The past couple of months that I have been able to intern with Crossroad Health Center have been amazing. I have been able to share a piece of myself throughout many different activities in the clinic. My first rotation involved calling patients to help them schedule their appointments. I was specially focused on help Spanish speaker patients schedule their appointments for them due to some language barriers. Also, I was able to help with English-Spanish translation between doctors and patients. I am pretty happy with the opportunity because I was able to learn a lot of medical terminology while translating and developing new knowledge on how to perform several different physical examinations done in a day to day basis in hospital. During my second rotation I was able to be part of the Tobacco Treatment Group in here I was able to develop a lot of knowledge regarding tobacco use. In TTG I was able to weekly learn something new about the way tobacco affect the brain, the heart, skin, and several other organisms in the body. Also, I was able to learn about several techniques and trick to handle bad habits and improve everyday life. I am so happy because of the opportunity Crossroad Health Center has given me to learn more about the profession that I love, which is medicine. As a physician I hope to be able to impact the Medical Community in many positive way and hope to improve the Healthcare System in order to make it more accessible to everyone.
