OVERVIEW

Rotation Class α and Rotation Class β members of the Crossroad Volunteer Internship Program are continuing to develop the program, complete tasks, and contribute to the mission of Crossroad Health Center (CRHC). The interns met on July 23 to develop various aspects of the projects they are involved with. Interns are managing enrollment for the Tobacco Treatment Class that will begin at CRHC in September and hope to create a system of counseling patients while in the exam room similar to that used for the Medicaid Family Planning Application. Rotation Class α and Rotation Class β members are looking forward to working with Dr. Sara Kleinschmidt and Dr. Lauren Wang in facilitating the Tobacco Treatment Classes. Interns are beginning to map out and plan for the various phases of reporting, tracking, and counseling for ACE. Project details, executive board information, class biographies, and more are now available on the new program blog: http://crossroadhc.blogspot.com/!

REFLECTIONS

“Standardization is crucial when trying to provide a high quality of care for patients. Providers need to be able to rely on us to have the materials they need to give to patients during visits”

- Teresa

“I did a wide variety of tasks from typing up papers to putting syringes together. It was awesome to see how versatile our VIP position really is and how much we really do help   - Nicki

“I made a lot of telephone calls to patients regarding their concerns about tobacco use and hopeful cessation of it...It made me want to advocate more for tobacco cessation. It got me excited about the new program starting at Crossroads and further affirmed that Crossroad Health Center is involved in their patients' lives and wants them to have a full, healthy life”  

- Vivian

“I think we made good progress in setting deadlines and plans that can be implemented for the many projects we are working on”   - Emily
