Interpretive
What is the most
important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important thing I gained
from this experience was knowing what I will be doing once I am a doctor. I had
such cliche ideas of what life was like in a lab coat and I thought I'd be like
Dr. House or...someone from Greys Anatomy. Shadowing gave me a more realistic
perspective of what it is like. For example I never thought of dealing with
parents as a pediatrician or being on call even though I dont work in a
hospital. So service learning has prepared me much better for my future career.
Applied
How did what you
did help you answer your EQ? Please explain.
The best thing I
gained from service learning was my first answer to my EQ. I woudn't have known
about preventative medicine if I didn't see it live every time I watched the
pediatricians during patient visits. I was able to go talk to them every week
to help strengthen my answer and get sources from their old medical journals to
read. My interviews were also with my service learning mentors and if I didn't
shadow them I'd probably not have interviewed them.
