My time spent serving as an assistant member of staff at a rural health unit afforded me numerous
opportunities that helped improve my abilities across different departments.

These included outpatient department; dental department; pharmacy department; laboratory; and IEC
department.

Working within the outpatient department during this immersion program allowed me to gain a better
understanding of how best to assess patients' medical needs accurately while taking vital signs
measurements carefully before administering medication or treatment plans.

Additionally educating patients about their medical conditions will be crucial going forward
particularly when working with underserved communities where access to professional medical advice is
limited.

As an assistant member under senior dental practitioners within a remote area such as this provided
insights into a variety of oral health assessment techniques employed during various dental procedures.

Attention was given towards maintaining high hygiene standards by emphasizing sterilization and
infection control protocols designed for use across remote regions.

At the laboratory unit itself during my time serving there taught me about specimen collection methods
along with expert knowledge on effective quality control measures used when conducting laboratory testing
processes safely. This enhanced proficiency extends beyond theoretical knowledge as practical training was
provided together with valuable insights into data collection and analysis techniques critical for developing
personalized treatments beneficial for individual patients' needs.

Finally, within the IEC department of this center itself; the immersion program allowed me to develop
health education materials suited to various local populations, which was beneficial in enhancing
communication skills and effective data collection and analysis techniques critical for providing patient
centric care services within rural areas.

Overall, this experience has provided me with valuable competencies that would be essential when working
towards improving healthcare services offered in underserved rural communities around the world.

of my time in the various departments of the rural health unit. This report highlights the strategies I employed to
ensure a productive and efficient immersion period.

Planning and Organization: I started by creating a detailed schedule outlining specific activities and goals for each
day. This allowed me to allocate time efficiently to different departments and tasks, ensuring a balanced and
productive immersion experience.

engage with healthcare professionals, ask questions, and observe procedures. By actively participating in discussions
and hands-on activities, I maximized my learning and gained practical skills in each department.

time effectively. I focused on critical activities, such as patient assessments, procedure assistance, and skill
development, while ensuring I remained flexible to accommodate unexpected learning opportunities and department-
specific needs.

willingness to assist and learn from them. By taking the initiative to participate in discussions, shadow procedures, and
offer assistance, I was able to contribute to the workflow of each department while expanding my knowledge and skill
set.

Documentation and Reflection: Throughout the immersion, I maintained detailed documentation of my experiences,
including the procedures observed, skills acquired, and challenges faced. This allowed me to reflect on my progress
and identify areas for improvement. By consistently reviewing and reflecting on my experiences, I ensured continuous
growth and optimized my productivity.

Adaptability and Flexibility: In a dynamic healthcare environment, I remained adaptable and flexible to adjust to
unexpected changes or emerging priorities. By demonstrating a willingness to take on new tasks or assist in different
departments, I maximized my exposure to various healthcare practices, enhancing the overall efficiency of my

One of the most memorable highlights of my 10-day immersion was the opportunity to learn and practice
taking blood pressure measurements, investigating and analyzing urine samples, and participating in a field
work at Brgy. Limao where we administered injections to young patients. These experiences not only
enriched my understanding of medical procedures but also allowed me to witness the direct impact of
healthcare interventions on patients.

Learning to take blood pressure measurements provided me with valuable insights into cardiovascular health
assessment and patient care. Here are the reasons why this experience was a highlight for me.

The experience of investigating and analyzing urine samples provided me with a comprehensive
understanding of laboratory diagnostics and the role they play in patient care.

Participating in the field work at Limao, where we administered injections to young patients, was a highlight
that provided unique learning opportunities and valuable experiences.
