During my time as a resource navigator at the Center for Patient Partnerships, I had the privilege of collaborating with a team of dedicated students and faculty who were devoted to enhancing patients’ healthcare experiences. As a resource navigator, I was responsible for facilitating patients’ access to healthcare services and local resources that they needed. Additionally, I was deeply committed to promoting better understanding of healthcare policy, empathy, and communication among patients and healthcare providers. The most rewarding part of my internship was witnessing the positive impact I made in patients’ lives. Whether it was guiding them through complex healthcare systems, connecting them with essential resources to manage their conditions, or simply being a supportive listener during challenging times, I experienced immense fulfillment in knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. This experience reinforced my personal commitment to continue working towards improving healthcare experiences for patients in any possible way.
