HST Independent
Study Mentorship

a collegiate level research

They are required to turn in
weekly journals and activity logs.
Why I Chose Post-
operative Pain
Management
I chose the topic of post-
operative pain management
because it is something that
affects every patient.
My mentor sees patients with
minimal discomfort as well as
patients whose pain is constant
and severe.
I wanted to learn about different
types of treatment.
