Group Reflection Report

The group process went very smoothly from my perspective. In the time that we have interacted in this cohort, there have been many group assignments. From those experiences, there have been improvements in the methods of communication, like e-mail and texting.

Especially as the report on the IEP was being written, group members responded promptly with changes, editing and suggestions.

But, they were not weight bearing x rays of the foot and ankle, so it was easy to get another set of the needed x-rays because of the proximity of the radiology
