The Arthrex Internship Experience: An Inside Look

I lived across the street from Arthrex my entire life, but I would always just see the signs and not really know, like what this place really is or what they do there. So whenever I saw them on LinkedIn, I decided to actually look into it and dig deeper. As a college student, you always have the fear of, you know, am I going to have an opportunity? Are there people looking for my services? I really had no idea they had anything production related before I even saw the LinkedIn post about this internship. I guess in my head I thought everything was just medically based. Really, my main job is just to learn as much as I can. My team's been great at teaching me all the aspects on how to be successful in product management. And passionate about research, so I would say that's what really captured me to work at Arthrex. On a typical day, I work with a multidisciplinary group of engineers designing and testing different tools in radiofrequency ablation. I am currently part of the product development team for Extremities and Trauma. I'd say product development is more on the side of the design process of making the orthopedic devices, implants, instruments that are going to be used within each specific procedure. Sometimes I'm in the market for helping with surgical techniques, and sometimes I'm in virtual production doing bigger shoots When I'm not doing any type of filming, I'm at my desk working on edits on premiere. I would say that Arthrex gives a lot of trust to the interns, especially in the lab. We work with a lot of different equipment. Being able to go to the lab with multiple different people, and them taking time out of their days to help us understand different procedures. They've been very patient and helpful with helping us understand all the different equipment and techniques. As a summer associate, you're expected to be, well, communicating, be motivated, and most importantly, be proactive. Day to day I'm working with the in-house studios. I'm bringing an HR application to countries in Apex such as Australia, Singapore. So my day has been filled with that. I'd say the responsibilities that Arthrex has given me as an intern is equal or more than my past internships. I was introduced and invited into all the team meetings and not only just sit in and listen, but I also get to give my ideas. And they took those ideas and brought them and are actually making changes on the design based on things that I brought up in the meeting. At the very beginning of the summer, I reached out to the interns from the media production team, and I proposed this idea and create a project to represent the interns here at Arthrex. Right now, I'm currently working on a project discussing the internship experience, and it's been a really fun project just to see everyone's departments and have something that's made by the interns and is for the interns. Not only have I learned a lot about anatomy and different arthrex products and techniques, and how to use them in the lab, I would say I've learned a lot of professional skills in general. Something else that I've learned throughout this internship is just the technical skills that I would never learn in school. The most valuable piece of information that I could give to someone is going to be an intern, is you get out of it what you put into it. Not only will you get a better experience out of it, you might get hired full time, as many of the employees here will always tell you. So from the internship experience, I've learned how to just handle an extremely wide set of skills that I'll definitely take with me going back into school.
