Well, where do I begin? I met up with some interesting people in the morning, where we went in pairs and retrieved a clean t-shirt. We then began to follow some instructions towards where each area of the body is. Ribs, lungs, kidneys, etc. And then drew them on a t-shirt.
Sadly though, mine didn't look quite like this:
But, I'm sure it was close enough. Just kidding, we didn't do the muscles! :)
Then, we entered the computer lab and researched a particular organ of our choice. Ours being the large intestine. Following this, we had to right out simple instructions so that others can draw the large intestine without looking at a picture.
Now, have you ever had to write instructions for where the large intestine is, what angle it is at, and where its ascending colon is found?
Well, have a go:
After this, we left the lab and shared our findings with another pair. There's being the adrenal glands. I have to say, I felt sorry for them when they had to work through a one and a half page of large intestine instructions. There's was awesome, it really helps with your individual learning.
Lastly we teamed up in a group of six, and were given a career to research. We were given oncology and took on a particular area of the job. I researched a typical day in the life, and their training requirements. This task itself was particuarly fascinating, as we then had to watch, and present our findings to the rest of the students. This was a key highlight; it made us consider career paths we hadn't looked at in medicine, and adapted our confidence skills when presenting. I'd love to do more of this!
Sadly, it was the end of the day for BrightMed. But, not for my work - I set off onto cadet duty and returned thoroughly satisfied with the overall day I have had.
Here's a interesting video on the digestive system:
