Through my exploration of these topics, I have discovered a lot about my professional practice and my personal strengths and weaknesses. For example, I have realized that I have a strong interest in population health concerns and the social determinants of health. I have also realized that I have a lot to learn when it comes to the use of technology in healthcare and the intricacies of health policy.
