✓ Specifically what have you learned?
✓ What strengths can you identify?
✓ How will you use the information to care for your patient, promote health, and, when disease is present, provide for early diagnosis and prompt treatment, and/or restore and rehabilitate the health.
✓ What has contributed to this progress?
✓ What have you learned about the way you learn?
✓ What would you do differently next time?
✓ What other options were there in that situation?
✓ What would have been the consequences of another action?
✓ Has another similar incident arisen again and how did you react?
✓ Think about some events/ situations that have taken place and how you felt at the time, e.g. confident, tense, frustrated, certain, doubtful etc. Use these reactions to identify strengths, and areas that need development.
