Internship
Upon completing the Medical Assistant Program, I was offered an internship at WPH/SMG, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with pediatric and adult patients. During this internship, I assisted in preparing patients for routine and specialty examinations, maintained accurate medication and immunization records, and supported the examination of female patients, including observing pap smears. Additionally, I performed electrocardiograms (EKG’s) and observed venipuncture procedures, further developing my clinical skills. This opportunity allowed me to work closely with healthcare professionals and contribute to the efficient operation of the medical practice while ensuring high-quality patient care.
