The program gave Robinson multiple opportunities to observe medical professionals. She completed office observations with Dr. Michael Ouzts, a primary care/family medicine physician with McLeod Primary Care in Turbeville. Robinson also observed Dr. Rodney Alan, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in robotic-assisted surgery, including hip and knee surgery, at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence.
Robinson’s summer experiences also included an in-depth examination of diabetes in the context of race, public health, class, and heredity. She is also preparing to take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test).
