Mid-Term
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is my last day of clinical before the mid-term break. I’ll be finishing up my ortho rotation and moving into an outpatient imaging center starting on October 20th. This outpatient center is the same site where I had my very first clinical rotation, so I’m sorta excited about going back there once again. Hopefully the staff technologists will be able to recognize some amount of improvement in my skills.
Looking over my list of comps that I can still get, there are a few that I might be able to pick up at the outpatient center. I have all 15 comps that I need for this semester and one additional to carry over to next semester, so I’m good to go in that arena. Here’s what I hope to get in the second half, and the barium enema is a MUST while I’m at the outpatient center:
Ribs (required)
Barium Enema (required)
Orbits (elective)
Cystography/Cystourethrography (elective)
Pediatric Abdomen (elective)
Esophagram (elective)
I’m not sure if I’ll get all or any of these with the exception of the barium enema. I was told I’d get rib exams at this site. I don’t see very many of those, so hopefully I’ll see some soon.
