Reaction : 2nd Observation

During this second observation, I expected to see the students work with the athletes and not to be tested on which medical supplies and equipment that they knew. It was also shorter than a typical rotation that usually last four hours. I realized that it was important to know this information as each student completed his or her task. I was surprised that most of the students did not have difficulty in completing their tasks. The students are determined to become athletic trainers because this program is very competitive at this university, and many do not pass to higher levels. This second observation was more of an introduction like the first observation which included the basics of the program. For future observations, I will go to sporting events which will probably more intriguing so I can see more active clinical experiences by the students in the program.
