Working with Dr.Shah at Cook County Hospital was a great opportunity for me. I attended the daily Anticoagulation Clinic evaluating the patients with different cardiovascular disorders and monitoring their INR accordingly.
I actively participated in interacting with patients, discussing cases with Dr. Shah regarding indications of treatment, follow up and updated recommendations on principles of Anticoagulation. During discussions, I also came to know about new anticoagulant drugs currently in use or which are still under research. I also learned dietary counseling of patients on anticoagulation therapy and how an effective counseling can improve the drug compliance.
One of the unique fact about Cook County is that it welcomes the patients

This premedical summer program was crucial to my understanding of human health and it afforded me with a totally new perspective on my future career as a physician: a desire to practice in an underserved area because I had a chance to witness the degree to which some citizens are in need of proper medical care and yet most of them have nowhere to go due to the lack of primary care offices in the area.
