My name is Izzy, and I did my work experience at Worcester’s medical museums because I am interested in medical science and believe that to learn about the future of medicine (like I want to), I need to understand the past.
George Marshall
I did the first half of my work experience at the George Marshall Medical Museum with Ms Louise Price.
I found everyone who worked here to be extremely kind and polite. I did most of my work experience with Ms Louise Price who was incredible the entire time. She made sure everything I did was interesting and directed for me.
We did many activities such as:
-remodeling and refilling the museum apothecary box
-making a display box
-transcribing oral interviews
-working with ideas for social media
-and so much more!
The Infirmary museum
I did the second half of my work experience at the Infirmary Museum with Ms Harriet Hathaway.
It was just Harriet and I over this section and she was so sweet and kind. She would always check on me to make sure I was having fun and was interested in what I was doing.
We did many activities such as:
-condition checking items
-making and testing trails for visitors
-working with ideas for social media
-and even more!
I feel Louise Price and Harriet Hathaway gave me such a well-rounded experience of what I might come across in certain careers. If they gave me something to do, they made sure it was fun and enjoyable. Over this week I have learnt so much from these museums not only about how these jobs are done, but also about the history and culture of our country, medicine and even the buildings we’re in. I had way more fun than I thought I would, and it was an amazing introduction to the working world.
I am extremely grateful to both Louise and Harriet for giving me this wonderful opportunity and ensuring it was a fun experience.
