While working in a hospital I can be a part of an interventional procedure such as an FNA in the abdominal cavity. I can use my transducer to assist the interventional physician to aspirate the lesion and reduce pressure in that patient's abdomen. I would be working alongside nurses, surgeons, radiologists, and even potentially anesthesiologists.

How has your understanding of your role in interdisciplinary care changed?

I used to undermine my role as a future Sonographer in the totem pole of healthcare. I felt as though true healing for a patient came from physicians or therapists. This course has shown me that health care is truly intermingled with interdisciplinary care. No one team member in a patient's circle is capable of healing them directly. Rather, diagnostic imaging holds a substantial role in helping locate the pathology a patient may be inflicted with, which later will be used to eventually treat the patient. I now value my role and other's roles in a patients circle of care, and this newfound respect will allow me to work alongside my team members and not just "under" them.

How has your understanding of Interprofessional Collaboration changed?

Prior to this course, I naively thought that interprofessional collaboration was limited to my future fellow co-workers such as a nurse or a radiologist. However, this course expanded my knowledge on the various domains of care that a patient may require attention to and the subsequent modalities that they may use. I have to be ready to work with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and even traditional therapists if need be. What I have listed just brushes the surface of the number of team players that may be working with my patient. By being a team player I now understand that it benefits my patient by putting them at ease, and it also can help expedite their healing by working on a treatment plan together.
