Reflection on the practice as a healthcare practitioner The profession of health practitioner is quite challenging and it requires lots of skills and knowledge to provide the best performance (Krakower, & Mayer, 2016). Therefore, learning the skills properly is a crucial step and an effective theoretical as well as practical based learning program can make a practitioner more efficient (Jackson, 2015). I also have gone through a learning experience to become a health practitioner and here in this paper, I am going to reflect my experience over the learning process. I have undergone a 6 weeks of learning program. Initially, I had no idea about the syllabus and in week 1, the subject was on the history of public health and change in models. In this week, I leaned about the chronological history of past 200 years of public health and the key milestones (Wold & Mittelmark, 2018). I came to know about several interesting facts about the barriers of receiving treatment from history which made me more courageous about the topic. The second week continued the same topic but it revealed some more facts and information regarding the history of public health that discussed the philosophical and theoretical based change in models (Bauman, Bittman & Gershuny, 2019). During these two weeks of learning I went to the deeper insight of the history. However, the third week brought a fresh topic and in this week I learned the definition and other details of social ecological model of health. I learned that it is a theory based framework for understanding the effects of personal as well as environmental factors that determines the health status of people (Sallis, Owen & Fisher, 2015). In this week, I came to know about the impacts of various social determinants on public health (Wold & Mittelmark, 2018). The learning in this week was also quite informational that helped me to develop more interest on this learning. Again, in the fourth week, one of the most interesting topics of healthcare was introduced which is practice implications of different models of health. I got opportunity to learn in an evidence-based practice setting which was extremely stimulating. However, the sixth week provided
opportunity to learn practice implication of different models of health with practice-based evidence which is essential in enhancing knowledge of working in practical settings (Jackson, 2015). A health practitioner should be highly dedicated towards the profession as people’s health is dependent on the healthcare industry (Xue, Ye, Brewer & Spetz, 2016). The knowledge I gained from this learning is extremely helpful for me. The practical experience I achieved from this learning will assist me a lot in taking vital decisions in clinical settings (Williamson, Moreira, Quattromani & Smith, 2017). In future, I will apply the skills I gained from this learning to provide the best performance.
