Clinic Field Experience

Improved Essays
Over the summer of 2017, I was able to experience what it would be like to use my hidden-inner outspoken personality by volunteering for a doctors' clinic. Given the opportunity to be able to shape my character unintentionally was new yet different at the same time. This may seem small compared to many, yet this was extremely significant towards my social skills. During the three weeks I volunteered for the clinic, I was able to accommodate and get adjusted to the new environment. The first 2 days were nerve-racking as again not being used to the environment made me feel uneasy yet after being given more responsibility, diving in felt like I've been working at the clinic for years.

In your June 29, 2016 letter, you contend that the hospital lien filed in regard to the services your client received at the Hospital’s emergency department (“ED”) on March 17, 2016 was fraudulent because Mr. Smith was never “admitted” to the Hospital.

    As a lifelong resident of the Napa Valley I have always admired Clinic OLE'S dedication to the community. For many of us in the community "La Clinica Ole" was the only medical resource available, not only for its affordability, but also from a cultural/language comfort aspect. The doctors and staff were the only ones that offered the community a safe place where they could be cared for. It has been wonderful to witness how Clinic Ole has developed over the years, from a small traveling operation to its current sites and multiple locations. I understand the demand is still high and the need for expansion is still needed, and I would like to be part of it and help the organization meet its goals.…

    The Keirsey Report asked good questions to really help me think about what kind of person I really am. I concentrated on the wording of the questions, as you went further along I felt I could see the flow of the questions. Then I realized the questions were not asking me the same thing just worded differently, each question was truly different. Each question really made me question the scenario, and try to place myself in such a scenario. I would ask my 16-year-old son, and my husband what they thought and several times we had same answers.…

Making a conscious effort to be aware of those, I do not generally interact with but at the same time not making it obvious I see a difference in their appearance. This can include patients from another culture by being culturally sensitive to their needs as a way providing quality care. The next strategy I can take is by overcoming my shyness and approach people from different cultures to form relationships or build a rapport. I need to watch someone with charisma to see how he or she interact with people and apply that to my personal situation.…

I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. Before my first semester started, I read books on body language, small talk, humor, and self-confidence. When my friends and I went hiking, to the mall, or to parties, I made myself talk to people I didn’t know.…
