Internship in Flushing Hospital Medical Center
This semester I had a great opportunity to attend an internship at Flushing Hospital. My personal experience in Flushing Medical Center was rewarding in many ways. I have learned a lot, we have about 30 minutes per patient, I mastered my skills with different age categories. I had a patients from 5 to 93 years old. Besides regular prophylaxis I had patients for scaling and root planing procedures. Some of patients that I have need an Endodontic treatment, so a few times I assisted doctor during this procedure.
I practiced my communication skills with patients, especially kids (we have kids days). Also, I tightened my knowledge of Spanish language, because half of patients population ware Spanish, that didn’t speak English.
I would like to say a few words about our amazing dental team that was welcoming and friendly. The moment I arrived I feel comfortable and welcome. They always were making sure that I had everything I need.
I am very grateful for opportunity of internship, that helps me practice my skills and feel confidence and preparedness before future employment.
