Apprentice
we have a student with us (for 6 months) gaining some experience with audiology works. whenever i'm at our main office, she's with me. she does most of the work but i guide her through the system. she's still nervous dealing with actual patients and it takes a lot of will power on my part not to interfere. and that could be hard! imagine trying to see patients in their specified times without running over!
i could just remember how i started =p. but hey, you get better over the years (and i've been doing this since 1999!). so i have to be patient and i make sure i don't interrupt unless necessary and called for bec. it would be very embarrassing for her.
i enjoy having a student with me. admittedly, everytime they will book one with me (could be a BSc, MSc or med students), i really feel nervous and would often consider calling in sick *lol*. pero i don't. i go to work and go through my day's list. when i'm with them na, all apprehensions disappear - syempre, la naman sila masyadong alam no! hahaha. i just need to pretend i know a lot of things (joke!).
siguro, i feel that way (anxious) bec. i'll be handling foreign students and baka maubusan ako ng english (hahaha). seriously, they could be intimidating at times and would really try and see whether you really know what you're talking about. buti nd pa ako pumapalpak =p. they are even impressed bec. i did not do my training here in uk yet, my knowledge and skills are actually better than most of them *ahem* (modesty aside - totoo naman e!) =p
i am really proud of where i am from. excellent teachers, world-class facilities, good exposures. i think audiology in the philippines (ust ha!) is the best! =p
