Research and Working EQ

Content:

1.  What is your working EQ?
a. What is the best way to provide medical care to developing countries?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 
  •  EQ. What is the best way to provide medical care to developing countries?
a. To send licensed doctors and specialists into developing countries to train and teach local medical practitioners rather than perform the surgeries themselves.  

 3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 
a. I've mentioned it a few times, but my 18th article really opened my eyes to how a medical organization can actually make a huge difference and actually get rid of a major problem. Their philosophy is "teach a man to fish..." and is how I came up with my possible EQ answer in teaching local doctors to provide year round service rather than send a team of doctors who can only work for a few weeks.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
a. My mentor is Robinson V. Baron and I am participating in monthly medical missions to Tecate, Mexico and am also going to double up by volunteering in the E.R at Citrus Valley Hospital. In Mexico, I take care of whatever needs doing from cooking to fetching medication for patients. At the hospital I take vital signs, clean rooms, and make the patients comfortable.

Blog 7: Independent component


1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
A. During my summer mentorship I took part in a medical mission to Tecate, Mexico. This mission takes place every other month and I will be continuing to participate in them. On top of that I will be volunteering in the E. R at citrus Valley hospital to increase my comfort in high stress level medical scenarios. 
2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
A. To show evidence of my 30 hours I know I can take pictures on the medical mission to Mexico, but as for working at the hospital, I would be writing essays about my experiences and be able to obtain a transcript of my logged hours. 
3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
A. My too c is medical missionary work, so the missions to Mexico will be the greatest asset to me as to gaining more depth in the subject. On top of that, I have started to formulate my own ideas on medical missionary work and what they should be based on my research, which my extra blog for September is based on. The E. R volunteer work is to better help me get used to high level stress situations and while I can't take part in any surgical work, I know from past experience I will be in the room comforting the patients themselves. 4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your mentorship log and call it the independent component 1 log.
