DWAD

Narrative report

It was a very hot afternoon of August 9, 2009 when we had our seminar regarding physical assessment, IMCI approach, global challenge in community health development and sexual and reproductive health at the Divine Word Academy, Dagupan City.

I was so excited then, because I know that I will learn a lot form that seminar. At around 10:00 a.m., I with my colleagues went to DWAD. We arrived there so early, so we waited for few hours for the seminar to start.

At exactly 1:30 p.m. the seminar started. The seminar started with a prayer and singing of the national anthem. Mrs. Jane Fernandez introduced the first speaker. The first speaker was Mrs. Cherylina G. Dalilis. She talked about introduction to Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI). The discussion about IMCI was very fun because Ma’am Dalilis was a very good speaker. She imparted important information about the topic and I learned a lot. Aside from IMCI she also discussed about physical assessment. She discussed how to integrate the proper physical assessment.

After the discussion of Ma’am Dalilis, Mrs. Fernandez introduced the next speaker. Prof. Carmen Bolinto was the second speaker. She talked about global challenges in community health development, where she showed some pertinent data about the topic. The discussion was very fun because of data she showed to us. Those data were very informative that gave us hints what was going on the health situations around the globe. On the other hand, she also discussed about sexual and reproductive health. She inculcated important information regarding that topic. Indeed, it was a very fun discussion. After the discussion we sung a song that made us alive and kicking.

When the seminar ended at around 5:00 p.m., happiness was inside my heart because I have learned a lot of information. This seminar made me equipped with the different information that is needed in my chosen career. This seminar served not only that I got certificates but rather the knowledge that I have gained.
