Summary of strengths:

 

After carefully completing the Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form checklist, here are my strengths;Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form.

1. I am effectively able to ensure the completion of a thorough and precise physical exam making use of the proper methods while concentrating on the symptoms of the patient. Additionally, I am also able to apply the use of appropriate methods in assessing patients as warranted to ensure a precise and effective diagnosis. I plan to regularly practice them in community health clinics and in medical wards for the examination of patients (Klemenc‐Ketis et al., 2014).Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form. Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form.

2. I am also able to apply the use of effective verbal communication as well as interpersonal skills when meeting with patients and other healthcare professionals. Moreover, I have discovered that I am patient and able to maintain a positive attitude when under pressure while also being able to effectively communicate in writing as well as verbally.Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form. Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form.

3. I strongly believe in educating the patients on what they are going through, the procedures to expect and how to basically increase their quality of life. Currently, many patients that I have encountered in the hospital environment have showed self-care deficit or non-compliance due to lack of knowledge or medical literacy (Buppert, 2020). Providing them with education is important as I believe it provides them with a great autonomy and self-empowerment.Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form.
