Where are you placed this year?
Denver Health
Describe your "typical" day (or lack of "typical" day)
At Denver Health we have different schedules: adult evaluations, pediatric evaluations and hearing aids, ENT, adult hearing aids, and special testing (vestibular and diagnostic ABR). Each day/week looks a little bit different for me. One day I might be doing a follow-up newborn hearing screening and the next day I'll be doing a VNG. I've also started doing intraoperative monitoring, which is super neat! All the different schedules give me a great variety and I learn something new every day.
What's something important that you've learned at your placement so far?
I've learned that flexibility and willingness to ask for help are key to a great workplace. Sometimes the schedule is crazy and a patient shows up 45 minutes late, and you have to be willing to jump around and help your co-workers, as well as not be afraid to ask for help. This makes everything run more smoothly and ensures patients are getting the best care as quickly as possible. Teamwork makes the dream work!
