Last meeting

May 4, 2014

Today my mentor and I decide to meet at her house to go over the book she had gave me and see if I understood everything fine. To sum up the chapter she had advised me to read, it basically talked about how dental hygienist play many roles in their job.  Their are five roles they are being an educator, advocate, researcher, administrator, and a clinician. I will go into further detail about these when I do my physical project. I really liked the book and felt like it was one of the best things I could read to really learn about the career. Whole at my mentors how we discussed the book and she asked if I had any question I had a few but their was one to me that was the most important. When reading through the roles I never really understood what an advocate was.once she explained to me what an advocate did I felt to me it was one of the most important roles ah theist can play. Basically an advocate is their to help and support the patient . They also being awareness to health problems. To me this is the most important role because when you think about it people have trouble doing things with out support from anyone. It's like when your parents support tough decision you make. I felt like some of the roles in the book were things you should use in every day life liking the role of being an advocate. Learning about the roles dental hygienist play made me want to peruse the career even more than I did because you are helping people in so many different ways.
