My Last Day at Southern Philippines Medical Center...

Finally, it was my last day for my immersion at SPMC. Supposedly, I still have one week more to go, based on my mentor’s blueprint. However, because I was able to present my additional task completely, a request of mine was granted to shorten my schedule considering I still have other requirements to accomplish with TIP which is due on the first day of the following week.

The last day of my immersion started with a review of my draft capsule project proposal for teledermatology, following the same template used in the previous project. After having it reviewed, my mentor and I discussed in detail the parts of the document I have drafted. As I approached in the last few pages of my presentation, I asked my mentor if he has some comments and suggestions. “So far so good, please continue” was the statement I heard from him. A statement that was good to hear, so I continued my presentation until the last page. My mentor seemed to be very satisfied as he asked me to email the capsule proposal along with the other documents without modification. I felt happy that day, not only because I was able to accomplish my task according to his expectation, but instead, because while I was writing the capsule project proposal, another idea came to my mind regarding the potential topic for my dissertation, that was something related to teledermatology. Though I still have no specific area of teledermatology to consider, the good thing about this is I have something to think off. It has been common to all students taking up capstone project, thesis or dissertation subjects, that the biggest problem in thinking for a good topic was to look for a problem.

The day ended with a simple awarding of certificate of attendance for satisfactory completion of my immersion at Southern Philippines Medical Center from May 4, 2017, to May 22, 2017. The certificate was signed by my mentor and the head of IHOMP. It was a great learning experience being a part of a great support unit of Southern Philippines Medical Center.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SPMC-IHOMP....
