March Recap :)

 Volunteer Hours (March): 16 hours
                                                                Volunteer Hours (Total): 25.5 hours






We are officially in the home stretch! This month flew by so quick. We had our last full round of exams, which covered neuropharm and psychopharm. Both were very interesting topics that I really enjoyed learning about, especially the anxiety unit and the schizophrenia unit. This month has also been really busy with presentations. I had 3 presentations this month, and my last one is next week. Graduation is around the corner, so it has been exciting prepping for that experience. I am just excited to almost have my second degree! It really has been an amazing year in this program and I am so grateful that I got blessed with an opportunity to be here.

Volunteering this month has also been really fun! Our official birth companion t-shirts got here and they are cute! I got to do two on-call shifts this month and one recruitment shift. The on-call shifts were pretty relaxed, I didn't get to help with any labors but it was nice being able to network with the medical students, nurses, and physicians. With the recruitment shift me and a friend were able to secure 3 expecting mothers to the program!

Lastly, this month I got to participate at a Pre-Med conference at LSU-Med and it was an amazing opportunity. Lots of networking, and I got to participate in the simulation lab and put my knowledge to use with detecting heart sounds. Everything came back to me from our cardio unit, so it was ver fun to put the knowledge to use in a clinical setting.

The End- One Degree Hotter

  Volunteer Hours (April): 3 hours It is festival season, and this month I volunteered with some of my classmates at the French Quarter Fest, and it was such a good and fun time. We got free entry, a t-shirt, and a free gift card to spend.  The time has come for this chapter to close. This year has truly flown by. I am so grateful for this program that has not only helped prepare me better for medical school but also opened numerous doors for me and brought me in contact with some amazing people. This program has had its difficult moments, but I have truly enjoyed every second. I look forward to what the future holds! Peace out Tulane (for now :)) -Sincerely, Christa'l Singh B.S. M.S.

January Blog

-Community Service Hours: 0 The Christmas break was nice and very much needed, but it is nice to be back and getting back acclimated to a school schedule. The semester is officially started and in full swing, and we started with my favorite unit thus far. I have a strong interest in ObGyn, so the reproduction module was fascinating and I loved having the chance to gain a broader and deeper understanding pertaining to reproduction. We are currently in the endocrine unit, which isn't my favorite but it is interesting to learn about. We also have started presentations, and it is double the amount we had last semester. I don't enjoy public speaking, so it has definitely taken me some time to try and get adjusted. We have great professors though, that are very encouraging and understanding, so that is always a bonus.  This month I didn't get a chance to sign up for any volunteering, but the Tulane Birthing Companion program starts this semester, and we have our first orientation...
