 Christina Hobgood Surgical Technology Christina always liked the intensity of operating rooms on TV. But real life? “I think I really loved the idea of patient contact and being a patient’s advocate.” Her clinical experiences helped Hobgood realize she prefers a smaller, quieter atmosphere. A month before she graduated last summer, Hobgood received a job offer from Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Surgical Center. |
