My day started with another clinical visit to a school, this time at Mound Elementary School. As I mentioned in my other post involving school visits, there are many benefits to Metro taking their care to the schools. It saves children from missing valuable class time that they might otherwise have to in order for a parent to be able to take them to the clinic. That is if the parent can spend the time at all. Some of the children's parents are working minimum wage jobs, or two jobs, often times both, and have neither the time nor the money to invest into their children's health. The program has proved to be very successful and will be including 10 new schools next fall upping the schools covered from 2 to 12. After my visit to Mound, Mr. Breisch came to visit and seemed very happy to see what I had been doing and meet my many mentors. Once J-Brizzle had verified that I wasn't just goofin around all day, I spent some time talking to another psychiatrist who gave me valuable information about career paths, further patient time and an enjoyable conversation. The day wrapped up with a patient presentation from the social worker, which was shown to the entire medtapp team. A further example of the colocation and integration of disciplines, it was very informative and incredible to be a part of.
