Acting as a Resource Person in Health Education:
I developed resources for the International Rescue Committee's Resettlement department. I created some WIC documents, as well as an English to Arabic medical dictionary.
CPH 350 taught me the importance of creating a plan for a need in a community. When I realized that the IRC Health Advocate interns could benefit from having a systematic way of enrolling refugees onto WIC, I created simple guidelines on WIC enrollments. I also created a specific one for the MHC Healthy Beginning WIC clinic, because that office is very close to where some of the refugees reside. Based on the language barriers many refugees faced, I created an English to Arabic medical dictionary with pictures, in hopes that future interns can use this document in helping clients understand the health care system.
