Meet Tanushree
Tanushree is a senior Neuroscience student at the University of Louisville. She has been volunteering at FCC since 2023 as a medical scribe, where she helps document provider notes during patient visits. Her role helps appointments run more efficiently and allows providers to focus more fully on patient care. Tanushree was drawn to FCC because of its mission to provide free, accessible healthcare to the community. While searching for volunteer opportunities, she wanted to be part of something that directly supports patients who may otherwise face barriers to care. With previous scribe experience in the UofL Emergency Department, FCC felt like the perfect place for her to continue learning while giving back.
One of her favorite parts about FCC is the teamwork. She often works closely with providers and translators, and she finds it rewarding to see how everyone collaborates to support each patient. She also enjoys meeting fellow volunteers who are passionate about healthcare and service.
Another aspect of FCC that stands out to Tanushree is how patient care is tailored to each individual. She recalls seeing a provider help a patient manage diabetes by incorporating culturally familiar foods into their diet rather than asking them to completely change their lifestyle. Experiences like this highlighted the importance of cultural competency in healthcare and made her time at FCC especially meaningful.
Outside of FCC, Tanushree enjoys drawing in her sketchbook, going on walks in parks, and reading.
Volunteering at FCC has reinforced her interest in medicine and strengthened her commitment to serving diverse communities. It has shown her how essential compassion, accessibility, and understanding are in providing quality healthcare.
