“A day in the life of a cardiology fellow can vary a lot from month to month. Certain rotations are inpatient focused, and we treat patients admitted to the hospital or cardiac ICU. Some rotations will be focused on procedures such as cardiac catheterization or electrophysiology, while others are all about imaging interpretation of echocardiograms, cardiac MRIs, and nuclear stress tests. Our daily schedule changes significantly depending on the rotation.”

“As a PA, I work one-on-one with a supervising physician seeing patients in clinic and first assisting in the operating room. In clinic, I see patients for their preop and post-op visits and perform small procedures including tissue expansions and wound debridements. In the operating room, I am very hands on throughout each case, and I assist with taking skin grafts and closing surgical sites.”

MS, Orthotics & Prosthetics, Baylor College of Medicine

“In orthotics and prosthetics, our goal is improving and restoring mobility. In prosthetics we are working to build and replace a limb that is missing; in orthotics we are working to help strengthen or support a weak, or otherwise concerning, limb. I work mostly as a pediatric orthotist, so I see many kiddos with Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Down Syndrome, etc., working on orthotic bracing with the goal of improving their gait and stability. I see 8-12 patients per day and do the evaluation, design, fabrication, fitting, and follow up of these devices. Typically, I spend two days/week in the clinic and two days/week in the community either doing home visits or working in a physical therapy office with other members of the team.”

“As a Pediatric ICU nurse at the first Level 1 Trauma Center in the Texas Medical Center, every day at the hospital is different. I care for infants born with heart defects requiring surgery and children who have suffered from multisystem trauma, neurologic conditions, and respiratory illnesses. Caring for critically ill children is a hands-on job and includes managing their medications and ventilators, participating in bedside surgeries and procedures, collaborating with physicians on care plans, and performing a variety of life-saving treatments and therapies.”
