ESHAL ALI INDEPENDENT STUDY MENTORSHIP- FALL 2018 MRS. CLICK SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION IS FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES THAT ARE CITED AT THE END MY MENTOR
Dr. Crystal Sierra, MD, FAAP
UTMB Pediatrics and Adult Care- Friendswood Pediatrician ISM OVERVIEW
ISM is an advanced class that is intended to teach students about a career of their choice through first-hand observation and experience Throughout the semester, students are expected to complete weekly activity logs and journal entries, research assignments, and other activities The semester mentorship culminates in the creation and presentation of a product and final outline explaining what the student has learned PROJECT TOPIC
Infant Development Milestones- the normal
growth and milestones that children meet between birth and 1 year I chose this topic because I have always found infants and their care to be the most interesting part of pediatrics. The progression over the first few months of life is a fascinating topic “Friendswood Pediatric and Adult Primary Care.” UTMB Health, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Friendswood, www.utmbhealth.com/images/librariesprovider32/locations/friendswood_pediatrics_adultprimarycare- 1100.png?sfvrsn=1f3ed858_2. KEY POINT 1: WHAT IS AN INFANT?
A baby between the ages of 2 months and 1 year
In stages of infancy, development closely monitored because a lot of growth KEY POINT 2: PROCEDURE FOR AN INFANT CHECK-UP
Height, weight, and head circumference measured
Growth is plotted Different body parts checked for development Doctor asks parents questions about baby’s behavior Vaccines administered KEY POINT 3: INFANT VS. TODDLER/OLDER CHILDREN CHECK- UPS
Check-ups more frequent in infancy
More body parts checked in infant visits Especially anterior fontanel Vaccines given to range of ages Growth is plotted in both Parental involvement KEY POINT 4: FOCUS POINTS FOR CHECK-UPS
Head- structure and fontanels
Ears- fluid and response to auditory stimuli Eyes- proper development and response to light Mouth- infections and teething Skin- birthmarks and rashes Heart and lungs- abnormalities Hips and legs- flexibility and discoloration Genitalia- tenderness, lumps, and infection KEY POINT 5: NORMAL DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES
Two months- smiles, focuses on faces, makes
gurgling noises, has smoother movements Four months- copies facial expressions, babbles, responds to toys and affection, plays with toys Six months- plays with others, uses vowels and consonants, display curiosity, sits without help Nine months- shows preference, notices changes in environment, makes different noises, crawls One year- shows emotions, understands different words, stands or walks without assistance CURRENT EVENT
CDC reported rise in diagnosis of autism
More knowledgeable about symptoms of autism 1 in every 59 children has autism Shows importance of regular well-child check ups Starting at 18 months PRODUCT PRODUCT PRODUCT CONCLUSION
Throughout this semester, I learned about the healthy development of infants through observation and participation in check-ups More generally, I experienced what it is like to work in a doctor’s office THANK YOU
Thank you to Dr. Sierra for allowing me to observe her and teaching me this semester Thank you to Mrs. Click for her guidance over the course of this project Thank you to everyone who came to evaluate and view my presentation WORKS CITED
