This morning, I had my interview with Christie Caldwell. I was surprised, in a good way, at her responses and the way that she presented herself. She was extremely down to Earth and made the interview feel more like a conversation between a student and a teacher. I think the reason for that is due to her having a career change not too long ago, from being a AP Biology and Physiology teacher to being a physician assistant specializing in spine. She said that she just started working at the UT Southwestern hospital in Frisco in January, but when I talked to her, the lack of experience was not apparent compared to the other neurosurgeons. Out of the things she said, what she emphasized the most was how much flexibility being a physician assistant can have and the fact that she was more happy because she decided to become a physician assistant instead of a surgeon. She also talked a bit about what kinds of patients she can see, and what I thought was interesting was when she talked about tumors developing on or in the spine. She also was wanting to do research, and we were able to discuss some of her topics of interest during the interview too. As for surgeries, I cannot recall the name of the spinal surgery she told me about but I will listen back to the interview later when I write my assessment. I am extremely grateful to Christie Caldwell and cannot express that enough. I'm excited to have 'Five Interviews Done and Many More to Come.'
