Where to go next…

Well today’s theme we choose to talk about where we want to do our practical experience before we graduate. Right now we are thinking a lot about this subject because we have to do it next year to get our degree. Every decision is up to us, where, when, for how long… those are a lot of decisions to make. Right now I have some ideas about what I would like to do next year.

First of all, I am thinking about doing two practical experiences instead of one. They would be each 20 hours a week. I like this idea because this way I can explore two things that I like, in this case studying about children and gaining clinical experience.

To do this, I have as an option to do my first practical experience on a charity foundation called Fundacek. This organization works with kids to help them developt their talent. In this position I would have the opportunity to investigate more about this field and I would even have a theme for my thesis. This seems like a good place to work because they are just starting so it is a little organization open to new ideas. The foundation is also in a good location, very close to the “Pedro de Valdivia” station of the subway.

Even if a I love the idea of learning more about children, I feel that if I only did this, I would miss

the clinical experience and because of that I am thinking about a second practical experience in the “DAE” where we would work with students of the Faculty of Medicine of our University. They come to consult for a lot of different causes so it would definitely be a good practical experience. I would learn a lot about treating patients.
