This trimester, two new NUHS students joined the team at
Stroger's Hospital. NUHS students Dong Ming Sung and Asim Kamal
became rotating residents at Stroger's hospital this trimester.
These students bring a strong skill set and knowledge base to the
team.
Both students feel this opportunity is a cornerstone in their
educational career. "I think this is real world
experience," Dong Ming stated. "It is similar to
what career life will be after I graduate. Every student in our
school should participate in this great opportunity. I really
appreciate that Dr. Frank Yurasek is giving us this great
opportunity!"
Dong Ming Sung, Asim Kamal, and myself
I fully agree with Dong Ming. I believe we are privileged to
experience many unique patient interactions at Stroger's. We are
fortunate to introduce AOM to many patients who have never
experienced it. Additionally, these patients are experiencing
remarkable results with the addition of AOM treatments.
This trimester, we have worked together at Stroger's for three
weeks. We have already been taught many new skills and tools from
working with our patients. Our clinician, Frank Yurasek, PhD
(China), LAc, continuously shares knowledge and skills we haven't
learned elsewhere. The learning that occurs during this residency
is so rich. Many of the AOM residents feel the knowledge we gain
during our time at Stroger's seems equivalent to taking many
additional educational seminars. At times, we learn AOM techniques
and information we hadn't even imagined were possible. This
residency adds a new depth, perception, and application of AOM.
