About My Professional Service at Denova Collaborative Health
Within Denova’s Academic Partnership Initiative, my practicum, internship I and internship II hours were supervised for ethical, clinical, and professional development. Interns are called to utilize the “whole person” approach within an integrated health platform. With in-person and virtual healthcare platforms, interns assess, document, and treat clients with dignity and respect for their unique life circumstances.
