“What was most satisfying about this particular fellowship was that it allowed me the opportunity and flexibility to pursue work on those aspects of research that most appealed to me. I had the opportunity to go on rounds, observe consults, get involved in some of the administrative work in the office, perform screens, observe and interview patients, and write a draft of a paper. The variety of tasks was especially satisfying as it allowed me a glimpse at research from multiple perspectives.”
