GOALS
As the academic year draws to a close, I am focusing on the future with intention and purpose. My goals for the upcoming year are designed to support both my personal and professional growth.
By the end of my next clinical placement, I aim to strengthen my patient assessment skills by independently conducting at least three comprehensive head-to-toe assessments weekly, under the guidance of my preceptor. I will seek feedback after each assessment, document areas for improvement, and demonstrate measurable progress in accuracy and confidence by the end of the placement.
Additionally, by the end of the next academic semester, I will secure an academic mentor to help refine my writing skills and support my career development while also obtaining a position at Trent University to enhance my social skills. Within the first month, I will reach out to at least three faculty members or academic advisors to identify a mentor and schedule regular meetings to work on specific goals. Concurrently, I will apply to at least three relevant paid or volunteer opportunities, such as student services or campus organizations, to become more engaged in the academic community and foster meaningful growth.
