GMI Student Blogs
One last ‘Pura Vida’
Wow I can’t believe this is the last blog of summer! While I have loved my time here, I am so excited to get home and see my family and friends for a couple days before hopping in the car for a nice 20-hour drive down to Houston. My last days at my internship have...
Fully Supplied with Knowledge & Memories
Our last week is underway and I have a lot to look forward to! I am excited to see my family and road trip from New York to Houston with my sister. I’m eager to get started on our design and implementation projects and I am looking forward to getting settled in and...

Musings on VR Implementing Experience
Going through this week, my main focus was on the clinical implementation projects for this coming year. Our team met to discuss the MilkyWaves project, which Hannah and Christine are leading, with local contacts here in Costa Rica. Hearing more about the project, how...
Swinging Through Summer (and Monteverde)
Wow, we only have two weeks left in Costa Rica! The summer has gone by so fast, but I am starting to get homesick and am ready to see my family again before moving down to Houston. Last week, Annie and I got to start doing some testing for our guidewire test method...
Flying Through Summer
