Fogarty Innovation

Lefteroff Intern

June - August 2018 • Mountain View, CA

What I liked

This was an incredible summer experience. This internship is educational before anything else. I had the opportunity to sit in on many presentations, explore different incubators/companies on field trips, observe surgical procedures, and network with tons of people in medicine/medical devices. I got hands-on experience prototyping a venous closure device and learned how to 3-D print, heat seal, UV glue, and think like an engineer.

What I wish was different

Really nothing - it was better than expected.

Advice

It is difficult to find affordable housing in the Bay Area if you do not live in the area (which I did not)!

Lefteroff Summer Intern

June - August 2018 • Mountain View, CA

What I liked

You gain insight on everything needed to create a med-tech start up. The people you encounter have a wealth of knowledge and can aid you for the rest of your life. The most important aspects of this internship is the educational portions as well as the networking possibilities.

What I wish was different

It was not as technical as I had hoped, but you can make what you want of it.

Advice

I highly recommend this opportunity, but make sure to speak up about what you want out of it.
