SMART GOALS
1. Expand my knowledge of the medical field by shadowing a number of physicians and exploring various departments (specifically pathology, general medicine, and radiology).
2. Build my research skills and grow comfortable with using medical databases and libraries to learn about a given disease or health concern.
3. Strengthen my skills in interacting with physicians and working in a professional environment.
4. Gain a solid understanding of the tasks and activities that make up a physician’s daily life and discover what sorts of personal qualities or abilities are required in order to succeed in medicine.
5. Keep up the connections I formed with UVMC and Dr. Sharon Mount over the summer and find out what steps I should take in the future to continue to learn about the medical field (this could involve setting up future shadowing experiences, or learning about the best pre-medicine majors in college and the best medical schools).
