1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
The most important thing I learned from the interview with my mentor is how important it is to be sensitive to symptoms when diagnosing and treating patients. In pediatrics, it is especially hard to diagnose a patient who is barely learning how to communicate. During the interview, Dr. Cuento compared the differences between an adult patients and very young patients – an adult can more easily describe symptoms compared to a young child who can barely talk.
2. Did I get additional resources and contacts? What is the most useful? Why?
Unfortunately, my mentor didn't suggest any resources. However, she did suggest another doctor who I could interview – her son. Her son is also a pediatrician and works in the same medical office Dr. Cuento works in.
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
Dr. Alicia Cuento has over thirty-five years of experience in pediatrics and has had experience in the medical field in the Philippines, New Jersey, and Los Angeles.

Mr. Rivas: I had scheduled this to be published today at 7:30am. Since I accidentally clicked "Save" instead of "Publish" last night, this didn't get published until now, after school.
