She has continued to work at her internship, helping with the coronavirus response:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To continue my internship at the Rhode Island Department of Health, I decided to assist with the COVID-19 response. Despite these unfortunate circumstances, gaining real-world public health experience has been a great opportunity and has expanded my interest in infectious disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past month, I have been involved with the Patients Under Investigation or PUI cases in Rhode Island. These cases involve anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 and is scheduled for testing. When a patients&#8217; results are received, I organize patients&#8217; files, including their phone triage form and lab results, and ensure that their case is either &#8220;ruled out&#8221; as a negative or confirmed as a positive case. I have also transferred paper files to a new online database where patient information will be stored specifically for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would have never thought that I would be ending my senior year during a pandemic, however, being able to adapt and learn through this time has been rewarding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-share-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-share color  \"><div class=\"cl-share-label\">Share:<\/div><ul class=\"cl-share-buttons\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Face of the Fight: Shannon O&#8217;Rourke \u201920, Health Studies&amp;url=https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/chs\/2020\/04\/14\/face-of-the-fight-shannon-orourke-20-health-studies\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"cl-share-twitter share-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/chs\/2020\/04\/14\/face-of-the-fight-shannon-orourke-20-health-studies\/\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"cl-share-facebook share-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College of Health Sciences staff, faculty members and students across all departments are dedicating themselves to helping during the COVID-19 health crisis we are all facing.
