Reviews

Health Education Clinical Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 San Francisco, CA
“I had the invaluable opportunity to be exposed to the underprivileged, underserved population of SF Chinatown. I gained skills in constructing health care material and public information that is catered towards the target population. I improved my Chinese language skills when translating, interpreting, and interacting with the Asian population. Some specific things I did was checking and troubleshooting blood pressure and blood glucose. I also learned about public health as a healthcare field and understanding my growing interest in it. ”
