1) For my first independent component, I will be volunteering at the San Dimas Community Hospital under Kathlyn Rivera, my supervisor. I did my first shift last Friday and so far my duties have been to ask patients if they need anything, go into rooms and pass out magazines, and assist nurses with patient charts. My goal though is to start shadowing physicians at the hospital which I am working on.
2) My plan is to work four hour shifts once a week every Friday. I'm also doing service learning with Dr. Mafoud in Glendora where I shadow 2-3 hours a week. If I am not able to go on Fridays, I plan on doubling my time with Dr. Mafoud.
3) My eq is "what is the best way to become a successful pediatrician." I feel the best way to find my answer will be to watch physicians in their element first hand. That's why I chose to volunteer at a hospital. I can watch how they interact with their patients and as a volunteer, I can use the same methods as well. I'm shadowing a pediatrician specifically in a private practice clinic to get more specific to my eq.
