Technologies in my career

The most important step in the student´life is ingress to university. Each year millions of young postulate for ingress to the best universities of country. Fortunately I had the opportunity to sing in the best university of Chile: Universidad de Chile. My dream since that I was a little girl..was ingress to medicine... I had my stethoscope...my doctor toy set.. and I was happy with that, but destiny decided other way for me. I enter to obstetric and actually I very happy for that... I feel that my career is fantastic and I love it.

In the first time I thought that university would be easy, but it wasn´t like I supposed. The first week we had a class in computer room and we had to work with a program called Hypercell. This program was in english and was very difficult to use. Teachers teach us web-sites for search health information. Websites like Pubmed or Cielo. These websites are very good but the problem is that they are in english and this is a little more complicated than spanish for me. This initiative of introduce the spirit of self-learnig since startup is very important because the idea of a new education is based in self-learning, where students are capable of search by themselves current information and do their own educational training, without help of a teacher.

Other instance with computer room was each friday in english class. We had to do blogs with a particular theme and write about that and then post to my friends. This experience was easier than the use of hypercell because each one wrote their own opinions. It was very good with respect to practice write-english and know the use of virtual dictionary, improving vocabulary.

With respect to experiences with technology nearer than the use of computer.. I had to learn to use microscope. I love microscope because I can see a lot of amazing things. I remember the first class that I can use microscope. I had to see a tree leaf and was impressive see small worms crawling. Technology goes beyond what we can see.

Is very important that people have a good use of technology since childhood, particulary in this epoch, because now all is based in technololy... information is in internet, , comunication is internet(chat, mail,etc), until trees family are in internet! and in a future no far... We will can do all for internet... and is very probable that the dreamed (nightmare for some) of education only for internet will be reality.

challenges in my discipline

Hi friends! Today I´m going to tell you about my career and the challenges in this. In the different areas of my discipline, there are a lot of challengues for midwives.
For example, with respect to technology there are instruments and objects that I have to learn to use.. for example a spectacle, ultrasound, stethoscope, monitors, technology of delivery room, pressure kit, etc. This should be resolved if we study hard, and practice early the use of pressure kit. stethoscope, etc.. for this we are actually in university.. for learn and be in the future the best midwives and here we will learn the use of the instruments of our discipline. In education the challenge of midwives will be teach to people about topics like sex education, birth control, family orientation, breastfeeding classes, etc...this should be resolved with better educational programs...and for do that we have to know to do a good analysis of population and identify the main needs. This is achieved only if we have the disposition and desire for a healthier society... I mean with vocation. With respect to social Matters, the rol and the challenge of midwives is fight for improve society in relation to health.. for this we need vocation of service and love for job.

The critical issues involved in each area are:
with respect to techcology.. in the future will be more new instruments because te technology is evolving. With respct to education.. day to day therea are new problems in society .. and new challenges for us.. for example new diseases, ore unwanted pregnancies, more deaths for sexually transmitted diseases like SIDA..etc.

I believe that for be a good professional and the best midwife, the most importante is the love for the career.. and with this love.. the challenges that appear on the way .. will be easily solved.

Well friend.. take care. kisses

improving my faculty

Hi friends!! Today I´m going to talk you about my faculty. I study in medicine faculty of "Universidad de Chile". The current situation in my faculty is good in general but lately we have had some problems like manifestations of the non-teaching staff and the most important for obstetric: the dispute between midwives and nurses about the care of baby: neonatology. The college of midwives has do a lot of meetings for search a solution for the situation...but all depends of health minister because she decides if gives the care of baby for nurses (this in my opionon is unjust and ridicule because always midwife has been the responsible of this). In relation of technology of my faculty I believe that all is fine exept computers of library. The computers are very old and only a few are available. My first step to dealing with this situation will be make a survey about the people that want new computers and then present the opinions to dean for search a solution. The real benefits and impact of these improvement will be the speed for do things and the optimization of library because with more computers are more students that are learning. A recomendation will be fight for our rights and require a best technology because is inconceivable that the best university of Chile have not elements so basic like these.
