Current Cycle: June 2018 - July 2020 

Self-Assessment May 2019

The following are items she listed as "needs improvement" in the self-assessment as of Dec 2018

Clinical Performance - Adult

  • Satisfactory. I still need to work on my comfort in developing management plans independently

Clinical Performance - Peds

    • Satisfactory. I still need to work on evaluation and management of immunologic diseases but this is improving.
  • Has not completed an ENT or Derm clinic rotation

    Identify areas of weakness:

    • I need to work on developing broad differentials and management plans independently. I tend to second guess myself when it comes to management so becoming more confident will come with more experience.

    How will you improve in these areas:

    • Continuing to read about patients and diseases is crucial to my learning. Board review, friday conferences, and grand rounds have been particularly helpful. A better understanding of the basic science of allergy will also be helpful.

    What are your strengths:

    • I work hard and am trying to improve. I try to take constructive criticism and grow from it. Identifying weaknesses and deficits in understanding is also a strength.
