1. During mentorship, I basically follow my mentor as a "shadow". Since my mentor is typically pretty busy filling out patient charts, giving orders, or consulting with other physicians, he doesn't usually have a whole lot of time to explain little details about why he is doing certain treatments. I can almost always figure out what is going on, though, and if I can't then I take a note of it and look it up later. I have finished the mandatory hours, but I plan to continue doing what I have been doing whenever I get the chance.
