We are deeply grateful to Fresenius Kidney Care Recruiter Whitney Turkanis (pictured above) and our wonderful panel of alumni, Laura Illowite ’15, Megan Ostrow ’09, and Melanie Ventura ‘19, for dedicating their time to discuss their paths to Fresenius and shedding light on their day-to-day work as medical social workers serving on the front lines in the renal care space.
The conversation highlighted the vital role social workers are playing to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and the value they continue to bring to ensure that vulnerable communities, in particular, are receiving the support and resources they need through these challenging times.
If you missed the event and/or want to learn more about opportunities at Fresenius, you can view the recording here. They are actively recruiting across the country. For more information, go to their career site.
Last week, we welcomed four alumni to speak about their path to clinical social work at our virtual panel discussion, Journey to the “C”, which was co-sponsored by the Mental Health Caucus. The discussion covered an array of topics, including clinical supervision, Institute training, and interview preparation.
