This past Saturday I joined some 1st year medical students at a health fair assisting with migrant hispanic workers south of town. It was a very humbling experience, because I was able to assist them with their health concerns. We took basic vitals such as BP/BS/BMI/Eye/Hearing/ and a brief mental health exam. Overall, the experience was phenomenol, and I was able to instruct some of the 1st year medical students on how to take a BP appropriately. Since I've had experience as an EMT I felt I was more approachable and comfortable during my interactions with patients. One thing I could improve upon is my Spanish! haha
