During this week in ISM I have
completed my fifth Research Assessment and second Interview Assessment. For my
Research Assessment I analyzed an article that covered the fundamentals and
functions of the heart. I learned and memorized the parts of the heart and the responsibility
each chamber has. The key information from the article will be useful when I’m
with my future mentor since I wouldn’t have to waste his time with learning
about the basics about the heart, instead we could move forward and talk about
more intricate ideas. For my Interview Assessment I reflected on my second
interview with Dr. David Harper who explained to me the key aspects of
Cardiology. With his father also being a Cardiologist, Dr. Harper emphasized the
amount of work and dedication needed to become a Cardiologist. I learned from
Dr. Harper the depth of studies needed to become a Cardiologist and the amount
of time one must place since it is a serious and crucial job. During class time
we critiqued each other’s display board layouts so that we could present our
boards could be professional and sufficient. For my display board I was
thinking of integrating a three-dimensional heart in the center of the board
since my topic of study is Cardiology. This week has been a wonderful week and
I hope to accomplish more in the future.
