Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

Support and guidance is massively rotation dependent. I was fortunate to experience two rotations in which questions (no matter how silly) were warmly welcomed and encouraged. I was also taught well how to model and to write report style information.
