During this
week in ISM I have completed my fifth interview assessment and finished my
research portfolio and research board that will be shown for the upcoming
winter research showcase, where I will be able to present all the knowledge and
information that I have learned throughout this first semester about my topic of
study. Through my interview assessment I reflected on my first phone interview
with Dr. Parin Parikh. From the interview I learned what it means if a doctor
is “on call” and how busy some cardiologists can be. At the end of the
interview Dr. Parikh gave me advice on what I should be doing if I want to
pursue in cardiology or any other medical field. In class we prepared for the research
showcase by asking one another questions that could be asked during the actual
research showcase. I learned that almost anything can be asked about my field
of study so I should prepare well for the research showcase if I want to
impress my audience. We also went over what we should do if we get stumped on a
question and how to appropriately answer back. Ultimately I feel prepared for
the research showcase since I know that it will be really fun and exciting. This
week has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.
