In a very short period of time‚ this information must be absorbed and retained. Consequently‚ I have found it very difficult to bridge the academic realm of this program with my clinical experience until now. For example‚ if I am assigned to a patient

My goals for the semester are that I will successfully perform 87 percent of chest examinations unassisted‚ I will observe less then 15 percent of all
