First Day at the Medical Library & Cushing Center



My first day at Cushing Center was exciting. I got to meet Charles Greenberg who is the coordinator of curriculum and research support. First I received a basic overview of the chili internship. Then, I got to meet the library staff, and I received a tour of the library which was very informative and interesting. I got to see how books were organized for efficiency. My favorite part of the tour was visiting Harvey Cushing's collection of brain tumors; it was interesting to see actual brain tumors from his patients and to read about these brain tumors. After the overall tour, I had to come up with interview questions. I even had the chance to interview Mr. Greenberg. From my interview with him, I can conclude that Mr. Greenberg is passionate about his career, and he enjoys teaching. Also, he favors a collaborated teamwork because more things can be accomplished. The people he works with is what makes his work more worthwhile as well as the students he teaches. As you can see, my first day couldn't have been any better, I gain a lot of knowledge about the library as well as the staff that worked there.
