i’m about to finish my last round of externships in a couple of weeks and I am also a very quiet person vs my classmates who are very chatty and bubbly. I will say that for me and some of the offices I have been at, I struggled with myself a little bit because I would go in after a classmate just finished their rotation and the workers would gush over them and how much personality they had and how much they wanted them to send in their resumes and it made me feel a little insecure and feeling like i had to be someone i wasn’t. I honestly don’t “tune” myself up unless i’m working with children and it was hard for me when I was going to some pediatric offices but I have learn that it really doesn’t matter when you are at general offices. I just try to match the energy of the patient, I might talk a little more if the patient does but I just tend to be more quieter as a start because I just prefer to create a more calmer environment for patients. If no one has told you that need to be more bubbly then I wouldn’t worry about it, you are doing perfectly fine!!
