Clinical Highlights

Choose one or more of the following to guide your self-reflection of your experience this week. Do not report on an

extended SOAP note patient. The reflection should be a minimum of 100 to 150 words.

 Discuss an encounter that was particularly interesting and what you learned from it?

 Discuss a difficult or challenging encounter and how you handled it?

 Discuss an example of how you were able to independently contribute to this week’s encounters?

 Were there any patient management plans developed by your preceptor that surprised you?

 Were you able to “teach” your preceptor anything this week?

 Identify a personal learning need you discovered while assessing or managing a specific diagnosis. What steps

will you take to improve your understanding or skills?

 What insights did you gain during your experience this week that will prove most helpful for future encounters?

 What personal success do you want to celebrate?

 If I could have a do over, I would have done this instead……

Discussio n

This week during clinical I got to practice placing sutures again. This time I got to work a lot more hands on with injecting the lidocaine for numbing and placing more of the sutures. Again, I still need more practice at this skill, but I was more comfortable with it this time as the location of the sutures were on a hand and not someone’s face (a little less pressure to make the sutures perfect). The patient was nice and encouraging and made sure not to rush me as he knew I was learning. It was excellent practice!
