Decent Essays
Throughout this semester, we have been giving multiple opportunities to demonstrate our knowledge through practical evaluations and competency assessments. Within these assessments we have had to demonstrate how to properly establish the patient relationship, proper use of radiation devices and equipment, adhere to specific safety protocols for the patient and evaluating the images for any corrective actions.

Throughout the semester we have done self reflection on how we think we did in the assessments. These are often done after competency tests in my procedures class and after practical evaluations in my patient management class. The majority of the time I believe that I am fairly strong at establishing the patient relationship and provided

    Assessment procedures are important to have because they direct and alter the learning outcome. My reflection of the “assessment activity” enhances my ability to teach, because it provides information about the students progress.

It is important to assess attitudes in vocational training because some students come and have no knowledge of work ethics, they don’t realize the importance of behaving in a professional manner on the job. If a student does not meet the competency for the attitude assessment, they need to be train or referred to the school counselor.…

On top of briefly discussing what the four IPEC competency domains are, I will also be revealing the two most important IPE skills that I have learned…
