I had a great time at Advantage. It was such a collaborative team feel here. I really got to work with everyone and feel like I got to experience a lot of very different areas that Advantage has to offer me. I feel like I got to see a lot of very interesting patients and very different interesting cases, and I feel like I learned a lot and grew a lot in my clinical reasoning here.
The patients feel like family to us. They always come first as a person. We always look at them like from a holistic standpoint. We really got to know the patients and know a lot about them, their family, their hobbies, everything like that.
So I started this because this was my first rotation, so I started very timid, very shy, more willing to just kind of stand back and watch my C.I. I was always scared of being wrong and not kind of like, I guess like voicing my opinions or, you know, like not taking that initiative at first. But now, because everyone made me feel so comfortable, I’m much more willing to jump in there to ask questions, to try things out, even if I know that I’m not going to do it correctly the first time and kind of struggle my way through it. They made that experience very positive for me.
I really got to improve upon exercise progression and regression and I like working a patient through their entire plan of care. I think one of the biggest goals that I learned is soft skills.
I think that the student like the clinic as a whole really values their student, and really makes the time and effort to teach students. They take time to really mentor students.
It’s really a good balance, honestly, of, you know, like helping to teach and also like giving students independence as well. I think that your students are just going to be exposed to so much here and learn so much about not just clinical reasoning and case management stuff, but really just also about the business side of things as well. And about just people skills as well.
It’s a great location. You’re right next to the beach. Ventura has such a cool community that seems so close-knit. I feel like Ventura has become like a little bit of my home as well.
I just want to say thank you so much to the team at Advantage. I’m going to take I know that I’m going to take all the lessons that you guys have taught me into the rest of my career.
