R8 Site Eval Reflection

My recent site evaluation with Professor Mohamed was an enriching experience that underscored the importance of continuous learning and collaboration. During the session, I had the opportunity to learn about bifurcate uteruses through a fascinating case presented by my classmate Hannah. This case expanded my knowledge of reproductive anatomy and underscored the complexities we may encounter in various clinical settings.

I also presented my journal article on implementing opt-out hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing in the emergency department. Professor Mohamed expressed strong support for the article, noting its potential impact on patient outcomes. He even mentioned plans to share it at his next staff meeting, with hopes of advocating for opt-out HCV testing at the ED where he practices. It was incredibly rewarding to see my research have such a positive reception and to know it could influence future protocols to improve HCV detection and care.

This evaluation highlighted the value of bringing evidence-based practices into our rotations and the power of shared learning. Professor Mohamed’s feedback was encouraging and has motivated me to continue engaging with research that could have a real impact on patient care.
