My name is Madisyn Burchfield, a LEAD student in Dr. Edgar's service learning course LDR 3215. I would like to thank my volunteer coordinator Brooke Robinson for helping me get involved in volunteering at Advent Health and making it a smooth transition. I would also like to thank Laura (nurse), Jessica (nurse), Seth (nurse), Dylan (PA), and Seth (PA) for spending one on one time allowing me to shadow them and work alongside them.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

My service-learning project that I partnered with Advent Health Downtown Orlando to join in accomplishing is synonymous to their mission: extending the healing ministry of Christ. While volunteering with Advent Health and the city of Orlando, I was able to work with patients from all works of life alongside the hardest working healthcare professionals that I call the heroes of downtown Orlando. The biggest act of love and support you can give to this world is serving one another with your time- which is exactly what Advent Health does. While volunteering with Advent, I was given the opportunity to shadow Orthopedic Trauma nurses and Orthopedic Surgery Physician Assistants. While working with the nurses, I gained clinical experience with patients that were in their most vulnerable moments, giving them support and care alongside the nurses. To see their faces light up when you give them encouragement and hope is the most rewarding part. While shadowing the PAs, I gained insight into what the healthcare world is truly like from a physician assistant’s point of view, and I was able to be a listening ear for them as I assisted them in their daily duties while working with patients.
