So I have finished yet another week. Going into week 5; 11 more till the end of the semester. I'm not counting down really, just really ready to get into the real meat of things. We are doing basics, reviewing Anatomy, Physiology, learning how to take histories, and we will learn how to perform a physical examination. But for the most part, it's relatively easy. I hate to say that word because it's not easy, it's just not as hard coming in. I think next semester is going to be crazy though.
We had tests in our 'major' classes, Anatomy and Physiology. I got an A on the Physiology test and I think I did relatively well on the Anatomy test. We have test every 2weeks in those classes.
We have Applied Learning which is like a "mini clinical". It's like a shadowing opportunity but with more interaction with the patients. We are suppose to be able to do a history and possibly physical exams. I don't know if I'll be able to do that at my site because the patients are mostly Spanish speaking, and I am not on that level yet. They have me at a Pediatric clinic, which is not bad because that's what I'm use to. I can only pick out a few words my preceptor was saying. Maybe with practice and actually learning, I will learn the language. Maybe this will be the motivation I need to really learn Spanish and stick with it.
All and all, it's good. I'm always grateful to GOD for the opportunity to go to school. When I look at my life and think things over, I praise GOD for His love and His mercy.
That's all for now; thanks for reading my blog and if you have any comments or questions, let me know.
I think that if you are going to write a blog about PA school, you need to make sure you take time to edit your writing. This post doesn't give me a very good impression of you, but if you got into PA school you must be intelligent. I am really interested in your PA experience. Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way...just remember that once something is put on the internet it is there forever.
