Training Reflections

No matter how many times I go through team-building exercises, I'm always amazed how simple group tasks can create an instant bond among a group of people.  A simple task like learning a person's name has a powerful impact on working with someone and how much more easily ideas can be exchanged when such a simple piece of knowledge is known.

I've never participated in a virtual class before.  Today's class was quite interesting, especially considering the distances between all of the participating classes and our instructor.  Whether intentional or not, this gave a sense of being part of a large community of interns, rather than just the small segment that occupied the same room as I did.  It was also nice to work with one partner all day after spending a day working with varied groups, though the group work did have value.  

Overall I have to say that training has been a positive experience in getting ready to perform my duties as an intern and I look forward to the final two days of training.
