Medical Assistant Reflection

A time I used sequence and precise was when I first started my job as a medical assistant. I had never done this job before. So I wrote down everything I was being shown. I also wrote down step by step directions on how to do things in the computer and what to do with each patient. I would ask questions over and over to clarify that I was doing it correctly. When I was being told how to do things I would ask for explanations as to why we did things a certain way. This helped me a lot when patients would ask me why we do certain things. I asked a lot of questions about what we did and now I am able to explain to patients why they are on certain medications or why we are asking to do certain tests. I definitely switched between the two of these during the training process. I feel more comfortable when I am organized and doing things step by step while working.

I generally don't like to use confluence. But when I am around my mom I tend to use it. My mom is a very confluent person so when she talks she jumps from one topic to another. In order to keep up with her during a conversation, I start to talk in the same way. She will bring up a conversation and it will make me think of something I wanted to talk about and I will jump into a completely different topic.

Being aware of my learning patterns will help me use these learning patterns to my advantage and be a better learner. It can also help me in my personal relationships by being able to communicate more affectively with other people. If I understand how I learn and the kinds of learning patterns there are I may be able to recognize the pattern that person is using and adjust how I am communicating
