Over the past four months I have been working in a highly paced environment where I find I excel under pressure. In my externship site I’ve learned excellent interpersonal skills with not only the doctors and staff but also with the patients seeking care. One of my main goals while working with every patient that comes through our door is making sure that the images I take are of perfect quality in order to help our doctors easily diagnose our patients. While working at my externship I also opted to take a seminar that was offered where I was taught how to apply casts and splints to patients and I believe I have become quite proficient in the skill. I look forward to the ability to grow in this career field and I am open to learning whatever I can to make me of service for the people I work with and the patients I assist.
During my time in externship I was able to learn an array of skills consisting with; patient communication, patient positioning based on different doctors specific views, x-ray per and post operations, and basic casting and splint application/removal.
