My Experience With The National Civil War And Medicine...

Volunteer work is essential for every individual’s life and future careers, it produces a path to connections in the work force, and promotes on the job learning. My practicum work pairing with the National Civil War and Medicine Museums was an amazing, educational 20 hours. Even though I was only there for 20 hours, it was a taste of what I will be tackling in my internship next semester there. I volunteered for four days, and over those days I had a total of four projects. All of the project were different, the first was looking up collection software and plugins, then I took inventory on a case, then I recorded notes on a surgeon’s diary, and finally I described each medicine in a pannier box. All of the people I worked with were immensely friendly and insightful, whenever I had questions they were content to help answer them. The overall experience was tremendously insightful, however, there was a few bumps in the road here and there. This practicum was a great expe rience that makes me eager for my internship in January. My first day at the National Civil War and Medicine museum was October 14th, it was an awfully dull experience and not what I was expecting.

However, she did type up a detailedShow MoreRelatedMedical Differences Between The Civil War And Spanish American War2138 Words   |  9 Pages2015 Medical Differences between the Civil War and Spanish-American War The nineteenth century held one of the most medically appalling wars, as well as one of the most medically innovative wars.

George Washington was a colonist, and like many colonists he disapproved of the stamp act that was imposed on the colonies by British law. Also like many of his fellow colonists his opposition to the stamp act alone was not enough to go to war against the British empire. It was not until the Townshend act was declared and implemented that he began to take a leading role in opposing the British forces.
