Week 1, Day 5
Happy fifth day of your internship! Hope you all enjoyed our Thursday check-in meeting and the truths and lie game we played together! Let’s finish the week strong with our 5th Consensus Statement discussion and social hour!
We are looking forward to helping you get up to speed on the world of concussions in medicine and research while getting to know your fellow interns. You’ll have concussion curriculum every day, and we’ll spend time on remote teamwork and learning more about each other through social activities and group discussions. Toward the end of the week, you’ll get a chance to identify what summer projects you’re most interested in and get a chance to practice your science writing before writing for the newsletter next week.
