Mentorship Experience

My mentor Emma Balderas Cook is on a maternity leave, for about six months. She left in february because she was almost due, in the end of february she gave birth to a baby girl. Even though my mentor has been gone for three months, I have still been able to learn things at the clinic. I have been allowed to shadow the medical assistant since my mentor was not there. While shadowing I encountered many different patients that would not allow me to observe them in their room with the doctor. Although this was frustrating I still had a good experience.
