My journey with Kenan Fellows Program is full of “a-ha” moments. I started my journey as a “young” Kenan learning new technology applications, teaching strategies, new tricks and most of all learning new acronyms!

Here are the new acronyms that I learned during my externship at SR-AHEC:

SR-AHEC – Southern Regional Area Health Education Center; CME – Continuing Medical Education; AHA – American Health Association; EBP Center- Evidence-Based Practices; NICE – Nurses Interested in Continuing Education Program; ORPCE – Office of Regional Primary Care Education; PCMH – Patient Centered Medical Home; CMDT– Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment; RAP – resistance against pressure; DD – didactic lecture; PCMH – Patient Center Medical Home; EMR – Electronic Medical Record; P4P – Pay for Performance; ACGME – Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education; PQRS – Physician’s Quality Reporting System; TLH – Teach, Learn and Heal.

I thought I would never learn about SR-AHEC.  I thought it was complicated to put everything about SR-AHEC in developing my curriculum. However, I am very fortunate that my mentor has been super supportive during my externship and also very hands-on in helping me to create a curriculum that is based on real-world STEM focusing on health literacy.
