Core 1, Part 2

As a Micro Molecular Biology major, technology can play a big part in my future plans of dealing with medicine. Now, I know how to type and use all the major functions on a computer but there are specific programs that doctors use to keep track of patients records and such. Learning a program like that, I feel wouldn’t be too much of a problem, however if I were to become a radiologist, the complications that have to do with an X-Ray machine might cause some problems. Ultrasounds, research labs that involve testing many foreign substances and cardiovascular monitors are all technologies that would challenge almost anyone while trying to learn.
As far as what I plan on doing, physical therapy, there are some challenging technologies that I would have to become very acquainted with such as MRI or X-Ray machines for reading and analyzing injuries. I have been to a physical therapist a few times myself and they seem to have a very good understanding of many machines in the gym. I feel that I would definitely benefit from gaining more experience with machines that help strengthen certain areas of the body (whatever my specialty may be). All in all, I feel that I am about where I need to be at this point in time as far as knowledge of the technology that I might encounter in my career in the medical field and I plan to keep up with the constant changes of technology.
