As this blog comes to an end I had a lot of fun and had an overall great experience. First, I stuck to my driving question of “How can I learn from a head therapist to encourage and help me to become a therapist myself?” Answering this question is extremely challenging as there is so many intangibles I learned including ways to talk to patients, questions to ask to diagnose, etc. Working with my mentor was a breeze as he sort of controlled what we did. When we weren’t working with patients he was teaching me things about college and life and tips for the adult life. Jeff gave me many pamphlets of information about patients so that I could learn a little more about their injuries and how to treat them. In a way he gave me homework to do which really helped for my understanding and progress of the whole project. Overall I really enjoyed this project and even though I most likely would’ve shadowed this summer, I’m extremely happy this project gave me the perfect opportunity to jump the ball and begin earlier. I will keep up shadowing Jeff just maybe not as much because it is so difficult to find time as that was my main problem. Other challenges were signing many forms to keep information inside the workplace, I wasn’t allowed to do a few other things but over all there wasn’t too many. Lastly I made many new friends and met so many new people through this experience. With over 70 patients shadowed, I thoroughly can say I learned a lot and enjoyed shadowing!
