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.

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,

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
