Interning at the Marin Community Clinics

I intern at the Marin Community Clinics in Greenbrae. There are three clinics in Marin, one in Greenbrae, one in San Rafael, and one in Novato. These clinics offer low cost medical services to low income patients. I work in the referrals department with a man named Javier. He is the head of the department, and is young so he is easy to relate too which makes working there even more enjoyable. During my internship time I make appointments, file referrals, create demograhics, etc. This internship is really exciting for me because I want to go into the medical feild after college, so this is really good exposure for me. I applied to all of my colleges as a pre-nursing major so it is really nice to get to see what goes on inside a medical clinic. This internship is really rewarding for me because I get to work along side doctors and nurses that work so hard to provide quality care to the patients in need. It is also really rewarding for me to actually get to work with some of the patients because I get to learn so much about them, and get to really know some of them when I am working with them. So far this internship is going really well for me other than the fact that sometimes my mentors are a little bit flakey and don’t communicate too well with each other. So sometimes I get to my internship only to find that my mentor doesn’t work that day. So that is hard, but all of the other good times definately make up for those few bad times. Hopefully my internship will keep going well, and I will continue to be allowed to do more and more as I have these past few months!
