I desire to complete this work experience due to the great learning opportunity it presents. The experience to learn about neuroscience, surgery and trauma will be both extremely fascinating and beneficial to me as an aspiring medic. I have a deep rooted interest in the biology of the human body and this work experience provides a great opportunity to increase my knowledge. I am also excited to receive the opportunity visit a professional laboratory and understand the functioning of one. This is mainly due to my desire to pursue research as well, in the future as medical professional. The work experience covers many different areas of human biology and presents a unique learning experience, I would love to be able to partake in this course.
