Journal-Responsibilities and Experience in Volunteering in PG&E

Journal-Responsibilities and Experience in Volunteering in PG&E

In the past week, I was part of the team that implemented a community outreach program on cervical cancer screening. Having been part of the planning team, I witnessed how theoretical provisions are actualized. I was part of an interdisciplinary team conducting the exercise in this activity. This exercise also reinforced my understanding of how diverse healthcare teams operate in a synchronized fashion toward executing clinical plans. The first step of the exercise was to define roles and establish a chain of command. In this regard, each professional involved in the team’s exercise was assigned a specific role that coincided with their primary role in healthcare. They were then deployed to their various stations.

Significant to note during the exercise was how these professionals worked collaboratively, frequently consulting each other, sharing information, and communicating openly. I got to meet other experienced professionals and interact with them. I observed their communication approaches and how they would vary their communication with transcultural individuals. A key takeaway in this process is the demonstration of cultural awareness and sensitivity when communicating with individuals from different cultures. Another aspect of communication variation I noted was when these professionals were engaging persons of different ages. Aspects of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques such as summarizing, paraphrasing, tonal variation, and gestures were evident.

Also significant in the past week was the analysis of the concluded outreach program. Team members gave their feedback on the just concluded program. This would form the groundwork for the next outreach program scheduled for later weeks. In this process, I learned how to appraise community health promotion programs and the significance of evaluating programs upon their implementation.
