Philadelphia Members

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

One thing I hope to gain during my service term is experience working with different patient populations.

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 gain an even better knowledge of how the healthcare system works!

I would like to expand my knowledge of the communities that I will be working with and learn how to adjust my skillset to best fit their needs, specifically communication.

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

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

I'm hoping to improve my Spanish skills and gain better knowledge of insurance and health care system during my time with NHC Philly.

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

I hope to improve my critical thinking and problem solving skills as I work with families to overcome the various challenging barriers to accessible healthcare.
