Weekly Progress Blog for 12/10-12/16 

 
Monday 12/10: ​Today I continued to work on remaking my digital portfolio from a Google Site 
to a Weebly. I also made sure that I had all the necessary supplies to create my physical 
portfolio including a black binder, grey resume paper, and page protectors.  
 
Tuesday 12/11: T ​ oday drove to the Children’s Dallas Location to have a mentor visit with Dr. 
Reeder. I was able to sit in on a case study report that she did with the medical students at 
Children’s, on their only rotation at the Reach Clinic. I listened as Dr. Reeder asked the 
students various questions about what processes they would do if said patient was under their 
care. Her main goal was to stress that these emerging physicians keep child abuse on their 
differential diagnosis.  
 
Wednesday 12/12: ​Today I printed out everything that I needed for my physical portfolio, as 
well as created title pages and divider pages. I made any necessary revisions to my work before 
putting it in the portfolio. I also put finishing touches on my digital portfolio, making sure that 
all the necessary documents were there.  
 
Thursday 12/13: ​Today I brought my portfolio for review in class. I was happy with the way that 
it looked, and everything was professional. My mistakes included; no dividers, and a few things 
were out of the correct order.  
 
Friday 12/14: T​ oday I took a necessary break from ISM work.  
 
Saturday 12/15 & Sunday 12/16:​ Over the weekend I sent an email to Dr. Reeder regarding 
meeting for the following week. I also designed my winter research showcase invitations, sent 
them to the print shop, and picked them up. I purchased all the necessary supplies to complete 
my display board including the actual board, grey paint, decorative border paper, and white 
cardstock. I came home and painted my white foam board with light grey paint. Lastly, I 
prepared everything that I will print off and put on the board so that, when it is dried and 
ready, I can place everything on it.  
 
Reflection: T​ his week I am very happy with the progress I made. I got to have another amazing 
mentor experience with Dr. Reeder and see what actual medical students learn from a child 
abuse standpoint. I also got to experience the Dallas location, which is very different from 
Plano in the sense that it is much bigger and the staff is much more expansive. I am also proud 
that I was able to create a portfolio showcasing everything I have done in only half a year, I was 
able to look back and have something to show for it. I am also glad I was able to get started on 
my display board because it means I am one step closer to winter showcase and I am able to let 
my creativity loose.  
 
Action/Goals:  
● Hand out my winter showcase invitations to my teachers  
● Finish my display board and be ready to show it off
