I think everything was fantastic. I had a great experience! I had an amazing time at DSHS. My site preceptor, Raphael Cohen was such kind person. He always made me feel included and always helped me with anything I asked for. I would love for him to get some recognition for the work he's put in with me and also with the agency. - Syed Ali
