Waynesburg junior Jamie Repa worked on the clinical side of the practice. Mrs. Hunter has directed and coordinated clinical services since 1982. One of the major changes she has witnessed is the increase in the number of patients daily. My philosophy is that you learn by doing in this position, says Hunter, and after one-week of shadowing me, Jamie was having direct patient contact. Every day I always started with a list of tasks that Jamie was to work on, but some days the routine isn t always routine.
Internships can be an eye-opener.
This was my first internship, and I wasn t sure what to expect. Every day was different, from gathering patient information, dressing wounds, removing staples, and pre-operative patient care. Mrs. Hunter explains things well. She really took me under her wing and yet let me do things on my own. I also did hospital rounds once a week.
