Learning Goals

[Carly DeFaria]

My main learning goal will be to understand and say basic terms related to healthcare and injury. I will focus on learning names of body parts and various injuries as well as how to ask for and recognize someone who is asking for help. Being that I plan on attending medical school, I think it is most relevant for me to learn terms related to this field. There is a possibility for me to go abroad to India during medical school and the phrases that would be most important for me to know relate to healthcare as well as basic conversational skills. I have already started to learn the body parts but I think it will be helpful for me to know things like numbers for age and dosages of medication. I think that if I do end up working in India, even for a few short months, I will be able to connect better with patients and gain their trust if I am able to speak at least a little bit of the language.
