This past year, I volunteered at Mount Carmel West Hospital. During my first semester, I was a visitor director. I was in charge of guiding incoming visitors throughout the hospital as well as delivering various supplies to different departments. My second semester, however, I volunteered in the Neurology Department. I was assigned numerous tasks, from organizing and restocking supplies, to making folders that held informative materials for incoming patients. Although the majority of my time was not directly related to the practice of medicine, I was exposed to a setting in which I hope to one day work in. My time spent in the neurology department allowed me to observe all of the different roles necessary to build an environment in which patients could be provided optimal treatment. From Registered Nurses (RN), to Patient Care Assistants (PCAs), to residents following their attending from patient rooms, I could witness how hospitals actually function on a day-to-day basis. My time spent volunteering at Mount Carmel West Hospital allowed me to garner an appreciation for all of the various roles that are crucial in order to sustain a cohesive workplace environment dedicated to the proper treatment of all and any incoming patients.
