DONE! That's pretty much all I have to say! I am officially done with clinic this semester. And boy does it feel great! I can't believe how fast it went by! At the first of the semester I thought I would never make it through the first week let alone the first semester! But I did and I am definitely ready for a break!
We went over the grading rubric for Tal-Eval and how we will be scored next semester with our patients. It was a little stressful to think of having to see actual patients next semester, but I don't want to think of that now. I just want to enjoy the break.
We also learned about emergency preparedness and how we are to react in different situations. I hope I don't have to ever deal with an emergency because I don't know if I'd be able to stay calm! And that is the first step, so I would definitely fail. It is definitely good to know though because I am less likely to freak out if I am prepared and know what to do.
Lastly we learned about CA (clinic assistant) duties. Which was pretty straight forward. We get the opportunity next semester to be the CA twice. We help out where needed, make new charts, sterilize instruments, answer calls, and the list goes on and on.
I have definitely learned SO much this semester. I look back on all that we've gone over and think, Wow! I do still have some improving to do but that will come with the next three semesters!
