I’m a first semester A&P tutor now! My A&P instructor, Dr. Allen, recommended me to be an A&P tutor. I thanked her very much and felt very proud, but I told her that I probably could not spare the time. However, after some research and further consideration, I decided to accept the position. I'm now officially part of the El Centro College Professional Support Staff as a peer tutor in the first semester A&P lab. I'm only working in 4 labs for a total of 6 hours per week, but it's a start. I’m tutoring more for the experience, than the little it pays, and because I love to teach! I’m also hoping the experience will look good on my application for the Sonography program.
I’m working with two other students in A&P. We all got A’s on our first lab quiz. We’ve been studying together and working on a study guide for the first lecture exam which is coming up next week.
My Pathophysiology class has gotten off to a slow start, mostly due to technical problems with our eCampus site. It should be a pretty interesting class though. Mr. Walther is really funny. Although I’m not looking forward to some of the pics he’ll be showing us. He really likes to gross out students with graphic images of medical problems. Ugh!
The General Health Professions Management course is proving to be much more interesting than the book titled, “Law & Ethics for Medical Careers” seemed to indicate it would be. There are NO exams! Yeah! But there are lots of assignments. We have to submit a summary of a health related article every week. That’s proved to be very interesting. I try to pick the most unusual subject I can find. So far I’ve read about a Southlake, Texas doctor that rebuilt a 2 year olds face, how the concept of a mid-life crisis has become an outdated myth and about the immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks (this one is really cool). I’ve gotten 100% so far on all my work for this class.

Man, you just keep on pluggin away @ the medical stuff. Am sure you are in some deep water, but you are real smart. Just gotta have a reason to see it through. I like your picture with the red hair. (Might take a little getting used to). Keep up the good work.
