Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

Please copy these questions and answer them in your own blog.  Don't forget an image to promote interest.

We'll have a house discussion in place of a research check this Friday to check in on how things are going. 

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
          I currently have a mentor, her name is Dr. Mayra Rosado. I have completed the interview.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   
      The areas I find most promising are neonatology, pediatric psychiatry, or developmental pediatrics. Neonatology was a topic my mentor was interested in studying during her time learning general pediatrics. Neonatology involves treating pre-mature babies with issues such as respiratory and cardiac. I had respiratory issues when I was a baby, and I would like to help those facing the same issues I once had. I am fascinated with psychiatry and would love to possibly major in pediatric psychiatry. Developmental pediatrics is similar to both fields, therefore, allowing me to study both topics that I am interested in.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
        
Sources that will help me in the next month to gain more research depth include articles and books. I will receive these sources through the Cal Poly Pomona archives as well as searches through the Internet.
 

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
        A possible essential question is what is the best method of approach when handling a new patient?
