Orientation

Last Saturday, I went to the volunteer orientation. After going to it, I am interested to experience serving the underserved. From what I gathered from the instructor, serving at community centers calls for extra caution, vigilance, and understanding different from what I typically would use on a daily basis. Patient confidentiality is extremely important, so I must be careful with what and where information is disclosed when I am conversing with others. Also, personal items should be looked after vigilantly as well. In addition, though in a case where the patient has a problem that I know how to assist with, it is important to not automatically lend a hand, but to ask for medical assistance from the medical staff instead. Hopefully, I will officially be present at Gulfgate Health Center this Saturday morning!
