I am doing my mentorship at the office of Dr. Donald H. Spaulding, OD in Upland, California. It is a small office in the city surrounded by other offices of multiple practices.
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
My contact is Dr. Donald H. Spaulding who has been an optometrist for many years. Even before I was born. He studied in Michigan and came to California to open his office. If my mentor cannot call himself, one of his opticians will call on his behalf. He tends to extend the time of his check-ups so he is busy on most days. His opticians have worked with him for many years.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
Throughout the school year, I have done a total of 52 hours, plus a total of 31 for the independent component. Things can get very repetitive in the office and I am also trying not to get in the way of my mentor.
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
During my time in the office, I was treated just as the opticians were and I'll also got to observe the patients and the doctor while working behind the scene. The main focus of my mentorship is to observe and study the way the doctor himself interacts with the patients but lately I've been thinking of changing my essential question.
