Reflection In Anatomy Class

1195 Words5 Pages

While reflecting back and thinking about my first day in experiential anatomy class, I am amazed at how far I have come in such a little bit of time. I’ll be honest, when I attended the first anatomy class and was told to acknowledge the points of contact within my body as I laid in constructive rest and to figure out where my body was in space, I was utterly confused. I was at a loss for words because I could not understand how laying down on the floor and being in tune with my body was going to help me learn anatomy. However, what I have come to realize, is that this class has become way more than just learning anatomical terms. Instead, through the somatic and experimental experiences of this class, I have made some very beneficial life …show more content…

As time goes on, I can see myself becoming a more relaxed individual due to me being in a meditative state at some points and giving my mind, body, and emotions the space to feel the way they need to. I also see that I am excelling in understanding the somatic part of my body but at the same am finding myself getting caught up in playing it safe and almost being in a place where I have a wall up towards various experiences. With that being said, moving forward I want to be more imaginative and risky so that I can 100% reach all the student learning outcomes of this course. For the future, by the end of this class, something that I want to research and learn more about is the ankle. Personally since I recently did sprain both ankles, I have an understanding that my ankles with the previous sprains are at risk for certain injuries. Therefore, for my personal sake, I really want to learn how to take better care of my ankles so that I don’t sprain them again or if I do, I will be better equipped to understand and deal with the injury on an anatomical level. In general when it comes to this class, I am at awe with how much this experience has been beneficial to me on an academic and non- academic level and I hope to continue to develop my own healthy body practice as well as my anatomical

    Sitting in the nurse's office, I called my parents and they said they would be there as soon as possible, but camp but a little over an hour away. I ate probably five popsicles while sitting in the nurse’s office, but they didn’t taste as exceptional as they usually do since I was in pain. Originally, I was supposed to stay three more nights, but I guess my camp experience was over for that summer. Soon enough, my parents got there and we started our drive back home. My mom thought it was broken, but my dad swore it was just a sprained ankle that would heal in a week or two, so we waited until the next morning to go to the doctor to find

  • Taneisha Grant's When The Simulated Patient Is For Real

    508 Words  | 3 Pages

    It has been argued that the shift towards patient-conscious medical aid is necessary and that simulation in its widest sense can be used to support this process. However, sensitivity to what we are simulating is essential, especially when simulations purport to address patient perspectives. The essay first reviews the history of medical education "centeredness," then outlines ways in which real and simulated patients are currently involved in medical education. Patient-focused simulation is described as a means of offering patients' perspectives during the acquisition of clinical procedural and surgical skills. The authors draw on their experiences of developing Patient-focused simulation and preliminary work to "authenticate" simulations from patient perspectives.

  • Statement Of Purpose For The Texas College Of Osteopathic Medicine

    One of many reasons why I am drawn towards the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine is because of its rigorous curriculum and the school’s mission and values. Being immersed to a primary care clinic during the beginning of school, in opinion, is vital to the learn experience as it gives the students a hands-on experience. Furthermore, the school’s main focus on diversity appeals to my attention as it promotes learning from various students with different backgrounds. Diversity in the school setting corresponds to the real world since physicians will always encounter patients from all walks of life. Being a student who quickly learns from firsthand experiences and who can easily collaborate with other individuals, I believe I will contribute

He informed me that I had fractured my ankle, but that the fracture wasn't serious enough for surgery and that I would be wearing a cast for a couple of months. I learned a couple of things from this incident, one being to not jump out of a vehicle while it's moving. The other thing that I learned was that I need to think before I make rash decisions that could potentially harm me, that I should try to not act on

    Investing my time in the care of my patient gives the opportunity to not only assist them in a difficult situation, but also to learn more about their diagnosis and the treatment, while comparing it to what we have learned in class. For example, I had a patient that suffered from Sickle Cell Disease and came to the ER during a crisis. Correlating this case to the books and the content learned in class, these patients receive at least 1000 mL of fluids, pain medication, and oxygen. Additionally, I had a patient with meningitis. This individual presented with common symptoms such as nuchal rigidity, muscle pain, fever, and chills.

    Evolution from Novice to a Beginning Professional Nurse Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
