Between my fall and spring semester H&Ps, I believe the most apparent difference is my organization. Although there is still room for improvement on my flow of thinking, spring semester’s H&P flowed better and was more concise.

When learning to take a history from my patients, I believe I have improved as the semesters progressed. During the fall semester, I may have missed important questions to ask my patient in order to create a good list of differential diagnoses.

My HPI has also improved from fall to spring semester regarding my flow of how I approached each question to my patient.

I believe my communication skills are my strongest point and I need improvement on completing a physical exam in a timely manner.

During my clinical year, I hope to improve the efficiency of completing a physical exam.
