Independent Component 2

Literal
(a) I, Punit Patel, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) Dr. Patel and Essential Skills for Dentists

(c) Done
(d) I have done many things in my independent component 2. The first being was that Dr. Patel helped me come up with my second and third answers. She guided me through all the information I needed and where to get it from. She provided expert tips and resources. While I am at the dentistry doing my mentorship/independent component, she always teaches me useful things that help me toward my second and third answers and my whole topic overall. I am basically her assistant while I am over there and I follow her around assisting her in the operating rooms as well as file the patient's files that need to be filed.

Interpretive
These are pictures of the files that I have to put away and pull out when we are starting and finishing with every patient. The other picture is of one of the operating rooms which I have to sanitize quickly after every use before the next patient comes. This proves my 30 hours of work.



Applied
This component has helped me answer my EQ by giving me my second and third answer. Dr. Patel is the one who helped me come up with the answers to answer my EQ. She guided me through the whole process and gave me all the information I needed and more. This component truthfully has really helped me greatly in my senior project.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1. I plan on doing more mentorship hours for my second part of my independent component. During my mentorship I have several responsibilities. Some include operating the suction machine and helping Dr. Patel in the patient rooms and others include sterilizing all the equipment before patients get into the room. I follow Dr. Patel everywhere and leantant new things as she operates on different patients.

2.  Other than my mentorship log, Dr. Patel let's me take pictures of when I am helping her out. I will prove my 30 hours of work with the picture I take.

3. My mentorship will help me explore my topic more in depth because I get to see all aspects of dentistry from running a dental office to treating pictures and it will also allow me to get more answers to my essential question.

Independent Component 1

Literal
a. I, Punit Patel, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b. My mentor, Rita V. Patel helped me out the most.
c. completed
d. I usually follow around Dr. Patel helping her out with the patients and seeing what patients come and their different reasons for coming to the dentistry. When not many patients were present, I would usually be filing.

Interpretive


This is me following Dr. Patel in the patient rooms and me filing the loads of patient files.

Applied
My independent component really helped me find answers to my EQ and it really helped me out on my presentation two. For example, I first learned about fluoride from Dr. Patel, yet along many other things such as teeth whitening and other dental treatments. I feel without my mentorship and independent component, I would not have been able to find information or experience things I did.
