There are some challenges involved in transitioning from a student intern to a qualified practitioner. Being a student intern was a great experience in my life where I learned chiropractic theory and knowledge and was practicing the different manipulation techniques. Being a qualified practitioner is a part of a job where I need to apply all the knowledge and skills that I have learned before. As far as I know, being a doctor in a real life is not same as being a student intern. both of them are totally different. For example, before this, I need an hour to perform a full history taking, physical examination, and treatment. However, after being a qualified practitioner, I have to finish all of this less than on hour. it means that I need to …show more content…
In term of clinic flow during the student intern, it is far different from the chiropractic practitioner. In real life, a qualified chiropractor needs to prioritize care and quick pace of seeing multiple patients in a limited time period and this was considered as being realistic for the future clinical practices. Probably I will meet a maximum of 15 to 20 patients in a day, so I have to treat all the patients with the best treatment and management. In term of decision making, as a student intern, I have my own time to think and discuss with my colleagues and my clinicians if I am unsure on particular things, but as a qualified practitioner later, I need to think on my own feet, being more responsible on what I decided to do. I need to be able to make decisions about the type of exam to perform, where I want to perform the exams and how to address patient-care concerns. Apart from that, I also need to refer patients to other healthcare providers. No one will help or guide me like anymore. “It's like a mini detective novel whereby each person needs to be able to solve the cases and get rewards and that gave me not only the confidence but also the absolute certainty that complimenting me this is what I'm supposed to be doing”. As a qualified

o Type of healthcare worker: Nurse practitioner o When this type of work entered the market: The medical profession of nurse practitioner was developed in the mid 1960s. The job of nurse practitioners grew from implementing work from primary care physicians into that of traditional nurses. o Reasons for creation and growth: In the late 1950s and early 1960s, increased specialization amongst physicians was taking place, which led to many doctors exploring other avenues of medicine, resulting in a large shortage of physicians practicing primary care. This left many rural and inner city areas with very limited access to medical care.

The occupations that I have chosen to analyze using the three elements for this assignment are paraprofessional, what I am currently, and a teacher, what I am going to college to become. Teachers and paraprofessionals work side by side, collaborate, plan, and share many of the same experiences. However, paraprofessionals are often not treated as equals and has created some ethical judgement regarding treatment of the paraprofessionals from other teachers and administrators in the business of education.

I like problem solving and the challenge of being faced with a set of symptoms to figure out the diagnosis. With my preceptors, I experienced the intricate thought processes involved in managing patients with multiple co-morbidities. Going to my clerkship everyday was exciting in not knowing what I will encounter; it can be an acute or chronic condition or a combination involving any system of the body. At times, I also observed my preceptor play an initial role of a specialist such as a cardiologist or nephrologist. I respect the vast knowledge internists possess and their integration into practice. During my clerkship, I felt like every day was an adventure of problem solving which is appealing to me as a
