鈥淚 am currently working on a project on trauma and acute surgical care in Nunavik with my supervisor and with the help of a general surgery resident. My current role is mainly to do chart reviews of medical records remotely for this project.
The most surprising aspect of the internship so far has been the fact that there is a great lack of research available on Indigenous populations. I am very excited to work with this population.鈥
