REPORT

The goal of this report is to describe and evaluate my six weeks’ experience at the Cerro Navia’s Clinic Hospital Félix Bulnes and to make recommendations for the future.

The Clinic Hospital Félix Bulnes is located in Cerro Navia, is the bigger hospital on Santiago of Chile, and it buildings began in Octubre of 2014. It let many people could have opportunities of work, and the neighbors of Cerro Navia could have an Hospital with ultimate technology near of them. It having within its services are the specialty of Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Neonatology, Emergency Geriatrics, more beds and pavilions, etc.

During my sex week with the Clinic Hospital, I was received for Social Work’s department, who are encargaded to: detect socioeconomic problems in hospitalized patients, conduct socioeconomic studies when necessary, detect the problem of patients arriving at emergencies at the social level, orient families on procedures such as organ donation, blood donation, etc. But I was designed to tree principal areas of the discipline at the scope.

One was to receive to the patients and give their dates, numbers, directions, etc, it’s an more administration area, where have to take the dates and put to the register of the hospital and situation economic, social and familiar.  

Other area was where the social workers go to houses of the patients to check if the information gave is correct and the patient can continue to get the treatment if the patient can’t go she/he self to the hospital, so I had many work on the field.  

And finally, award information to patients according their healthy and social situation, trying it be the most apropiated for the person and the family.

I think the time I was with the Clinic Hospital Félix Bulnes was very important to my formation as professional, because it let me see different cases, with different level of complexity. And with help of my superiors, I could learn ways to affront it.

In conclusion, the Clinic Hospital Félix Bulnes is a great place to Social Work students. Where the work environment is friendly among workmates of Social Work and the other discipline. It’s a place where I would like recommended to the other students and go to work in the future.
