I had a great week with SR-AHEC Continuing Medical Education Department.  I had the chance to shadow a “Grand Rounds” at Cape Fear Valley Hospital headed by Dr. Fernando Gonzales from Duke University Hospital.  Dr. Gonzales presented a better treatment technology for patients with Cerebral Aneurysm to doctors, residents, Pharm doctors and nurses.

Another Continuing Medical Education session that I attended this week was about Forensic Dentistry.  The CME session was headed by Dr. Richard Barbaro. I thought that it was a great experience to learn how forensic dentistry is important in a particular crime scene.

With these great experiences with SR-AHEC,I find it very helpful in writing and developing a curriculum for 8th grade science. The lesson plan that I am currently developing will focus on health literacy, health care providers and health care consumers with real-world applications. I thought that my externship is a perfect match with my 8th grade science biology curriculum. I plan to teach this lesson during the second nine weeks (2nd Quarter).
