Internship
Site Day- 12/3/15
On Wednesday December 3, 2015 I started my day off by going to a work meeting at 8 am in the morning. The meeting was held in a conference room where the presenter a psychiatrist explained chronic and long term pain, and it's effects and cures for it. After the half hour presentation we went back to the office where I interviewed my mentor about the internship program. The normal work day is very busy for my mentor, Will, who is a nurse practitioner at Owen Clinic. The work day consists of meeting 6-12 patients a day, with a break for lunch. Will is a health care provider for people with HIV, he takes care of their HIV by prescribing medication and educates them to how to prevent HIV. Some skills that required for this job are being good with people, listening, patient and non judgmental. Some advice to work here is to be ready to meet any type of people in every way. One of the project they do here is improving patient quality, evaluating strategies and out comes for patient care.
