Final Clinical Post

As I was preparing to write this blog I was thinking about how far I have come in the past year. Last year at this time I was preparing to start my clinicals. I was nervous and unsure if I would really be able to learn it all. I had many frustrating days when I thought I would never be able to remember it all. Now I am able to scan on my own confidently. Even exams I have not done before I am able to understand the concept of the planes and ask questions prior to the patient arriving so I am able to scan confidently on my own. I never thought this would have been possible. I feel that I have learned a great deal and know that I will continue learning every day. I would still like to be able to identify pathology a better as well as recognize what additional scans our radiologists would like with certain pathology, but I know this will come in time. I am anxious now to take my boards in a few months!
