Almost Done

Its almost my last day and I am spending it acting as Dr. Patel's receptionist. I am just filing and thanking Dr. Patel for all her help so far. Soon I will have to say goodbye and I won't be filing or answering calls anymore. I can't say I'll miss this part. Yet I will miss the part where I helped her out with her patients. I like doing that. Well, today it was sort of a slow day and all I did was manage upcoming appointments, and answer phone calls.



Senior Project Reflection

1. I am most proud of myself for doing extra research checks and using all the research checks to help me with all my three answers. My research checks are the things that molded all the content i provided for my three answers.

3. The thing that worked most for me was always having a head start on the senior project components. I would always start a day or two earlier than my friends and that really helped me be prepare for everything.

4. If I could have done something differently, it would be to get more books on my topic because one of the books I had was very old and not too helpful.

5. It has helped me learn how to find credible research. One of the main things this project has helped me with is finding credible research because of the ESA, interviews, research checks, and more. It has also further helped me write better because of all the papers we have had to write.

Mentorship

Literal
-done
-Dr. Rita V. Patel, Montclair Dentistry
9625 Monte Vista Ave, Montclair, 91763

Interpretive
The most important thing I gained from this experience would be all the hidden things dentists do. Many people think that all dentists do is clean teeth and that is false, There is another side to maintaining a profitable dental office and that deals with dental insurance and patient care. A dentist must make sure that their patients get the care they need but also pay their fees. There are many things that dentists do and I have learned more in depth what they do and everything they do. This information could not have been obtained by reading a book or doing research, the only way to learn this is from actually mentoring, which I did.

Applied
My mentor was the one who helped me come up with all my answers and my EQ. All of my answers require me to see with my own eyes what a dentist does and that is what I got to do. Following Dr. Patel around in her dentistry assisting her has helped me obtain a far better understanding of the answers to my EQ and even more information.
