Secondly, starting into the second semester of my masters program, I have started my internship at St. Lukes Mountain States Tumor Institute doing medical social work. I only have done a few days but am enjoying this new learning opportunity and the experiences I will gain.
Ending the summer, school is nearing once again. I will be spending 20 per week at the hospital for 600 hours. This time will be accounted for in a Practicum 575 "class" paired with Seminar 577. The other classes are Advanced Interventions 550, Advanced Research 532, Evaluation and Treatment of Mental Disorders 526. Again, busy BUSY!!!!
All of this is SOOO INTERESTING to me. The inter-workings of the mind and the idea of cognition (thinking), memory, thought processes, etc!! I can't get enough!!!
MORE on my plate...I got a call yesterday from a gal on a panel board with the Department of Health and Welfare asking me to be a part of their "Keeping Childrem Safe" team. A description from there webpage stated..."These panels examine how Idaho’s Child Protection System works and make recommendations for improvement. Panels have focused on providing independent analysis of how the child protection system responds to abuse and neglect and on overall community supports for children and families in crisis. " I was also asked to gather additional resources from my contact list and the resources I have access too!! How exciting to be apart of something so important and be developing a professional reputation at such a young age.
These are ALL so important to me and I couldn't ask for more. I believe there is good in the world, but recognizing it is a process, and must be overcome, one step at a time!!!!!
