Hi again! This is the last blog and the year is finishing!
This was a completely different year, full of new experiences and new people. This was my first year at university, and at the beginning I was really nervous, because I didn`t know what to expect. Everything was new, the people, the teachers, the subjects, and the most different and worry new thing was the study methodology, which I didn’t know if the old one would work this time. Before that the year began I was anxious, because everything was different and new, but along the year I realized that everything would be an amazing experience, full of fun and learning.
The first semester was the first approach to the university things. In that period I knew my classmates, and I made strong relationships with some of them. The subjects that I had were cellular biology, genetics and embryology, all as a one big subject, and another big subject that included chemistry, math and biochemistry. At the beginning was hard to get used to the completely different, but when I discovered that with my effort and my dedication everything would be fine. In the first semester I had really good marks, and I`m happy about that, but I think that the most important thing was the people that I met. They are great people, really funny, but especially very wise and a huge support in every moment.
Later, at the second semester, I was more used to the dynamic of study and work at university, but it didn’t make the things easier. In this semester I had anew subject, it was an integrated one, and it included anatomy, physiology, histology and immunology. These are really difficult subjects separately, and more difficult if they are all like one big subject. This period was really exhausting because of that, so now I only want some holidays to sleep well and rest all the time.
This year was full of surprises and new things. I discovered a lot of experiences that I wouldn`t imagine. I enjoy this year, and I have to say that this is one of my best years, because It was a full package, I studied and learned a lot, but also I discovered a lot of great people that support me in every moment that I need. And a really important thing that I think about this year is that I discovered some aspects of myself, different strengths and weaknesses, and after all that this year was I feel really happy, because I think that I`m growing in every aspects.

important challenges in my discipline...
Hi! Today I'm going to talk about important challenges that my discipline, obstetrics, is currently facing.
In the visits that I have made to clinics and hospitals during this year, I could appreciate the level of technology that the midwives were using with the users. In general they were appropiate, but somethings called my attention. For example, to take the pressure, now they use electric machines, not like before, where they took the pressure with stethoscope and taking the radial and brachial pulse. Another thing that I noticed is the quality of the gloves that were deliver at clinics. They were bad, I mean, everytime that the midwife put a glove in her hand they broke.
I think that the government should contribute more money to what concerns the health technology, because the area of health is very important to society, they use it everytime, so the implements have to be of the highest quality, especially in public health centers that are the most visited by the people.
What respect social matters, the midwives are well paid, society sees midwives as a health professional, able to give goods diagnostics, but also, they see them as someone to trust, someone that give support in a very important moments, for example in pregnancy. But something that I really hate is that the gynecologists are doing the work of midwives. They attend deliveries and midwives are subordinated by them, but it doesn't happend everywhere, just in some hospitals. In this case I don't know what to do to change it, because there is a law that says that midwives are responsible to assist normal deliveries, and they manage their team.
One of the most important roles of the midwives is the education. They educate the society about the sexual area, giving talks at clinics. They educate about birth control, or Sexual Transmission Diseases (DTS), for example. But sometimes people don`t want to be educated or they are not interested in this topics. The clinics advertise about this talks through leaflets or posters, but these means of advertising are not so effective, because sometimes they are not really attractive for the people and don’t call their attention. I think that the strategies should be more creative to make people involved in this process.
