Student Comment:
- “Overall a very well-rounded program. Like Stroke Team, you get ample experience in the ER and become familiar with the residents and stroke protocol. You additionally get the opportunity to attend neuro rounds and grand rounds, which is valuable shadowing experience. In addition, you are able to improve your public speaking skills from all the community events and health fairs you attend. Your ER shifts are the exact same as Stroke Team's, but you only have them every other week on weekends. One drawback of this program is that you do not have as much ER time, and may feel less knowledgeable compared with your stroke team co's. However, this is made up by the fact that you get to participate in community outreach. For those who desire the Stroke Team experience, but are willing to sacrifice some hospital exposure for public speaking and community engagement.”
