Dr. Winter’s goal is to guide and assist the intern(s) towards medical school acceptance.

The intern(s) will have direct, independent patient contact to obtain the history of present illness (HPI) and learn to formulate a medical problem list. Patient interactions will far exceed those in medical training. The intern(s) will also be able to observe surgical procedures.
