Alumni Reflections during COVID-19

Josette Graves '12
Medical Assistant
ENT & Allergy of Delaware

How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected your experience at work? At home?

As a healthcare worker, I must adapt to an ever-changing environment. In-office patient visits are reserved for limited instances, while virtual appointments are the new norm. At home, I am preparing for my medical school applications and my upcoming medical school admissions test (MCAT). I continue to prepare despite the uncertainty of my scheduled test date in May 2020.

How did your WFS education prepare you for your work at the moment?

My education at WFS prepared me for a call to action. I am very grateful for working in a field where I can impact many lives. Chronic and non-viral conditions still exist during this pandemic and no person in need of medical attention should be left behind.

Is there anything else you would like to share with the WFS Community?

Please consider donating any excess PPE (personal protective equipment), especially masks, to healthcare workers. The only way doctors, nurses, and medical staff can continue to treat patients is if they have the proper protective equipment.
