Today, in our Chiropractic Principles group session, we were broken up into small groups and asked to act out a skit pertaining to the following words: professionalism, boundaries, compassion and conflict of interest. There is a reason we did not choose acting and film as a profession. Despite our inability to convincingly act, we are able to identify the main topics of each skit. Lets look at some of the main points of each skit.
Professionalism: Not only is it important for the doctor to be professional in the way they address the patient and conduct themselves, its also important that the clinic staff also conduct themselves professionally. Professionalism should be instilled in the morals of the clinic. Boundaries: It all comes down to patient respect and patient centred care. Just because the chiropractor is a doctor does not give them the right to On October 5th, we had our third Chiropractic Principles small group session. In this session, we were asked to create a time line of the history of chiropractic was would be presented a diversity of people, including: the government, medical doctors, first year medical students, as well as the general public.
Specifically, we were asked to make sure that the information we provide pertain to the groups, and have specific chiropractic events relevant to them. Therefore, as a class, we came up with the following outlines! This philosophy workbook was actually super helpful while brainstorming up my philosophy paper. I got really involved with it. I wanted to share it because its a bit more personal, and shares my thought process throughout my writing (found in the literary works archives). I really enjoyed choosing an artifact for this workbook as well. The medicine wheel was a no brainer for me, and I am glad I got to explore all of its components and related it back to the way I wish to practice chiropractic in the future. For my workbook artifact, I decided to use the Longhouse medicine wheel and seven grandfather teachings, from the Quiet Land Healing Lodge in Temagami Ontario.
