During the past few weeks, I have continued to work on completing my presentation materials and final paper. Doing fairly well at the IR/Mentorship Conference, I have continually added to my knowldge base of stents and other non-invasive cardiac treatments. I also now have a final, edited copy of my powerpoint and hope to present it to a group of researchers at my Mentor's work site within the next few weeks. I haev contacted Dr. Karanian asking what he would prefer me to do in terms of finishing my paper or evaluation first. I also have looked into the possibility of continuing to "Intern" at the facility and continue my research on stents with Dr. Karanian. In the past few weeks, i have continually read and reviewed new artcle, and have completed some annotations. I will have to continue reviewing articles in my current library of research, and finalize all my annotations, whihc should be updated within the next two weeks or so. Overall, I will continue to finalize my research within the coming weeks and focus on the development of a mentorship with Dr. Karanian.
