3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
How else can I find more information on caring for patients?
4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC 2, possible experts to talk to, etc.).
What do doctors do to train for direct patient care?
5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ.
What does a team of medical professionals normally include?
What are some difficulties they might face in trying to provide patient-centered care?
The interview transcript is due to turnitin.com with the 5-minute audio excerpt and entry to the blog on Friday, February 19th. In addition, you need to turn in the verification sheet to your house teacher.

Blog 13 – 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am currently doing my mentorship at two locations:
a. Pax Pharmacy – 931 Buena Vista St #104, Duarte, CA 91010
b. Dr. Alicia Cuento – 931 Buena Vista St #100, Duarte, CA 91010
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
a. Alicia Cuento, MD:
Dr. Alicia Cuento earned her medical degree from the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, completed her internship at Christ Hospital in New Jersey and completed her residency at White Memorial hospital in Los Angeles. She has over 35 years of experience in pediatrics.
b. Michel Daher, PharmD:
Dr. Michel Daher earned his pharmacy degree from Oregon Health and Science University. He completed his internship at the university's Old Town Clinic. He technically has 2 years of experience in pharmacy. He owns a pharmacy, following the footsteps of his father who was also a pharmacist and had his own pharmacy.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in you Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
So far I have done 20 hours of mentorship.
As previously discussed with Mr. Rivas, I am also completing my Independent Component #1 hours at the pharmacy by working extra hours.
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
a. I have not done any mentorship hours so far with Dr. Alicia Cuento during the school year (I did my summer mentorship hours with her) but I plan to complete more mentorship hours with her by shadowing her and helping her with whatever I am allowed to do (over the summer it was mostly paperwork).
b. At Pax Pharmacy, I have helped prepare some medicines for patients and worked on some paperwork. Since most of the work at the pharmacy can only be done by medical professionals, I think I might continue to do the same kind of work to complete the remaining hours.
*You need 50 hours plus the original 10 in the summer by May. The original 10 from the summer do not count toward the 50. By the end of the year, you will have 60 hours counting that original 10.

Blog 12 – Holiday Project Update
 |
| Me on the first day back to school |
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
I actually got sick twice during break so I wasn't able to do as much as I had wanted to do.
I still continued my mentorship but I only went for one day instead of two days. I was, however, able to add a few more sources to my research.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing that I learned from both my mentorship and my research is that communication between the patient and medical staff is very important. Once there was a patient who almost took too much of a medicine. The doctor misunderstood the patient's age and gave the wrong dosage. Luckily the pharmacist (aka my mentor :D ) caught the doctor's mistake and was able to fix it before giving the patient her medicine.
3. Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
I plan to interview my mentor, Michel Daher, PharmD, for my third interview because I have already briefly discussed my senior project and working essential question with him.
