Weekly Report (1/19-1/25)

During this week in ISM I have completed my eighth research assessment, contacted a few cardiologists, and begun analyzing my original work survey data. For my eight research assessment I analyzed an article about how revolutionary device has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure among patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure compared to those treated with usual drug measures. The device developed my ROX Medical and named the Coupler is a paper clip sized implant which is inserted between the artery and vein in the upper thigh. Also this week I contacted a few cardiologists to plan to ask for a mentorship. One of the cardiologists agreed for a mentorship but then declined the next day so I needed to contact some more cardiologists quickly in case the final two cardiologists I will ask decline for a mentorship. I already contacted three cardiologists for a mentorship, two declined and one is pending. I have an email ready for one more person to ask for a mentorship in case the present cardiologist declines and I have emailed a few cardiologists to ask for a research interview in case the final few cardiologists decline. Hopefully I will find a mentor very soon so that I can began my tasks with him. This week has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.
