more on anaplastology
Well, I’m one week in to the Dallas portion of my clinical practicum and so far so good. I love seeing how different people work. Everyone has their own ways. Everyone has experienced different types of cases. And yet certain practices and materials pop up everywhere.
So far I am finding that there is great room for individuality in the practice of anaplastology. It’s really about problem solving, and there are usually many ways to solve a problem. To me, I feel that much of my training revolves around a better understanding of the materials at hand, being exposed to different types of solutions, learning what goes with what, and most importantly, the safety considerations necessary since we are dealing with patients and not just our own projects.
I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to take in wisdom from such a variety of sources. Between the split internship between Chicago and Dallas in the first place, and now getting to intern with a private practice along side weekly observation of another university/hospital setting, I feel like I am getting a well rounded view of how this field comes together.
By the way, here is the drive I made last weekend…
And in just a couple weeks I’ll be flying down and across the gulf to Sarasota, Florida, for the annual meeting of the International Anaplastology Association, where I will get to meet even more professionals and widen my view that much further. I’m looking forward to it.
