Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship
Once I realized and decided that I no longer wanted to study Climatology for my senior project, the thought "mentor" rushed into my head. Who would mentor me? How would I find a mentor at such a short notice? I was worried and anxious because I remembered that finding my first mentor had been such a tiresome and laborious task, almost failing all together. Luckily, my dad shared with me that there are many family members in the medical profession. We called up a few family members and friends who could not help me, but there was still hope. That's when we called my Aunt Patty and she gladly told us that she knew just the person to mentor me. Amazingly, she knew two doctors that could do it. This news was pure joy since I had such a hard time even finding just one person, before. My Aunt Patty told me a couple of days later that a doctor in West Covina was happy to help me in my project and I would be able to start mentoring right away. However, I found out that he did medical works in podiatry, which was far from my interests. It was unfortunate that I could not mentor with him, and so my last hope lay with the doctor in El Monte. It took weeks to get through all of the confirmations with the doctor and the manager of his office, but finally it was all completed. My Aunt Patty finally told me that I had a mentor. I was so happy and that Monday, she took me to the office and introduced me to Dr. Bishara and the rest of the staff. Everyone was extremely kind and welcoming and I have had good times there ever since.
What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
The most important article that I have read so far is called, "ACP American College of Physicians -Internal Medicine- Doctors for Adults." Family practice deals with biological, behavioral, and clinical sciences. Treated are people of all ages and both genders, every organ system and disease. Family practice is a very wide and general scope. Lastly, there is a family relationship between each doctor and her patient. This article was most important because it showed exactly how family practice is and what a doctor does in this practice. This was important because it is part of my main focus in this project, which deals with the relationship between a doctor and patient and how a doctor can increase patient satisfaction.
