I always thought of myself as a people
person, with the ability to get along with diverse groups of people: employees,
students, the public, etc. But I feel like my potential and skills were
crippled during this time. I would consider my interaction with the various
employees at the clinic to be very formal and occassionally uptight. I loved
the whole experience though, don’t get me wrong, everyone’s kind to the “new
girl”. But still, it is definitely a lot more pressure than I imagined. And to
think that I’m only going into the clinic for WEEKLY meetings. This goes to
show how unready I am to enter the public sphere of reality. I’m finding it
scary and lonely.
On another note, my meetings are
always nonetheless pleasant. I try very hard to maintain enthusiam, and
sometimes I feel like that might come off as a bit too much. Dr. Khoo is simply
brilliant and intimidating. He realizes the evolvement of the health care
industry and understands the need to change and progress. My placement has
definitely taught me a lot about the medical industry and how online platforms
are welcoming this change with open arms.
As a matter of fact, Google and
YellowPages got into direct contact with my supervisor inviting him to
contribute the clinic’s online presence on their respective platforms. It is
interesting to think how the world has changed and that producers of content
are in line with consumers of content. That’s all for now, folks!
Happy interning!
