Lenox Hill Neurosurgery's BRAINtern Program
Caydin Sablan, 2019 Doctors On Board Program and Community Health Ambassadors Internship Program
I am reaching out to you as an ambassador for the BRAINterns program by Lenox Hill neurosurgery. It’s a free one-day virtual program for those who’d like to connect with surgeons from the hospital. I’d love to connect with everyone in PMF and spread the word about this exciting opportunity. Those who will attend will also receive a certificate. Hope everyone registers.
The BRAINterns Webinar Series is a groundbreaking program offered by the Lenox Hill Department of Neurosurgery for anyone interested in healthcare. Due to this new remote environment we are living in, we will be offering this program online and enabling that valuable “shadowing” experience through virtual platforms. Through webinars on relevant topics, academic seminars led by leaders from our Lenox Hill Neurosurgery department, and projects focused on the ins and outs of applying to medical school, working for a neurosurgical practice, surgical video editing, and innovation in the clinical research world, students will get an opportunity to learn from renowned surgeons, PAs, NPs and administrative staff to increase their work experience and enhance their CVs.
The next session of BRAINterns is scheduled for December 28th. Click the register tab to sign up for the webinar.
