Blog 1: 2013 2-Hour Presentation Reflections

1. The presentations I viewed were:

Clinical Pharmacy- Gina
Disease Prevention- Jazmin
Singing Professionally- Jamilex
Radio Production- Alfonso
Voice Acting- Deanna
Dance Performance- Valerie
Solar Cup Competition- Jesse
Theatrical Performance- Danielle
Suicidal Youth- Marissa
Independent Short Films- Yesenia
Wedding Planning- Sydney
Law Enforcement- Jared
Physical Therapy- Olivia
Immigration Law- Yareli

2. All of the questions I had for the Senior Project were answered during my interview with a senior and the presentation weeks.

3. Based on the 2 hour presentations, I believe the most important of the senior project is knowing your information. By having an in depth knowledge on your topic through research, mentorship and independent components you can have a successful presentation.

4. I'm not sure what topic I want to do specifically for my senior presentation at the moment, but maybe something health related. I understand that it's important to choose a topic I'm interested in and possibly in a field I'd like to pursue. So, I will explore my options over the summer by volunteering at various places.

Blog 2: Summer Mentorship Component

3. Questions that came up during my mentorship: 

    What does it take to become a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (qualities and skills)? 
    How can you become a CLS (major and classes)?
    Are there similar jobs to being a CLS with actual patient contact?
          
Interpretive 

4. The medical field is very interesting and has a wide range of jobs. While working in the lab at my mentorship I got a feel for the medical field in a hospital setting.  I have been considering being a Clinical Laboratory Scientist as a future career. It was good to learn what I would be doing if I continue down that path. I even got a chance to perform some of the tasks they accomplish on a daily basis.

5. I could easily picture myself as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and will keep it as an option for a future career. However, I have decided I will not be using it for my senior project. I found that when you are a CLS, patient contact is very rare and it is more of a behind the scenes job. I want to be more involved in the direct care of patients and explore other medical fields. This is why I have chosen Nursing as my new topic.
