What I learned from last semester is that I need to be more proactive about my education especially when it came to my clinical packet. I felt like I had everything under control and that I was on pace but until the last few weeks when I realized I was very far behind. The way I will combat this is by actually committing to my goal of attempting 8 tasks and completing 6 to mastery a week. The most important part of this is to be simulating attempts. A large portion of this semester is general medical conditions. While I may have experiences with some conditions in the clinic, there are very many tasks that are not so likely to come into the clinic for an examination. Another way I plan to be proactive is by reading new research more often. I feel like this will expose me to a lot of new and interesting things in the athletic training profession. This brings me to my next goal, “I will develop my knowledge of therapeutic exercises by conducting research every 2 weeks on the best 2 exercises for each injury per body region throughout the semester.” I decided to make this a goal because I feel very comfortable in examining injuries, but now I believe it will be important for me to know how to effectively treat them. I feel like my classes this semester are fairly subdue in the level of difficulty, therefore, I will have time to be able to do research and progress my knowledge as a student. My final goal is to be able to present my research. This goal is not yet formed into a SMART goal, but I plan on accomplishing this goal by working with our ampersand center and attending sessions in order to prepare to present my clinical question. I really want to present my research because I enjoy talking about interesting things in the medical field. It will also be a good opportunity to push myself and meet some new professionals who may be pertinent to being successful after I graduate

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.
