    I do not currently work in industry, and unfortunately during my undergrad I did not get any internship opportunities. I did however shadow an orthopedic surgeon during my time as an undergrad which provided me some direct insight into how the medical field and the biomedical field symbiotically interact. Due to this experience I believe that a matrix organization would be the best fit for me. The combination between functionality and project based work I believe is something I deal well with. This primarily has to do with the grid organizational structure that characterizes a matrix company. I believe this allows for the highest level of collaboration between employees working in a company, and personally I believe that the more collaboration the better things are done. I also think this is better suited for me because although you have a project manager they will be involved with the project and give more hands on help in a matrix organization, which I believe is ultimately the best way to work together with someone. Lastly, I believe that matrix organization allows for the highest level of personal growth and this is something that appeals to me as well.
