This time during my volunteer opportunity I continued helping the IT department to find the medical records software. I spend two hours doing research online about EPIC software. I was lucky to find some really good journals with helpful information on EPIC. Moreover, one of the journals was pretty specific since it gave insight into the uses and benefits EPIC has on the health field. After a brief discussion of the data I found with Scoope (IT manager of the clinic), I was offered the opportunity to shadow one of the doctors in the clinic. Obviously, I did not hesitate a moment to accept the offer and went along with Olga to shadow the doctor. I always enjoy learning as I get to see patients with the doctor. In addition, I love going to this clinic since it is a pediatric clinic and as I mentioned on my previous blogs I love kids!! Moreover, Olga and I had the opportunity to discuss with the doctor our possibilities for the brochure we have as an assignment. The doctor said that the most common disease among the clinic’s young patients is respiratory track infections. Now, all we have to do is a little bit of research in order to create our brochure. I hope that next time I go volunteer I can go back and shadow the doctor since I have so much fun =).
