Michelle Wittler, SR. Chemistry, is interning with Allergy Asthma, Rheumatology Treatment Specialists (A.R.T.S.) in Amarillo, TX.

What are some of your daily tasks for your internship?
I mostly follow the providers (doctors and nurse practitioners) and see how they come to a differential diagnosis with all of the patients. We also discuss how healthcare works in this country with the proper schooling and the in's and out's of insurance.

How will your internship help prepare you post-graduation?
I plan to get my Masters in public health and go to medical school to specialize in emergency medicine. The information that I’ve learned from this internship will be invaluable to me along this journey
in becoming a doctor.
This year, 17 high school students from across the state of Texas attended TCFA Feedyard Camp June 22-25. This camp is hosted by West Texas A&M University Department of Agricultural Sciences, TCFA and Texas AgriLife. Many faculty and staff members in the WTAG department had a hand in being involved. During the camp, the students received hands-on opportunities in all facets of the cattle feeding industry. They were also able to network with industry leaders and travel to feedlots in the area to increase their knowledge of beef cattle.
