Diabetes Community Educator Training
Diabetes Community Educator Training
March 25 - 27
7 participants
In my quest to identify more teaching opportunities, I decided to become a community diabetes educator. I enrolled into the 'Everyone With Diabetes Counts' program and enrolled into a 3 days training program through the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC). This three days training encompassed of two days of learning how to coach diabetes patients. On the 3rd day, we had to practice what we learned and this was done by teaching the program to our peers. For me, this was another teaching opportunity and I was looked forward to my turn. I delivered the lessons with confidence and succeeded in engaging my audience with confidence.
It was so humbling to think about how much experience I had gotten as a result of my teaching programs. I had become more confident, developed better pitch and tone for presentations, my style flowed effortlessly, and I was comfortable walking around the room. These activity made me appreciate my professional growth and has also given me a push to keep gaining knowledge in order for me to improve my skills.

On March 4, 2018 from 9 -11 am, I participated in a case review. Attending this review gave me a greater appreciation of the time and efforts professors put into cases and exam questions. I learned about fairness of questions and simplifying questions to focus on question needed to be answered. I also realized the importance of different professors looking at each other's material and the power of feedback.
Watching the professors discuss different ways students can interpret their case question and the possible answers they might provide was an eye opening experience. I was also able to provide suggestions. We had to ensure that every question was written clearly enough for the expected interpretation. I really enjoyed being on the other side of case review. At the end of the review, cases were modified and we all agreed on outcome.

PPAS Putting It All Together Lab
On March 10, 2018 From 2 -4 pm, I supervised about twenty five P3 students on their cases at the Fayetteville Campus. The lab was titled “PPAS Putting It All Together Lab”
I was responsible for providing them the case and discussing the correct answers after they each group of five students had completed their case review. I particularly enjoyed the case assigned to me (Medication Reconciliation). The students were very engaged and each group was unique in their problem-solving approach, but they always ended up with the correct answers.
During my review of answers with each team, I provided them with personal examples from practice and asked them thought provoking questions to get an idea of their use of professional judgement in guideline implementation.
At the end of each group session, I provided them with feedback on team work, question interpretation and overall outcome of their cases. I also gave them a few tips for success during rotations. Selective experiences give me room to access my growth and progress as a presenter, teacher, and evaluator.
Grant Writing for BrightStar Foundation
Grant Writing for BrightStar Foundation
Note: All material uploaded were prepared by me with and overviewed by BrightStar Foundation board members before submission. I also obtained permission from board to upload materials as a part of my teaching certificate.
I have always wanted to learn how to write a grant, so when the opportunity to write one came I was very excited and happily accepted the challenge. Even though I learned the basics of grant writing and successfully submitted my first grant, it was very challenging and I had underestimated the task at hand prior to the beginning of my research. In total, I spent about 60 hours of preparing the materials below. Those hours included review and feedback, preparation and research, editing and construction of project timeline. My TCP certification participation was one of the many motivational factors for learning how to write a grant. I also realized my passion for community and public health research by writing this grant.

During my TCP participation, I was finally able to start up a youtube channel to teach and recruit volunteers For BrightStar Foundation. Not only, did I learn how to video record, but I also realized how difficult it was to get comfortable while being recorded. Due to my experience I have a greater appreciation for journalist and all presenters of live shows.
