They were trained to provide feedback and could tell me instantly if I was doing something wrong. I can not imagine being forced to learn on each other or some unsuspecting poor patient for the first time. I think if med schools can hire trained models, your school should doctorjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570496336872952499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097208483196083328.post-50302648263177866092007-09-27T14:50:00.000-07:002007-09-27T14:50:00.000-07:00We learned all the assessment and gyn stuff on eac...We learned all the assessment and gyn stuff on each other too. And I have to say it was one of the things I loved best about my program. It was handled exceptionally well, the class was tightly bonded, discussions and sharing had taken place regarding anxiety/trust issues and abuse histories. We were set up to all feel as comfortable as we could be learning these hands on skills.<BR/><BR/>Our Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777614897667728830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097208483196083328.post-59364835073049652012007-09-26T23:04:00.000-07:002007-09-26T23:04:00.000-07:00I'm a Latina/Native American student homebirth mid...I'm a Latina/Native American student homebirth midwife in California.

Just last week I was holding up my breast for my male partner to palpate for my PMI. I don't know what was more bothersome, having to place a strang man's hand under my breast or having to let him see the roll that has snuck up and attached to my midsection. Not sure.
