Application Update and Program Information

Everything is submitted for Calgary and Marquette....so now I wait for final decisions to be made and to receive program details (ie dates, etc) before I can move ahead with booking my flights and such.

So this NARETI Program...

• NARETI = North American Consortium on Rehabilitation Engineering and Technology for the Individual (mouthful, right - this is why the program is referred to as NARETI!) 
• Schools involved: Marquette University, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Calgary - Canada, University of Toronto - Canada, University of Guadalajara - Mexico, and Tecnologico De Monterrey - Mexico.
• What is the program/how it works (from the University of Calgary Website on NARETI):
• Focus: increase awareness among BMEs of the differences and similarities of rehabilitative healthcare in North America
• Program Goals:
• Increase study abroad opportunities within North America
• Enhance technology/knowledge transfer to lead to innovative approaches to healthcare delivery withing North America
• Pave way for development of accessible innovations that meet individual needs

• My Program Plans:
• Studying at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jan - May 2015
• Taking four courses and applying to work with research/clinical internship
• I'll have more information once Calgary officially accepts me into the program and sends me more details :)

I'll keep this updated as much as possible! 

Thanks for following me on this once-in-a-lifetime experience and adventure! I can't wait to see what it has in store for me!!
