10/31-11/6

I would like to reflect on my goal of: expanding my knowledge of evaluation skills and executing of special tests in order to become more accurate in diagnosing injuries. I feel like I have definitely made a lot of progress in this category of my goals. Being with the football team has allowed me to have a ton of opportunities to perform clinical evaluations. In doing so, I have gotten a lot of practice with the special tests and diagnosing a variety of injuries with accuracy. I have also gotten comfortable with the hip, a section that i struggled with severely last year and was nervous about coming into this year. I believe the independence with evaluations has pushed me to be more analytical and pick situations apart more in order to come up with my ideas and how I should proceed in an evaluation. As for my other goals, I am on track with my goal of completing my clinical question research in the Month of November. My goal of completing 10 masteries per week has slacked as of late. I started off strong early in the semester with filling out everything I did and getting signatures, but I have not been doing so well with it lately. I have a lot of attempts and masteries that I can get credit for from both clinical experience and PBL's, but I need to fill them out and get them signed. I feel like I am in a more comfortable position with attempts and masteries this semester than the past two, despite slacking as of late.
