    Cleveland Clinic Program Analysis

    I would like to tell you that my day in the program was unique because it let me explore the program in depth. I am working at the Cleveland clinic as an English-Arabic healthcare interpreter and I feel the warm atmosphere between all the people in the hospital every day. Being in the hospital to facilitate the communication between the patients with limited English proficiency and the physicians made my dream of being a resident at the Cleveland Clinic grow within me. Those bilingual encounters made me familiar with the hospital departments where I had to work as a team with different staff, nurses and lab technicians to make sure that we provide the highest quality of care to the patients. Furthermore, I had a new friend waiting for me in…

    Social Work Field Observation Report

    However, it actually turned out that I had more in common with my African-American roommate, who was also came from a low-income household in Southern California, than I did with my 3rd generation Mexican-American roommate who came from a middle-class suburban city. I had no idea the impact that different generations and cultural differences outside of race have the ability to make until I actually experienced it. Thanks to this experience, I feel my culturally competency expanded to new horizons. As a social worker, I plan to take what I have learned from my experience and education of the transcultural perspective that San Jose State’s mission has established and practice it with people I work with. This will be one of the many ways I plan on contributing to the profession to promote social justice as well as advocate for the communities who consistently face oppression and social…
