to become fully immersed into the field as each patient-interaction, diagnosis, surgery, and post-op recovery stage was extremely unique.”

“What inspired me the most during my time in the internship was seeing how much time and energy Dr. Vokshoor spent into making sure each of his patients were fully taken care of.”

“I got the witness an olfactory bulb tumor being removed during brain surgery and was in the surgery room while I watched two patients receive spinal fusion surgery.”

“Dr. Vokshoor takes the time to explain medical procedures that may seem frightening to patients and it was inspirational to see how relieved the patients were by the time they walk out of the office.”

“One day during my internship, a former patient stopped by the clinic to express his gratitude to Dr. Vokshoor for changing his life and giving him the ability to walk again. It was an inspiring moment to witness.”

“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.”
