Busy college athlete enjoys volunteering at hospital
成绩单
主持人安珀·史密斯: 锡拉丘兹上州医科大学, 纽约, 邀请您成为“知情患者”, 我们的播客邀请了来自纽约中部唯一的学术医疗中心的专家. 我是主持人,安柏·史密斯.
塔图姆·怀特(Tatum 白色)是雪城大学(Syracuse University)今年女子曲棍球队的队长, 她是第一个被评为年度美国大学冰球学者运动员的人. 除了她的运动和学业, 她在州立大学期间做的一件事是在上州立大学医院做志愿者. 她是我今天的客人.
欢迎来到“见多识广的病人”节目. 白色.
泰特姆白: 非常感谢你们邀请我.
主持人安珀·史密斯: I know that you're a native of Kingston, Ontario. How did you choose Syracuse for your college?
泰特姆白: When I was choosing a college, 我在上10年级. 因为曲棍球, 我很早就被招进来了, so at that time I didn't know exactly what I wanted to study in college, and I knew that Syracuse had many options for majors, and so that is what brought me to Syracuse.
主持人安珀·史密斯: So you came to SU not really knowing that chemistry would be your major, or did you figure that out before you got here?
泰特姆白: I didn't know that chemistry was going to be my major when I committed here, 如我所说, much earlier than usual for picking a university. 我在上10年级, 所以我在高中时还没有专门研究过生物和化学之类的学科, 所以当我选择这里, I didn't know I wanted to specifically study chemistry, 然后在高中的最后几年里,我发现了对科学的热情. 在我真正进入雪城大学之前,我确实决定把化学作为我的专业.
主持人安珀·史密斯: What do you think attracted you to the sciences or medicine?
泰特姆白: 我认为医学吸引我的地方是目前为止我在临床环境中的经历, 以及帮助别人. I have a passion for helping others and giving back to other people, 所以这绝对是帮助我培养对医学的热情的东西.
主持人安珀·史密斯: Now, I see that your degree is going to be in medicinal chemistry.
你毕业后打算用这个学位做什么吗?
泰特姆白: 我毕业后的计划是上医学院,希望从事医学方面的工作. 所以用我的科学学位来帮助我进入下一个阶段.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 好吧, 成为一名成功的大学运动员意味着你必须善于管理你的时间, because not only do you have your studies, your college courses and your training and your games, you also become involved in the community.
你是怎么决定要去上州大学医院做志愿者的?
泰特姆白: It's definitely a lot to manage my time between everything. 但让我参与到上州志愿活动的原因是,我知道上州离锡拉丘兹大学很近。, 我想参与临床环境,进一步研究我对医学的兴趣, just to be in a setting like that in the inner workings of a hospital.
所以《推荐最近最火的赌博软件》真的给了我一个机会从医院内部看到医院的运作方式.
主持人安珀·史密斯: Do you remember what your volunteer orientation was like?
泰特姆白: 是的,是的. It was in the summer before I started in the fall of 2023. 所以当我申请的时候,我有一个面试过程,试图成为一名志愿者. 然后我们在网上开了个迎新会. 只是回顾一下不同的过程, 不同的编码, 志愿者可以获得的不同机会,包括所有基本的东西.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 其他志愿者怎么样? I'm wondering if you were surrounded by other college students, or were there older people that were volunteering?
泰特姆白: 我经历的志愿者过程是专门针对大学生的, so a lot of the people that I was in the orientation with, 还有我和谁一起做志愿者, 也, 都就读于苏大或周边大学.
主持人安珀·史密斯: Now, you mentioned that there were some options. How did you choose where you would volunteer in the hospital?
泰特姆白: 当我刚开始工作的时候,我真的不知道每个机会到底是什么样的. There was different options in terms of departments to work in, 所以我的第一选择是, 我认为, 儿科急诊科, and I can't remember what else I had chosen, 但我最后都没去, and I was placed into the volunteer express department.
我真的很享受在那里的时光, and I've kind of switched over to different tasks since, but everything I've been doing at 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 has been really enjoyable so far.
主持人安珀·史密斯: This is 推荐最近最火的赌博软件's "The Informed Patient" podcast. 我是主持人,安柏·史密斯.
我在和塔图姆·怀特谈话. 她是州立大学女子曲棍球运动员,也是上州立大学医院的志愿者.
让我告诉那些可能感兴趣的听众:他们可以在推荐最近最火的赌博软件的网站上了解更多关于志愿者机会的信息.edu/volunteers (plural) or by sending an email to (电子邮件保护) ((电子邮件保护)).
Can you tell us about what some of your duties were like? What was a typical day for you when you came and did your volunteer time?
泰特姆白: 所以我要做的第一件事就是去志愿者部门,用我的代码登录. And then I would head upstairs to where the volunteer express department was. 我们在那里所做的基本上就是接听来自整个医院的电话,打电话的人会知道我们可以在医院里采集实验室样本或传递文件.
我们做的另一件事是在医院里把病人送到他们需要去的地方. 所以学习和了解医院里所有东西的位置是一种很酷的经历.
And then what I've transitioned into now is working with the comfort cart. So that's something where I come around with comfort items like toiletries, 书, 彩色铅笔, 诸如此类. Whatever visitors and patients may need on the floors. I would just go through and ask them if they'd like any of the items, 我可以和病人、他们的家人和朋友聊天,还有所有的来访者和在那里的人. 我只是得到了一个机会,一个房间一个房间地走,真诚地让人们开心, just come through and give them some items that they may be in need of. 所以这是我这学期非常喜欢的事情我在那里工作.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 你能告诉我们你做过的难忘的轮班吗或者你在做志愿者时遇到的难忘的事件吗?
泰特姆白: 对,实际上就在最近,上周,我在工作,用舒适车. 我穿过其中一层楼, just delivering things to different people that may need them. 我路过一个小男孩的房间,他对手推车很感兴趣. And so we have different things like card games, 颜色的书, 就像我提到的, and so I usually just kind of make my rounds and drop things off to people. But I ended up staying and playing a couple card games with him, so 我认为 I spent an hour just kind of hanging out with him.
我工作的一部分就是在那里,倾听那些可能需要交谈的人,或者只是需要一个额外的人 ... extra person to help comfort them and 诸如此类. 所以坐在那里真的是一种很酷的体验,谁不喜欢打牌呢?
So yeah, it was just awesome to kind of give him some light in his day.
主持人安珀·史密斯: Has your time working in the hospital as a volunteer, has that solidified your desire to go to medical school and become a doctor?
泰特姆白: 确实如此. 只是在医院的背景下,从内部看到它是如何运作的, 我在这种环境下变得更自在了,和人交谈也更自在了, comfortable asking questions when I may need it. So the passion that I do have for medicine, 这段经历让我更加坚定了,因为我在这种环境下更舒服了.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 你认为医院志愿者的工作是你会推荐给其他大学生的吗?
泰特姆白: 我一定会推荐它. 这是我非常喜欢的事情, 就像我之前说的, just having the opportunity to be the light in people's day.
The hospital isn't always a great place, and sometimes it is a great place. You never know the people you walk by and what they're experiencing. 例如, 也许有人刚生了孩子, 这是他们一生中最美好的一天, or someone may have just lost a loved one, and you will never know between one person to the next. 所以,能够微笑着给人们的生活带来快乐是一种非常棒的经历, and 我一定会推荐它 to other people.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 好吧,女士. 白色, I appreciate you making time for this interview. 谢谢你!.
泰特姆白: 非常感谢.
主持人安珀·史密斯: 我的客人是塔图姆·怀特. She's a Syracuse University women's hockey player, 2023-2024赛季的队长, and she volunteers at 上州立大学医院.
