Self-Assessment Dec 2018

The following areas were identified as "needs improvement" in his self-assessment as of Dec 2018:

Has not completed an ENT or Dermatology Clinic observation yet.

Clinical Performance in Peds Block:

• I could probably use some improvement in physical exam skills in infants/toddlers, as this is never something I really learned in medical school. See full self-assessment doc for areas he feels confident within this topic.

QI Project:

• I would like to tie this to my research project (i.e. compliance with guidelines), but haven't thought about this too much yet.

Identify areas of weakness:

• I do feel that even when I read and prepare on my own time, I could be doing so much more. I don't think I'm the best at physical exam and procedures (for the latter, especially intradermal skin testing)

How will you improve in these areas:

• Creating a more scheduled plan for reading - i.e. read about one general topic each week and plan in advance. Try to see more patients in clinic that require special testing.

What are your strengths:

• Interpreting and applying literature to clinical practice. Confidence in being able to give an assessment and plan before attending critique. Clinical experience already gained during residency and further improved during fellowship.
