“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.”

“My day-to-day involves managing the operations of a clinical immunology laboratory. My group specializes in the development, qualification, and validation of vaccine and immunotherapeutic response assays for the testing of samples from subjects in vaccine clinical trials. Much of my time bounces back and forth between organizing the staff for their daily activities, reviewing data, and writing scientific documents. I also spend time ensuring the materials (virus and controls), equipment, paperwork, and facilities are meeting the regulatory guidelines necessary for data generated for submission to the FDA.”

BS, Nursing, University of Texas
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 multi-system 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.

Private Practice, Clinical Psychologist

University of Virginia PhD, Clinical Psychology, University of Houston
Prior Employer: TIRR Memorial Hermann
I am a clinical psychologist and I have been in private practice for about a year. In my practice, I treat adolescents and adults. I specialize in adjustment to major medical conditions, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and trauma. In addition to delivering services, I spend a fair amount of time on the “”business side”” of the practice, which involves networking with other professionals, marketing my services, and other administrative tasks. I have additional positions at Baylor College of Medicine in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department as the Pain Psychologist and The Orchard on the Brazos Residential treatment center for substance abuse as a staff psychologist where I conduct group and individual therapy. This mix allows me to have the autonomy of owning my own practice while still having the opportunity to work on a team with other healthcare professionals.
