I'm so excited about heading to Joondalup on Monday! This placement is going to be a lot more challenging than UCH last year and for that i'm surprisingly glad! I'm looking forward to see many total knees, hips and other common orthopedic injuries and i'm expecting to pick up a lot of great rehab exercises from the next 5 weeks.
I've been warned that with this placement i have to ask many questions to get a worthwhile experience out of the staff there and actively participate in order to learn.
I think my role initially will be one of observation but then hopefully Chris and I will be able to take on patients of our own. We've been asked to bring bathers so i assume we'll be doing some hydrotherapy which is always exciting. I'm looking forward to the hands on experience with patients and being able see how physios function in a hospital setting. I wonder what the politics are like at Joondalup?
My concerns right now are "do i know enough for this placement?", "will i get along with my supervisor?", "will i be stumped when i'm asked questions?", "was there anything i could have done better?", "will i find parking up at the hospital or would it be easier to catch the train?"
Anyways i'm looking forward to an exciting fun filled 5 weeks of intense learning! :D
