"Faculty Technologies" Essay

Is the 21st century, and technology is advancing at the speed of light, I mean we are able to see that in different places around the world people are creating new gadgets and machines that makes of education a more efficient thing. And in Chile we are no that far from all that technology, because you can see that every Chilean student knows how to surf the net, which is the biggest information highway and also other kinds of technologies, but here in our university all the technology that we use is directed to health sciences, and in my case I would like to detail some the things that I had experienced this year related to technology.

Well, here in our faculty technology is not a priority, because if it were I mean I would be able to enjoy of an amazing infrastructure that let me be in a perfect comfort during the long days here, but well, even if the infrastructure is not the best I still was able to use the microscopes during some of my subjects like Biology, Histology, etc. And well they were not the best but they were useful.
And well talking about the auditorium which are the places that I used the most of the time, let me tell you that they’re all improved with the audio system, and with a Data which are devices that allows teachers to make their classes in Power Point format, so once the class is over they upload class to the net, and we are able to download them and study from them in our homes, and this permits us to pay more attention to the teachers and I didn’t have to waist time writing down the information. And last I would like to talk about the site www.auladigital.med.uchile.cl which is the page where all the information related to the different subjects including, tests places, classes, and marks can be found.

And well, the year is almost over and I have to say that technology that we used this year allowed me to make my learning more efficient that it used to be in school last year, but I have to say that I would be very happy if the inversion in technology to improve the faculty were higher. So in the next years the new students could be able to take the biggest advantage of all that this Medicine Faculty can give us, because it’s been only one year but I have to say that I love my faculty and my career.

Challenges To Face In Obstetrics

Hi everyone, today I would like to talk you about the challenges that me and my classmates in Obstetrics are facing and all the Obstetricians in general, and well there are things to face in every area you can imagine (obviously related to the career) but this time I will only talk about three different aspects, and they are Technology, Social Matters and Education, in the first one I will talk about how do we have to live with the constant discoveries related to childbirth, pregnancy and woman’s health, in social matter I will mention our role in the society and in education I will talk about the mission that we have as educators of the users.
Well people in the Obstetrics career we make a big use of technology because for example since the mother gets pregnant we have to be constantly checking the mother and new being’s health with the use of Ultrasound, and also we have to know how to use all the machines of the delivery room so all this issues that we could have using this instruments can be completely resolved if we practice, I mean “practice becomes you a master”, talking about social matters, I think that we have an important role in the society because in my opinion people see us like the professionals of pregnancy, childbirth, etc, so as professionals is our duty to give the best attention to the users of the Health System, and here our challenge is to front all the fact that we have to face from the easiest cases and the nicest persons to the cases that mother or child life’s are in danger and when we have to serve to people who is not nice with us, which I think that is very easy to solve I mean it is all about personality and the enthusiasm that we put on it . Finally and one of the most important challenges of the Obstetrics is the education because we are like very essential as educators in topics like pregnancy, labour work, and the fact of take care of the baby, which is very important to mothers with her first child, all this in the time when the baby is already developing, but also we are able to give sexual education to people who doesn’t want to have babies or get an sexually transmitted disease and here is our challenge because we have to educate not only young people but also sexual workers, so we have to try to use the most suitable language to give clear information so people can take care of themselves.
Okay I think that’s all I mean I don’t even know if this is okay but at least this is what I understood, see you next week. Greetings!

Things to do in our Faculty...

Hi everybody today I would like to talk you about the situation in my faculty, and well I think that in a first look I can say that it has a nice infrastructure because it allows that thousands of students from the different careers be able to have their classes and practical works, etcetera. Also the teachers are the best in the country so, academically I don’t have any complain. Another thing that I would like to talk about it is about the library of our faculty, I mean is the most beautiful part of the faculty, and also the work of the people who work there is very efficient, and I have to say that I own them a lot, because they had forgive me a few times with things that I return out of date like a chemistry book, or the study rooms of the third floor. But well, this is not just about the library, and I think that one of the most important things that should be improved in the faculty is the technological aspect, because there are not enough good quality computers, also during the Histology practical works, some of the microscopes are really old and they are not very useful, actually in the last histology practical work I broke one the samples that teacher gave us to see the liver, but well, here is a good thing of the university, and is that here we have a lot of samples so I didn’t have to pay it or anything.
Well as the technology is one of the most expensive aspects to improve I think that one of the first steps is to tell to the dean what are the needs that we have, and then to go further and let know about our issue to a person of the government like the education minister, or even more to ask to the presidential candidates what would they do about our issue, and maybe it is something crazy to do but, it is better than doing nothing.
Finally this improvements would benefit us all because for example everybody needs to use the computers to do the very difficult works and investigations that teachers tell us to do, and also if the lab’s microscopes could be better, all the practical works would be a lot easier than they are now.
Ok, that is all, I hope all of you finish you careers loving the faculty and everything, see you!
