Starting Strong

Well, everything seems to be going well, other than the computer problems we've all been having with accessing and printing some of the modules it's all been running smoothly. Classes seem to be straight forward, challenging, yet definitely manageable! Yesterday after class, I was trying to print stuff on in the computer lab when Debbie the secretary downstairs came up and asked me to be a Supplemental Instructor again this semester but this time for Biomedical Core 1110. Last spring I was the SI for Pathophysiology which was a lot of fun and helped me relearn all of the cool stuff I learned while taking the class in the fall. It's been a while since I've had Biomed and I'm not so sure how it'll go with my busy schedule in the program but I'm up for it. Hopefully this will help me remember the information I'll need for the boards next year.
Clinic today was good, I passed off two PE's (personal protection equipment and eaglesoft) which is a relief to finally know what that's actually like. ...not as scary as I thought it would be thank goodness! Working with the typodonts in the chair was fun today too, it got me way excited to actually start working on each other and eventually work up to patients! It was just a taste for now but it's a taste of the dream we're all chasing right now and I can't wait!!! After clinic, i got my teeth cleaned to help me through the two weeks of not brushing the bottom teeth that will come after my surgery on Friday and it was very interesting to revisit a private practice and see the rules and techniques that they do and don't follow. Like Professor Costley said, the clinic here at Weber is very conservative which is the way we should be learning so we can more easily adjust to working in any private practice.
