About Me
Hello Everyone, my name is Brianna Tolson. I was born in Richmond, Virginia on December 23, 2000. I am from Westmoreland County, located in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Obtaining my Bachelors degree in the winter of 2024 will give me my highest level of education. I will be majoring in Health Service Aministration, with a minor in Management. I am excited to start a new career journey in the health care field. A fun fact about me is I enjoy going on trips across the country. My favorite so far has been Dubai and Turks & Caicos!
I choose to do my Internship at VCU Health Primary Care at Callao. This primary care is a medical clinic that assists adults(mostly elders) who need preventive checkups, screening, and treatment for routine illnesses and chronic conditions. This clinic is located in Callao, a small town in the Northern Neck of Virginia. It has partnering locations in Warsaw, Tappahannock, and King William, Virginia. VCU Primary Care Physician groups are apart of the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System, additionally apart of a public body cooperate and academic medical center. My internship supervisor is Falisha Henderson, representing as the Office Manager with over 15 years in the healthcare field.

Some of her responsibilities are to greet patients in a professional and respectful manner, answer the telephone, communicating effectively using words patients can understand, and using excellent customer service skills.
