"I would highly recommend The Tankersley Clinic Winter Internship to anyone wishing to gain clinical experience. I was able to interact with patients, gather patient history, perform tests, and learn about the realities of working in a medical setting from the incredible staff at The Tankersley Clinic. I feel more prepared and excited for my future in medicine after my internship. It is a great opportunity and worth taking advantage of!"
