Professional Service-Learning Journal

During my medical dosimetry clinicals, I've been actively engaged in sharing my

knowledge to both observers and students at my clinical site, as well as beyond the boundaries of
my immediate clinical environment. This teaching role has allowed me to share insights into the
intricacies of the medical dosimetry profession, providing a valuable learning experience for
those interested in this field. My interactions included medical residents to high school students
and even individuals from different cultural backgrounds. This inclusive approach to teaching
allowed me to adapt my communication style to cater to the varying levels of expertise and
cultural perspectives, fostering a rich and comprehensive learning environment.
Engaging in teaching roles has proven to be an invaluable avenue for my personal and
professional development within the medical field. Through these experiences, I've honed my
communication skills, deepened my understanding of medical dosimetry, and expanded my
ability to convey complex concepts to individuals with varying levels of knowledge. By actively
participating in educational initiatives, I've not only shared my accumulated knowledge but also
contributed to the development of others who share an interest in the field of medical dosimetry.
This reciprocal exchange of information fosters a collaborative learning environment, benefiting
both the learners and myself.
Taking an active role in promoting the field of medical dosimetry is not just a
professional obligation but also a personal commitment to serving others and serving the medical
dosimetry profession. By advocating for the field, I contribute to its growth and awareness,
potentially inspiring others to pursue careers in medical dosimetry and, in turn, enhancing the
overall quality of healthcare delivery. Through teaching and promoting medical dosimetry, I've
not only expanded my own professional horizons but also played a pivotal role in cultivating
knowledge, interest, and understanding among diverse audiences. This dual role of educator and
advocate reflects a commitment to both personal growth and the betterment of the medical
dosimetry profession.
