I hope you
all didn’t mind the last post with the poetry about peaches, but I just couldn’t
keep myself from waxing poetic about the beautiful fruit of summer. J If you can’t tell from the last post
about peaches, I am a bit of a free spirit, but I am also a deep thinker. Oh
boy do I think. Even in my sleep I am thinking. Truly. I think a lot about you,
the student and about how we teach you, the student. And about what you, the student
will do with all this knowledge. Are we giving you enough knowledge? In the
right way? Are we giving you too much information? Are we reaching more than
just your head? Are we reaching your heart? Because certainly to be in the
health care field for any length of time you must have a heart for your patients.
Talk to any
teacher/professor and they will tell you how their teaching philosophy was
shaped by the teachers in their lives...both good and bad. As I think about the teachers that have influenced
my life, I wonder, who has influenced yours? How will that influence impact you
as you work with patients? What qualities as a health care practitioner and as
a person do you want to convey to your patients? Why? Are we teaching you how
to do this in the classroom? Can we?
