Paul Hom Asian Clinic Experience
Another internship that prepared me for graduate school is through my internship at Paul Hom Asian Clinic (PHAC), which provided me an opportunity to be the cultural bridge between the doctor and the patient through my proficiency in Cantonese. I have gained a more interconnected perspective on how to interact with professionals and how to interact with patient populations from different area including adult and geriatric. Since UC Davis emphasizes on diversity, I am able to contribute to the team. I am able to understand the cultural and language barriers that many Asian American and immigrant Asian face and be able to provide insight to my team through my experience as an Asian and through what I have learned from my patients at PHAC including

    A Las 102 Transfer Research Paper

    A LAS 102 Transfer Advantage intern should be familiar with other cultures. This campus is diverse and filled with individuals from all parts of the U.S. and the world. Interns should be aware of social differences and respect one another’s perspectives. The ways I would make everyone feel included is to make sure everyone feels welcome. I would make it clear that all opportunities are for all students, no matter their diversity. For those struggling to find their place, I will refer them to culture houses and organizations. For some individuals, it can be overwhelming attending a large institution with a large diverse population. Individuals in my class will engage in-group discussion every day. Each time they must talk with someone they haven’t…

    Personal Narrative: Lettuce Live Well

    Throughout my high school experience, the one memory I remember the most that helped me the most would have to be the time I interned at a local non-profit, Lettuce Live Well. I decided that I needed to encounter more challenges in my life; as if my life wasn’t challenging enough. I decided to work with a non-profit because I knew I would get all the experience I can get while getting to work head on with the local community; this was what made it all worth it. The one place that I found I can get the most experience while still connecting with the local community was an organization call Lettuce Live Well.…

    Social Work Field Observation Report

    However, it actually turned out that I had more in common with my African-American roommate, who was also came from a low-income household in Southern California, than I did with my 3rd generation Mexican-American roommate who came from a middle-class suburban city. I had no idea the impact that different generations and cultural differences outside of race have the ability to make until I actually experienced it. Thanks to this experience, I feel my culturally competency expanded to new horizons. As a social worker, I plan to take what I have learned from my experience and education of the transcultural perspective that San Jose State’s mission has established and practice it with people I work with. This will be one of the many ways I plan on contributing to the profession to promote social justice as well as advocate for the communities who consistently face oppression and social…

    Diversity in Healthcare

    Have you ever been to the doctor and don't quite understand what the provider is telling you, or are you a healthcare worker and you don't understand your patients? Should the healthcare provider get diversity training or should they maybe learn new languages?

    I would like to tell you that my day in the program was unique because it let me explore the program in depth. I am working at the Cleveland clinic as an English-Arabic healthcare interpreter and I feel the warm atmosphere between all the people in the hospital every day. Being in the hospital to facilitate the communication between the patients with limited English proficiency and the physicians made my dream of being a resident at the Cleveland Clinic grow within me. Those bilingual encounters made me familiar with the hospital departments where I had to work as a team with different staff, nurses and lab technicians to make sure that we provide the highest quality of care to the patients. Furthermore, I had a new friend waiting for me in…
