LHSI Overview

I work with the IUPUI ECHO Center to organize educational events (ECHOS) on vital topics like HIV, cancer, hepatitis C, etc. ECHO is a platform that allows users to communicate with medical experts from various states who give both didactic content and real-world examples. Through this platform, one gets to develop a variety of skills, including the ability to provide constructive criticism and apply that feedback to make corrections. One also has a tremendous opportunity of acquiring some highly beneficial teamwork abilities, such as leadership, collaboration, and critical thinking, by interacting with healthcare professionals. Overall, the IUPUI ECHO center is a location where you may gain a lot of knowledge from experts and learn how to collaborate with others and politely take their advice. Through time, one learns how pleasurable it can be to work with others who have similar perspectives and more experience than you have, since you feel more at ease asking questions and getting the task done correctly. This internship with IUPUI ECHO center has far exceeded the expectations because not only do you learn a lot but also interact with new people on a daily basis, both of which you are eager to do.

Goals

I am going to draft an email regarding a specific topic by the end of next month this way I will be able to make connections with people who I don't know.
- I will ask for help when I don’t understand something in the email.
- If an example is available I will preview that to get an idea of the format.
- I will try to get to know the person I am writing an email to so I can build connections.
I will try to come in every Tuesday and Thursday so I can get an experience of working in an office.
- I will go to office so I can learn how everything works.
- I will do projects that help me learn new skills and if the project is done from home I will ask questions when I don't understand something.
- I will collaborate with others through meetings and joining ECHOs.
By the end of the year I want to have the confidence of sharing what I learned this year by either doing a mini presentation or by just having a conversation with a couple of people about what I accomplished.
- I will pay close attention to others when they are presenting so I can get an idea of what my presentation should look like
- I will contribute my thoughts and give feedback based on what they say about the mini projects I would do.
- I will make sure to ask questions and discuss the draft of my presentation with someone before presenting to make sure it's professional and I'm not missing anything.
