Victor Strasburg on his time in Miller Week One: Well, week one is in the books here in Miller, SD and it’s been great. Brandon and I’s experience here began with a very warm welcome followed by a great tour around town. The tour was great because I’ve already needed to visit several of the local businesses to pick up things I forgot to bring with me. I hope to visit a few more of them during the coming weeks, especially the outdoor theatre. After our tour of town, I began shadowing in the clinic and it’s been great. The…

Tyler Chramosta on his time in Martin Week One: Rose our CNP told Joe and I that Friday nights can be very busy around town. She was correct in her statement as we had five ER visits, a code, and a couple ambulance trips. During the code, it was interesting to actually help run the crash cart, as this would be my job during a code when I finish my education. I was surprised to learn that Bennett County Hospital, as the closest hospital, is 45 minutes from some of its patients which influences emergency care. After one week at…

Danielle on her time in Hot Springs Week One: I arrived with my overly packed bags on Monday afternoon. As I pulled up to the clinic, my partner Kayla was messaging me that she was there as well.

Keri Baumberger on her time in Sturgis Week One: Our first week in Sturgis was quite the learning experience. We were able to meet with various departments to learn about their responsibilities as well as ask them questions. It was nice to learn about a different side of healthcare that we do not get instruction on in school. I was also given the opportunity to follow the MDs and PAs in both the ER and Inpatient hospital setting. I never knew a facility this size would have the variety that they do. Learning a ton of different things! Week Two:…
