During the first week of the NEOREMA™ summer internship, we
learned about diabetes by working alongside professionals and
educators from Cleveland Clinic and Cuyahoga Community
College. Course offerings included daily workshops on diabetes:
Workshop #1: Diabetes Overview
•
The diabetes overview for me was not interesting to learn
about
•
I felt this way because I was already familiar with most of the
information presented
Workshop #3: Diabetes and Nutrition:
•
The diabetic nutrition workshop was the most informative
workshop to learn about
•
The proportions of food seemed ridiculously small compared
to the amount of food I consume and it really gave me a wake
up call on choosing a healthier lifestyle
Workshop #4: Diabetes Management :
•
Learn about diabetes management in this workshop and
learned a lot about the overview on diabetes and there was a
lot of information discussed on that topic
Other workshops and activities and learning outcomes
included:
• Diabetic Foot Care
• SIM Center-Mock OR hands-on tour
• Use of the Cleveland Clinic library facilities
• Volunteering at the Farmers market
• Yoga as exercise and relaxation
We had the opportunity to visit healthcare professionals and
Science Internship Program students in their work

Healthcare Careers Session that shared information about other
healthcare careers with us.
In the Therapeutic Use of Self Self-Development Seminar we
learned:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Having a high emotional intelligence(EQ) is a lot better than
having a high intellectual intelligence(IQ)
Getting to know yourself is highly important in life
Being able to understand others is great for communication
and being able to build up strong relationships with people
If you are in a toxic relations it is good to get out of it or else
the situation will get worse
In the Interactive Simulation Diabetic Case study we interacted
and learned from representatives in the following healthcare
career areas and the roles they play in caring for individuals with
diabetes:
•
•
My experience with learning Ophthalmology – Optical
Dispensary was very interesting. I did not know that
diabetics should have an eye exam every year and how
many different instruments were used in conducting tests on
the eyes
Emergency Medicine was my absolute favorite field to learn
about because I realized that paramedics had to be able to
quickly think on their toes and had to deal with so many
emergencies yet remain calm
The Human Patient Simulator Lab – Nursing, Medical
Laboratory Technology, Biomedical Technology was a
creative lab. We visited multiple stations set up and learned
about the different specialties each PA focused on. I really
enjoyed learning to how put an incubator in a patient
I really enjoyed the Preventative Care Clinic – Medical
Assisting, Occupational Therapy, Dietetic Consulting mostly
because occupational therapy really coped with everyone’s
schedule and it seemed as if were a job that cared for the
conformity of the patient
In the Interactive Healthcare Careers Session we learned about
careers in:
•
Radiography primarily focused on the inside of the body
and how different scans and tests were developed to
diagnose various types of diseases, such as cancer,
and I thought it was cool to see how much technology is
advancing so rapidly
•
•
Electroneurodiagnostic Technology was definitely one
of my top choices now that I’ve had this lab because the
brain is such an interesting organ to learn about
Polysomnography was shocking to me because I didn’t
realize how many interesting things took place in sleep
Respiratory Care Therapy was a field that was open to
help people with all types of diseases so I liked that it
wasn’t limited
The Nuclear Medicine Technology wasn’t my favorite lab
because the field didn’t interest me
Diagnostic Medical Sonography was another one of my
favorite labs because we actually did ultra sounds on
ourselves and we had the opportunity to see a fetus in a
belly
The Veterinary Technology was hard to do so I didn’t like
the fact that it didn’t come easy for me
Sport and Exercise Studies was easy to listen to
especially since I’m active and play sports
We had two final projects that we worked on in small groups
divided by the age range our projects were to focus on:
Creation of a Health cereal & Cereal Box
mock-up (by assigned age range)
•
I loved the idea of the project
•
It allowed me to get creative
•
Creation of an educational pamphlet about diabetes (by
assigned age range)
•
It challenged me to be informative yet very friendly for our
particular age group
•
It was fun to complete and I worked well with my group
mates to finish it

Human Anatomy (Continued):
We learned how to culture, collect samples, and conduct accurate
research which was very helpful because I will always need to
know those skills in science
We created slides and stain mediums
We gained a basic understanding of microbes in the environment
We learned how cells exist ubiquitously and how they help
human life
Numerous reading and writing assignments were used to
familiarize us with the kind of research done by
microbiologists/microbial ecologists, and to get us acquainted
with reading science articles and scientific writing
For a final project, we each created a short PowerPoint
presentation. We were required to use primary literature as the
main resource for this presentation.

Kent State University
The last two weeks of the NEOREMA™ summer internship
consisted of a residential program at Kent State University. We
lived on campus while we participated in two college-level
courses:
Human Anatomy:
•
We dissected a heart, brain, and a kidney, these were all
parts from animals of course. I personally didn’t like the
dissections because I was terrified of touching any of the
organs.
•
We had lectures almost everyday describing different units
of basic biology and I felt that it was very informational and
informative
•
I was taught about laboratory etiquette and safety and
what was appropriate to do and wear during labs
•
•
•
•
We learned so much about how the world affected so many
people and how some were separated because of their
labels
We read many different readings that described people that
were considered “sane” or “not sane” and the way they
treated both types of people
This class was probably my favorite because I enjoyed the
deeps conversations and debates that we had in class as
we talked about the different articles we read
Taught us how to write arguments that defend a thesis
We learned how to identify and apply rhetorical techniques
in or to writing
We improved our ability to read critically
We read and discussed essays about “diversity” issues to
gain understandings of different viewpoints, to experience
different forms of writing, and to understand the relationship
between “facts” and their contexts
We gained an understanding of the ethical dimensions of
writing and of language
We practiced a variety of planning, drafting, revising, and
editing techniques
We practiced orally stating and defending ideas to others
We each prepared our own multimodal project that reflected
the overall goals of the “Writing for Science” course

College. Course offerings included daily workshops on diabetes:
We had the opportunity to visit healthcare professionals and
Science Internship Program students in their work environments
and learn about a variety of healthcare careers and research
including:
• Radiography: We discovered about the wonders of radiology
and how it would help us in our daily lives. It taught us that we
would be able to help persons with diabetes by using waves to
understand the human body.
•
Electroneurodiagnostic Technology: We tested a few of
the machines of Electroneurodiagnostics by hooking up a
teacher with some wires and comprehending how the testing
affected his hand.
•
Nuclear Medicine Technology; This was interesting to
learn about because it comes with a lot of precautions.
However, it was fascinating to understand how radiation
effects the body and how it can be used to help others.
•
Diagnostic Medical Sonography: We learned more about
ultrasounds and how they use waves to find objects in the
body. Using gel and some instruments, you are able to see
inside of the body which was really insightful to all of us.
•
Veterinary Technology: We learned how to suture and help
animals and humans. It was an exciting experience because
we were able to learn how to apply medicine to both animals
and humans.
•
Sport and Exercise Studies: With the physical therapist,
we used some techniques shown by the patient and the
therapist used to combat diabetes and prevent it from
happening to others.
We had two final projects that we worked on in small groups
divided by the age range our projects were to focus on:
Creation of a Health cereal & Cereal Box
mock-up (by assigned age range)
•
Working as a team, we were able to think of our ingredients
for our cereal. Nutrition-filled items like whole oats,
blueberries, strawberries, and almonds was our main target
and we feel like we did an excellent job preparing our fiber
filled meal.
Creation of an educational pamphlet about diabetes (by
assigned age range)
•
Taking all of our information from the seminars that we
listened to , we collected all of that information into one
intelligent pamphlet. Using all of this information, we were
able to create a pamphlet that would easily show the
statistics and facts of diabetes.
Workshop #1: Diabetes Overview
•
With the help of some professionals from Cleveland Clinic ,
we were able to understand diabetes a little easier and put
the knowledge into our pamphlet.
•
We were able to understand that glucose is energy
•
Glucose also needs help going into the cells.
•
It lets sugar into the cells for energy
•
Beta cells produce insulin
Workshop #3: Diabetes and Nutrition:
•
With the correct foods, we learn how someone with diabetes
can learn how to manage their diet
•
Pancreases releases insulin (key to let the sugar into the
cells)
•
Cells need sugar in order to get energy
•
When sugar enter bloodstreams, pancreas lets insulin into
the blood
•
Once sugar entered the cells, insulin secretion stopped
•
If insulin isn’t available for the blood sugar a condition called
diabetes arose.
•
It’s extremely important for younger students to have
mentors/role models to look up to, especially young, minority
women. This is why it is strongly encouraged that mentors
help our blooming, young healthcare providers and ensure
that they enhance their futures positively.
•
The older mentors really had an affirmative impact on the
younger students because they were able to teach the
students about the influence of the Cleveland Clinic.
At Tri-C we participated in a Self-Development Seminar, an
Interactive Simulation Diabetic Case Study which involved
caring for a non-compliant diabetic patient and an Interactive
Healthcare Careers Session that shared information about other
healthcare careers with us.
In the Therapeutic Use of Self Self-Development Seminar we
learned:
•
•
•
Other workshops and activities and learning outcomes included:
• SIM Center-Mock OR Hands-on Tour: This experience was
truly fascinating and an amazing experience to have as a
bunch of future healthcare providers. It was truly interesting to
learn about all of the instruments and what was needed to
keep the entire area sterile.
• Use of the Cleveland Clinic Library Facilities: The CC Libraries
were truly wonderful for the entire community. Not only did
they help with finding resources and different books from
across the globe, they also offered a quiet, unique spot for us
all to collaborate on
• Volunteering at the Farmers Market: Seeing all the different
communities and cultures coming together at the Cleveland
Clinic Farmers Market was really exciting because it allowed
us to think about what our unique cultures could offer the
Cleveland Clinic Community
• Yoga As Exercise and Relaxation: Even though it was difficult,
yoga was really important because focusing and thinking
about the correct positions and poses really made you realize
and comprehend your emotions and how you processed the
information given when you were at your most vulnerable
state.
•
•
Mr. Hector Merced was our instructor for the SelfDevelopment Seminar
We learned about Emotional Intelligence and how it relates
to our emotions and abilities to understand, interpret, and
respond to the emotions of others
We shared our experiences as a team under the name of
Robert & Friends
We worked together to understand that we must be selfaware of our emotions, have self-management skills, be
socially aware of our surroundings, and maintaining healthy
relationships and managing them.
We split into groups and talked about the important of
maintaining a healthy EQ and not to focus too much on the
IQ.
In the Interactive Simulation Diabetic Case study we interacted
and learned from representatives in the following healthcare
career areas and the roles they play in caring for individuals with
diabetes:
•
•
•
•
Mr. Bob Madison introduced us to Tri-C and to our case
study, Carly, who was a Type 2 Diabetic
Ophthalmology: We went here for a bit and explored
everything about ophthalmology and the tools used to assist
the process. Carly had some blurry vision so we fixed it up
here.
Emergency Medicine: Carly, unfortunately, had a stroke
and we had to do a bit of CPR on her but she got laid to rest.
Preventative Care Clinic: Dieticians came in and spoke
with us about our diets and what we could do to prevent
Type 2 Diabetes.

We had the opportunity to visit healthcare professionals and
Science Internship Program students in their work environments
and learn about a variety of healthcare careers and research
including:
Workshop #1: Diabetes Overview
• Angela Wilson conducted the first workshop and educated the
interns on the basics of diabetes
• Learned the importance of blood glucose control
• Diabetes is a metabolic disease with no known cure
• Mrs. Wilson described insulin as a key to a door. The key opens
the cells so glucose may enter.
• The absence of this key causes sugar to invade the blood stream
thus causing hyperglycemia
• Complications of uncontrolled diabetes are kidney failure,
hypertension, impaired vision, neuropathy, cardiac disease, and
more.
Workshop #2: Diabetes and Nutrition:
• Dr. David L. Hassenzahl educated the group on essential
nutrients that must be included in a diabetic’s daily diet as well as
some specifics behind the auto-immune disorder.
• In Type 1 diabetes, the body mistakenly attacks the cells that
make insulin, commonly known as beta cells.
• Dr. Hassenzahl also disproved a common belief; Exercise can
lower blood glucose. He explained that although this may be true if
sugar levels are below 240, it is dangerous to exercise above this
level and may cause the creation of ketones.
• The inclusion of protein in a diet is crucial for people with
diabetes
• Diabetics should also avoid the consumption of trans fats, and
saturated fats should be below 10%
• No more than 2,300 mg of sodium should be ingested per day
Other workshops and activities and learning outcomes included:
•SIM Center-Mock OR hands-on tour
