Meet Stephanie West, a St. George’s/TAMU 2026 graduate!
She shares her experience at East Lake…
My most rewarding experiences during this externship were the opportunities for hands-on learning and growth in both surgery and clinical medicine. I was able to improve my skills and confidence in performing spays and neuters, as well as assist in other soft tissue procedures such as a cystotomy and a perineal hernia repair. I also found it rewarding to assist with appointments from intake through discharge, which strengthened my understanding of case management, while the mentorship and guidance from the doctors helped shape my clinical thought process and build my confidence in managing appointments.
Thank you for all your hard-work, Stephanie! 🧡
