1. Please explain how you are spending your mentorship time (Is it at a workplace or somewhere else? Are you shadowing? Are you able to do tasks that are meaningfully related to the topic? If so, what? Are there other people who are experts in the location? Etc...)
I spend my mentorship time at a health care clinic that my mentor works at. I usually shadow her as she works and she will explain some information on how to treat a certain patient, however, there are times when Dr. Rosado asks me to make copies of certain forms she hands out to patients and/or their parents.
2. How did you find your mentor? How did you convince this person to help you?
My mentor is my pediatrician. I had once spoke to her on how I had thought of pursing a career in medicine. She had stated that if I had any questions that I could come talk to her. Upon learning that I was required to have a mentor for this project, she was the first person who came to mind. When I had the opportunity during the summer, I called her and asked if she would be my mentor. She said that she was more than happy to be my mentor, and we constructed a schedule on the days I would be able to visit and volunteer at her working environment.
3. How would you rate your comfort level with your mentor at this point in your relationship? How does this relate to the time you've spent so far at mentorship/with this person
On a scale of 1-10, I would say that the comfort level with my mentor at this point in my relationship is a 9 or a 10. Considering that my mentor is also my, and many other patients' pediatrician, my time spent with her as my mentor has been pleasant.
4. What went well in this interview? Why do you think so? What do you still need to improve? How do you know? How will you go about it?
I conducted the interview in my mentor's office. I think that was probably the best choice I made due to the fact that no one interrupted while the interview was in progress. I was able to interview my mentor without any distractions. Any improvements would have to revolve around more thought provoking questions and follow up questions. I will have to come up with better questions and pay better attention when listening to the people I interview to make follow up questions.
