On Wednesday, March 15, representatives from 25 hospitals from around the country met with first and second year medical students at the 1^st  Hospital Day held on LECOM Bradenton’s campus.

According to OMSII Lauren Burns the event was extremely helpful as she plans her 4^th year rotations and considers her residency options.  “Hospital Day was an excellent way to make connections and learn what various hospitals have to offer,” said Burns.  “You can go online all you want, but until you talk to someone face to face, you don’t really get a feel for what that hospital can do for you or what you can do for it.”
