COVID-19 has hit everybody hard, I know how difficult it is to get work experience and have my questions for medical professionals answered, and so I decided to do something about it! I want this to be as helpful as it can be for anyone who decides to listen and so if you have any questions send them to me on: Sofia.vidal@aol.com.
