Two IUP students will get to experience a unique opportunity with one local hospital this summer.
According to an announcement from the university, pre-medicine majors David Fyock and Tommy Letso are completing the eight-week Indiana Regional Medical Center’s Pre-Med Undergraduate Summer Internship this summer, in which both will shadow a new medical specialist each week.
Only eight students were selected for this internship program and students were chosen through a competitive application process. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a certificate documenting their participation time which can be used for medical school applications.
This is the program’s second year and is run by Dr. Dan Clark, IRMC’s Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery and the Director of the IRMC Comprehensive Breast Center.
Both Fyock and Letso chose cardiology as an elective shadowing opportunity.
