This past week was my last week of the year as a volunteer at Ben Taub. I am leaving town for the next month after finals to spend time with family and enjoy the break. I hope to continue my volunteer service in the upcoming semester, and I will have to see how I can fit it into my schedule. It has been a fulfilling experience to have the opportunity to serve my community. I have met many wonderful people and have had a few memorable experiences in my short time at Ben Taub. These experiences and this blog has given me an outlet to reflect on the issues that face the medically underserved in our community. As an aspiring future physician, it is this portion of the population I feel that I should turn most of my effort to providing proper care for, and I hope that my future career path can lead me to be able to help these who are in most need. Wherever I end up in my career, I will always carry these memories as a volunteer with me.
