1) What is your EQ?
My eq is "What is the best way to become a successful pediatrician?"
2) Define the words in your EQ to make sure we are on the same page regarding what your EQ means.
The definition of successful in my eq means someone who has mastered the art of medicine through prevention and therapeutic ideals. What it means to master through prevention is to educate people on how to live a healthy lifestyle so they do not need therapeutics. I took Samuel Hahnemanns definition of ideal therapeutics as the highest ideal of therapy which is the rapid, gentle, pleasant, complete, and permanent restoration of health in the surest, simplest and least harmful way. If both are achieved, you have met the standards of a successful pediatrician.
3) What are some possible answers to your EQ so far?
a)Do not become complacent with your knowledge but instead try to consistently learn new things.
b)Do not allow yourself to be spoon-fed throughout medical school and afterwards. True knowledge is sought outside the classroom.
c)Know your strengths and weaknesses to determine if medicine(specifically dealing with children) is right for you.
4) What has been your most important source and why? Be specific. If it is a person, name them and what they do, if it is an article, book or video, name the title and author.
I have had two equally important sources. My first is my service learning mentor, Dr. Amjad Mafoud who is a pediatrician at the Glendora medical office. The other is an article by Andre Saine titled, "If its worth doing, its worth doing well."
