In order to be an ideal clinician, it is important that you possess some very important traits. Empathic, compassionate, energetic, thoughtful, creative, confident, and friendly are just a few of these important traits. All of these traits help make the clinician the best that they could be for the patient. The patient is the top priority and possessing these traits will help the patient’s progress and well being in treatment. Not only is acquiring these traits important, but using these traits in skills that can be used in sessions are just as important too. For example, by being compassionate you are showing the patient that you care about them and are trying to help them succeed. Another important quality for a clinician is the ability …show more content…
The Origami Rehabilitation Center helps patients who have experienced some sort of brain injury from a stroke to an accident. I believe that Juliane possess the important traits and qualities of an ideal clinician. Juliane would begin each session with a short conversation with the patient. Not only was she asking questions about the patient and their life, but she would also ask questions about the patient’s family. I found this amazing as she showed the patient that she cares about their life outside of the session. This short conversation went above and beyond any other clinicians I have observed. Furthermore, even with the caseload of patients Juliane sees, she was mindful to each patient. She made clear that each session was “client-centered” and understood the patient’s frustration or feelings. In conclusion, the time I spent at Origami was an extraordinary and eye-opening experience that I can honestly say I will remember forever. And it was not due to the patient’s I was able to observe, but because I was fortunate enough to observe Juliane. Juliane is someone whom truly cares about what she does and her patients. And that is what makes her the most ideal clinician I have ever had the chance to
I believe my biggest strength as a nursing student is my attention to detail. In all of my assignments I take extra time to ensure that my work has gone above and beyond what is expected. This will also be true with my patients. I want to ensure that I am giving my patients the best
Some may argue that the quality of medical treatment and technology are the most important attributes to a successful recovery. Relman stayed at two hospital facilities during his recovery. The first was Massachusetts General Hospital, and the second was the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Cambridge. Both facilities belonged to the Partners Health System and, therefore, had similar technologies available. Relman mentions multiple times that his care at Spaulding, as opposed to Massachusetts General, was “sometimes excellent but often inadequate.” (Relman) He came to these conclusions based on how he was personally treated as a patient, rather than based on the quality of the treatments. At Spaulding, multiple physicians treated Relman. His main physician went on vacation so multiple associates stepped in to check up on him throughout his stay. None of these associates made him feel comfortable as a patient. They tended strictly to his dire needs and did not spend much time with him beyond primary...

Medical Assistants are the ones that the patient sees first; they are the face of the healthcare facility. For the past 10 years I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I love my job but I want to do more. A medical assistant job is not for everyone a good medical assistant has to have patient to deal with the different type of attitude and behaviors you have to deal with. This paper will cover some topics that I feel are the best qualities that a medical assistant should have.
The main aim of this reflection is to demonstrate that I provided this care. During my training as a student nurse, I have been involved with many patients with complex needs of a with the support of a mentor, however this was, primarily, the first time since qualified and on completion of my registration that I became responsible and accountable for my practice.
Meeting the needs and what is best for the patient which is the outcome of the care, building
As a result, I always felt that I am actively participating in patients’ care. She allowed me to perform patient examinations most of the time and encouraged me to build up a good rapport with the patients. I think my past experience and medical knowledge was helped me lot during the history taking because I was able to go through history taking in a systematic manner and at the same time I could think of possible differential diagnosis. Furthermore, working in a medical clinic as a physician assistant also helped me a lot because one of the responsibilities delegated to me is taking patients history, however, this time it was different that I had to work out and actively think about a possible cause for patient concerns. The weakness I observe during history taking was sometimes I am little quick that might hurt the doctor-patient relationship, So, I am planning to improve my listening skill with less interruption to patients, I believe that might help the patient to express their concerns freely. Also, I am determined to listen to patients concerns in a non- judgemental manner to get the unbiased clinical
One of these qualities is being self-aware, which means being able to assess personal performance and work towards improving it, as well as being open to and accepting both criticism and praise. Being able to set boundaries also can play a role in this. By knowing your role and any personal limitations it can be beneficial in understanding how much can get done in a certain amount of time. Another quality includes being an active listening and reflecting on what the client is saying, as well as being able to understand and read both verbal and non-verbal language. In social work, it is also important to show compassion for what you are doing and to be empathetic towards a client’s situation and
I found a job as CNA for the patient who had disabilities. One patient in particular changed the direction of my life and started me thinking about working in medicine. I took care of an older woman who was unable to ambulate due to her diagnosis of stroke. She experienced chronic weakness of bilateral lower extremity so I supported her with my arms to steady her. When I looked into her eyes, I could feel her saying, “you truly care about me, understand me, and thank you for taking the time to sense my expression and desire.” That’s the care all of us have deep inside, where our motives no longer become self-seeking but other-seeking. This care has the power to exponentially change that person’s life and the lives of others. It is true that other patients helped me decide to go into medicine, but Stacy had the biggest impact in my
When asking a nurse why they became a nurse the first statement that they will often provide you with is centered around their love to care for others. To provide effective care it is important for a nurse to care for the whole person not just their injuries. Through the use of therapeutic touch and conversations as well as treating each patient as an individual, this enables more in depth care to be provided to each patient that a nurse treats. I hold this facet up to the highest standards as providing equal and respectful care to each client in regards to their emotional, mental, physical, and cultural needs makes all of the difference to a patient in the healing process and person-centered nursing.
... properly interact and communicate well with their clients, they need to be emotionally intelligent, self aware, create a therapeutic relationship and develop reflective practices. All of the above contributes to an individual’s health and so it’s very important that we are able to control our emotions, correct and learn from our mistakes, examine and balance our life and create a therapeutic environment so that our clients feel comfortable, safe and trust us enough to live their life in our hands.
I think it is important that I clarify my own values to ensure that my care is client-centered. Self- reflection during care is also fundamental as it makes me aware of my actions and whether they are establishing a therapeutic relationship or doing the opposite.. Finally, I need to learn to be more empathetic towards my patient’s situations by being interactive, gaining insight and avoid being focused on the task and more on being with the situation. Some things that I will preserve are attentively listening, demonstrating attending behaviours and maintaining my patient’s dignity by ensuring privacy and
As a restorative aide, I lead a group of twenty-five to thirty clients through therapeutic activities that work on their gross motor, cognitive, fine motor, sensory, social, and behavior skills. I also carry out individual therapy sessions assigned by occupational therapists, and document individual progress notes. I work as an internal case manager for the clients, and I assist with the evaluation of each client according to his or her backgrounds, activity interests, abilities, and physical limitations to help develop a meaningful therapeutic activity for each person. This job has allowed me to use my creativity and design new fun activities every session to keep clients motivated. I work with clients who have traumatic brain injuries, dementia, and other cognitive and physical disabilities. I’ve developed interpersonal skills and learned the importance of reassurance, redirection, and patience with clients who may become easily confused and anxious. This job has allowed me to build trusting relationships with clients, and further confirmed my passion to become an occupational
