As a Patient Care Associate in the Pre-Operative Care Unit, I support the surgical team by preparing patients for surgery, ensuring their comfort and safety, and facilitating efficient workflow. My responsibilities include conducting vital sign checks, assisting with patient hygiene, providing emotional support, and maintaining clear communication between patients, families, and the medical team. I also manage medical equipment, document patient information, and adhere to strict infection control protocols to promote optimal patient outcomes.

I worked along side Dr.Winston Jeshuran (Orthopedic Spine Surgeon) in clinic visiting with patients and also in the operating room where I was able to learn how to scrub into the cases and watch step by step and learn how all of the operations he performs is done. I was able to learn sterile technique and how the instrument table worked and how every piece of equipment played a role in the case. I worked alongside Dr.Jeshuran approximately 60-80 hours per week during my internship as well.

I was in charge of the employees at night. Making subs for costumers while also multi-tasking and making sure out store was clean and taken care of. I took feedback from customers on their experiences and helped train new employees on our techniques and how we ran the store.
