Third Interview Questions (Revision)

 

1.    Do you think that anyone who would like to enter this field needs to have certain

2.    What is the hardest thing you find you have to do when you go to work every day?

3.    Did you find that it wasn’t what you knew but who you knew that helped you in getting you residency? Or was it fairly easy?

4.    What is it that you find makes for a good anesthesiologist characteristic wise?

5.    Is it important to communicate with other departments in your profession? How important is it if at all?

6.    What do you think is most important in the success as an anesthesiologist?

7.    How often do you need to attend some sort of seminar to update your knowledge on your profession?

8.    With the demanding schedule of an anesthesiologist do you find it a hindrance in the type of job you do? Do you find that being tired affects your performance?

9.    Do you work closely with other anesthesiologists or do you find that you don’t come in contact with other anesthesiologist often? Do you think this affects, for example implementing some sort of new technology that you are not completely clear on and not having that other person to ask?

10. How often are you accompanied by any anesthesiologist in an operating room? Did you find it helpful?

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval (Revision)

(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

For my first independent component I plan on completing the course work available online for an Introduction to Biology class from MIT.

(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

The course work that I have chosen to complete has lectures/course notes/assignments/tests enough material to study that will more than suffice for the 30 hours.

(3) How does your independent study component relate to your EQ?   

Taking a Biology class I feel correlates to my over all senior project of anesthesiology because in order to get any further in the schooling aspect you must have a complete and thorough understanding of the basics and this Biology course covers principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology a lot of the basics.

Blog 12: Service Learning

Q:Where are you working for your service learning?

- For my service learning I am working at San Dimas Community Hospital.

 

Q: What is your contact?

Kathleen Rivero

1350 West Covina Boulevard San Dimas, CA 91773

(909) 599-6811

 

Q: Services performed?

- I was only recently given service learning at this hospital so I am in the process of learning what it is I will be doing. All i know is that I am to be assigned to volunteer in the Emergency Room of this hopsital to assist those that work in that department in any way possible.

ESLER Blog

Choose 2 ESLER’S that you believe you have met throughout your senior project.

-          Throughout my senior project I think that the 2 ESLER’S I have best met are being a good lifelong learner as well as communicator.

Effective Learner: Throughout my senior project even before I decided to change my senior topic Ms. Melogno has continuously told me to get better research were authors of that work are clear and those publishing the works have clear credibility in their work and I feel that my quality in research has definitely improved as my work has continued throughout the year.

Effective Communicator: After changing my senior topic I had to then go into the medical field and find an establishment that would allow me to do my service learning. Being that it was so late in the game I was told that I wouldn’t be able to get service learning until January, and then come January the establishments that had once said they would allow me to volunteer there did not. I was forced to show continuous interest in calling continuously, showing up at establishments to talk one on one and show volunteer coordinators that I was serious in my endeavor to find a place to volunteer. Doing all this I do believe shows that I am an effective communicator and through it I now have a hospital that has recently allowed me to volunteer there as a result.

Third Interview Questions

1. What kind of study ethic did you have during school?
2. Did you find your professors to be very helpful?
3. While in school did you study in study groups or alone most of the time?
4. What swayed your decision in choosing your school for the profession that you have?
5. Do you find your job to be a very high pressured job?
6. Was is easy to find a residency? Did your school work with you to find it?
7. How is your work schedule scheduled?
8. What was the most common reason that you seen while in school that people did not finish their schooling?
9. On average how much sleep did you get a night?
10. Is the work load that your given throughout school a lot? or is it that you need to manage your time better? If so how?

Self Reflection

01. How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why?  AE, P, AP, CR, or NC

I feel like I am doing P worthy work considering that I decided to change topics when I did, completing my research over again and lining up service learning opportunities. 

02. What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?

I feel like I have done well in organizing my new research after switching topics and keeping everything together in one place.

03. What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?

I would like to actually start my service learning already as opposed to waiting until January. Waiting until that point and time makes me nervous.

Science Fair Proposal

01. Hypothesis
 - If anesthesia providers do not thoroughly decontaminate surgical areas then the likely hood they will transfer bacterial infections is high.
02. Identify:
      - Dependent Variable: Bacteria Transfered
      - Independent Variable: How much bacteria is decontaminated
      - Control Variable: Surgical Areas
03. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
- My senior project is anesthesiology, and the cleanliness of the machinery used is a very important aspect to this particular area of surgery. If something is not thoroughly decontaminated the likely hood of bacterial transmission is higher, which could lead to greater complications for the patient.   
04. How will you perform the experiment?  Include the equipment you plan on using.
- I will analyze the set of data collected by those who actually conducted the experiment.
05. Which category will your project be listed under?  
- My experiment falls under the category of microbiology, it is an experiment studying the study of bacterial transmission.
