In medical and health science courses you are required to produce reflective writing in order to learn from educational and practical experiences, and to develop the habit of critical reflection as a future health professional.” (http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/medicine/reflective/1.xml) Some of the writing which you produce as part of your journal might be reflective, and some might be purely factual.
