Clinic Volunteering

I really enjoyed my time today at the MJD Clinic. The front desk staff made me feel welcomed and were helpful throughout my time there. I assisted with calling patients to schedule follow up appointments and checked in patients when they arrived at the clinic.

During my clinic volunteer experience, I helped organize a patient backlog of four years. This task required patience, attention to detail, and careful organization to ensure that the records were properly arranged and easier for staff to access. The experience showed me how accurate record management supports efficient clinic operations, protects patient confidentiality, and contributes to continuity of care. Although the work was time-consuming, it was rewarding to help reduce a significant administrative burden for the clinic. I also gained a greater appreciation for the important behind-the-scenes responsibilities that allow healthcare professionals to serve patients effectively.
