Volunteer Intern/Shadow | Dr. Margarita Vendrell
By
This summer, I had the privilege of completing a clinical internship under the mentorship of Dr. Margarita Vendrell, a Mayo Clinic alum. The experience offered me a deep and multifaceted introduction to family medicine, combining clinical exposure, patient interaction, and professional mentorship. Over the course of the internship, my responsibilities included shadowing patient consultations, observing outpatient procedures, attending case discussions, and assisting with administrative tasks that gave me a behind-the-scenes understanding of how a medical practice operates.
