"In addition to expanding upon my knowledge of the medical field, I learned two very important lessons through installing air conditioners, blinds, crimping computer wires and driving through all parts of the Bronx. These two lessons are, to be independent and do what makes you happy. Working at Comprehensive Geriatric Care this summer gave me a strong understanding of how both patient care and administrative aspects of medicine come together to form a functional medical practice."

"Working in the office allowed me to interact with quite a variety of different people and personalities, while visiting the hospital allowed me to directly observe the doctor-patient relationship. Though at times I did find it challenging to complete work with limited instructions, I think it helped me overall to be more independent and thoughtful about what I had to do. While at CGC I saw an immense amount of dedication and love of their jobs exhibited by the people who work there. Overall, I had a really wonderful experience and I will treasure it always"
