Leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and collaborations with healthcare providers, the department drives research into imaging methodologies, aiming to improve early diagnosis, patient outcomes, and the overall efficiency of healthcare systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What was your biggest achievement on your internship?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I presented at the United Kingdom Imaging and Oncology Conference (UKIO)&nbsp;where I was awarded the UKIO Academic Bursary and where I also won the Society and College of Radiographers Forder Memorial Prize for the best proffered paper presentation by a Student Radiographer. I now understand what it takes to pursue research in my area and how to communicate this. I have learnt about different research methods, data analysis and understanding and facilitated Public Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Were there any challenges and how did you overcome these?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think balancing the exam period alongside the busy upcoming conference presentation was the most challenging part of this role. My supervisors were very understanding of this and I was still able to produce highly graded exam results and an award winning presentation!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Would you recommend this internship scheme to other students?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes I would recommend the A2i scheme to other eligible students as it can lead to further career opportunities. Since finishing this project I have gone on to secure an internship in Public Health research with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to find out more about the A2i scheme, you can contact the team via a2i@exeter.ac.uk.
