This semester I feel like I am doing pretty good at keeping on top of my clinical packet. Every time I take a test I fill out the attempts and masteries I have completed. A lot of the skills I am learning are from the evaluation of the upper extremities course which we take a test about every 3 weeks. This gives me a minimum of 30 masteries when we get the tests back. We have taken 2 tests so This gives me nearly 80 masteries. I have an additional 10 from tapping skills. In total I have close to 100 masteries out of 173. I didn’t realize how well I was doing until I just counted while writing this post. I feel like I don’t have to worry as much as I did last semester because of the way I have been entering in my attempts. Last semester, I waited up to the last 4 weeks before the packet was due to fill out a majority of the packet. That was a seriously hellacious experience that I hope to never experience again. Although It would be simple to just do the skills from Upper Extremities, I do want to get masteries from other classes in order to better prepare me for the comprehensive exit exam at the end of the semester. I feel like last semester, even though I had a good range of skills I didn’t truly retain this knowledge. I think this is because I didn’t take notes in my clinical book. I have been trying to write notes on a lot more pages this go around because I think it will be easier to study at the end of the semester. Instead of having to go searching into several different text books I will just be able to look into my clinical packet and have all the information. The only downfall is that the packet is collected at the end of the semester and it goes into a deep dark abyss of a filing cabinet in which I will never see it again. So in order to avoid putting all this work into having a mini textbook and never getting to keep it, I have been typing some of the notes into a document which I will build up over the semesters. I think it will be pretty cool to look back on when I am a senior.
This week I got 10 attempts.

This is where I do my weekly clinical blog assignment. There is either a prompt I am responding to, or I just talk about something exciting I saw during the week.
