Blog 5

1. What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?

- The most positive thing that has happened from what I have completed so far would be the fact that I have become more prepared an emergency, medical or any other, due to the scene assessment and "taking charge" skills I have learned. Most of these skills were learned from m mentor and his co-workers.

2. Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

- My Emergency Care textbook has been the most helpful because of the wide array of medical knowledge and 'rule-of-thumbs' for EMTs it holds. I have not tested my newfound knowledge yet in a real scenario, and I hope I won't need to, but I believe I have gained a better understanding of my topic rom this book.

3. What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

- My mentor has been a huge help in my learning process. He is constantly supplying me with textbooks to read and can answer any questions I have. 

4. What hasn't worked so far? 

- Something that has been a problem with my senior project is that there are few opportunities for community service, but I have planned to work at a couple of marathons, one in November and the other in March. I am hoping to eventually be able to assist my mentor with teaching his EMT classes.

5.  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ) What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it. 

- A potential EQ that I would like to study is; What is the most effective course of action a bystander can do in a medical emergency?
For my mentorship hours, I will be volunteering at marathons and hopefully by assisting my mentor with teaching  his EMT classes
