I was able to be one on one with patients in taking their vitals, greeting them, and discussing any information they wished me to relay to the MA or Doctors. I loved developing relationships with patients as they would remember me everytime they came in. I also liked getting hands on experience in the field I hope to pursue.
What I wish was different
Nothing. As a volunteer, I understood the limit on my responsibilities and duties as I was not constantly supervised and had no actual medical degree/background. The amount of work given to me was good and the staff and patients were both kind to me.
Advice
When going into any medical volunteer/work/internship, be prepared to be on your feet at all times. The clinic was constantly busy and even if there was down time, there is always something to be done.

I wish I had been able to grow a wider variety of produce. I also wish that there was some way to see if the produce was increasing the the patients overall health.

I think that it was a great experience and it gave me a lot of insight into the different environments and communities that I otherwise may have never seen.
