In the past I have volunteered at the UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute in Gainesville. While there, I was in the sports medicine department. Mostly I shadowed the doctors as they met with patients. The doctors would usually take x-rays and then discuss diagnosis's and treatment options. My other responsibilities were to make files, bring patients to rooms, deliver supplies, and print x-rays.

The next semester I volunteered at the Pediatric Clinic at Magnolia Park. I really enjoyed getting to know the children and watching them progress. It was a great learning experience and I was able to form an excellent relationship with the physical therapist. I also learned that although I love children, I would prefer to work with adults in the rehabilitation setting.
