4.+Reflection

This semester I have learned a great deal about the medical field. I have attended an Ambulance meeting almost every week, each on a different topic. Throughout these few months I have started to discover which topics interested me and which ones I didn't care. I absolutely loved the Neurology lesson. I found it very interesting and wanted to study more about it. I continued going to the meetings and found a few things I didn't really like. I wasn't really interested in the child care portion of the meetings. It wasn't what I wanted to do for a living.

When I had time in class I would research more into the Neurology field to see what more I could learn. A lot of it was already covered during the meetings so I just typed up the notes from the meeting.

In the beginning of the semester Mrs. Heisler gave me a flyer for a medical camp. I was very interested so I worked on my application for five weeks before I sent it in. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. The deadline for the application was not until March 16th and I was not notified of the results until April, so I had some time to research and keep attending the meetings. On April 20 I got a letter in the mail from the camp coordinator. I was accepted along with 23 others out of 130 applicants.

Just this past week I received an email from the camp coordinator. She sent me an application for a job shadow at the Community Hospital in Missoula. Only 9 out of the 24 attendees were offered this opportunity. The requirements of the job shadow included a Tuberculosis Test and a copy of my Immunization records.

I hope to learn a lot from the camp this summer along with the job shadow. Hopefully all the previous information the I have learned from the Ambulance meetings will help me in understanding medical care for the future.
