Healthcare is Human: Internal Medicine Residency, Melissa Carter
In this episode we meet Melissa Carter, ambulatory service manager for medicine & pediatrics at the Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg, WV:
“I have been a medical assistant for eighteen years and started my journey going to college to be a special education teacher. I graduated high school early and then decided that I wanted to be in a position where I had the ability to make an impact on others. I changed course and, because my mother was a nursing assistant, I went into health care.”
“If you can come to the table with empathy, then you will be a wonderful healthcare provider, and that's really what we're aiming for with our internal medicine residency program. We want everyone to be treated as if they were someone in your family. If you were to walk into that office with your grandparents, how would you want them to be treated?”
This podcast features the poem “Diagnosis Color by Number” read by its author, Renée K. Nicholson. Learn more about Renée and her poetry by visiting http://www.reneenicholson.com/.
Music written and performed by Robert Sears.
