Philadelphia Members

This year I hope to get a better understanding of the health care system, skills in communication, and in health education.

During my service term I hope to improve my Spanish fluency and communication skills.

During my term with NHC Philly I hope to gain the skills to work to aid those from backgrounds/with experiences I'm unfamiliar with

Some skills I'm hoping to gain and improve this service year are navigating the healthcare system, understanding how a community health center works, and improving interpersonal skills with patients

Since I want to become a social worker eventually, I hope to gain more skills and experience working with vulnerable populations in a healthcare setting

Some skills I'm hoping to learn during my service term are Spanish fluency (specifically speaking skills), advocacy, and policy making.

I hope to continue to develop culturally sensitive communication skills during my service term. I also hope to learn more strategies for remaining adaptable and resilient in the face of challenges.

During the service term, I am hoping to further develop my communication skills with patients and community members coming from diverse backgrounds and holding different perspectives than myself. Additionally, I am really excited to become engaged in and serve the Philadelphia community, learning more about the inner workings of their health care system.

I hope to pratice spanish language skills. I also hope to develop new ways of record keeping and making it more habitual.

Working one on one with individuals and community members in a professional setting and improving my interpersonal communication especially with individuals who come from diverse backgrounds, are my goals for the service term.
