During my summer field experience, I have had the opportunity of assisting Dr. Bayes and his medical staff at Bluetail medical group with regenerative and sports medicine. During rotations I assist aside Dr. Bayes with ultrasound guided injections ranging from steroidal injections to platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections. During my time at Bluetail Medical Group I get to see a lot of different imaging like X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound guided treatments which has been great for testing my anatomy!
Another opportunity I get at Bluetail Medical Group is getting to have quality patient interactions with a wide variety of patient age ranges which has been informative and rewarding. Getting to work with Dr. Bayes has been such a great experience and even more fun working aside his medical staff, Paige Kasson, PA, Devon Guckes, ATC. Assisting in the clinical setting has really sparked an interest for my future career path as an athletic trainer.
I feel my time at Bluetail Medical Group has already improved so many skills needed for my professional development. I have gotten the chance to work on my patient communication and assessment skills along with honing in on my knowledge of anatomy and physiology which are major steps to fostering my professional development. I feel very supported when I am assisting at Bluetail Medical Group and want to thank Dr. Bayes, Paige Kasson, Devon Guckes, and all of Bluetail Medical Group for such a great summer of learning and growing!
