What went wrong
As with other PA faculties, you may be aware of the general complaints made by the first year PA students about the Anatomy course. I do know my classmates were affected different; however, these were my own personal challenges with the Anatomy course:
• Disorganization of course material o Class reading assignments did not match Lecture o Lecture PowerPoints were not provided despite request from several students. It was usually provided a couple of days before the test. This shortened the time to study, memorize and focus on the necessary anatomical structures.
• Lack of guidance on how to study the information presented
- As recommended during the PA orientation, I read the assigned readings for my courses; however, for anatomy, this exercise quickly became futile only because it did not contribute to helping to understand lectures provided in class. With voluminous reading assignments, many times, the anatomy lecture focused little or none from the information in the textbook. Lectures mostly presented anatomical structures and so focus on images were paramount. Therefore, the reading did little to help understand lecture material if one is not familiar enough with the anatomical structures. While this was the case, the PowerPoints with the anatomical structures were not provided.
• Insufficient & consistent guidance in the Anatomy Cadaver lab
- Initially there was no tutoring and/or review sessions for the lab. Many of us were confused and
The medicine wheel acts as a reflection as to how one views the world. It takes a look at the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects belonging to a person. (Mussel, 2005, p. 115) By reflecting on each aspect of the medicine wheel and going more in depth, I will be able to move towards self-awareness and will be better able to understand myself and the way I view and act on upon the world. Ultimately, this will benefit my intrapersonal, interpersonal, and intra-professional communication.

Though the American healthcare system has made big steps towards providing affordable healthcare for everyone, there remains a growing population of people who fall through the system’s cracks. These people are the medically underserved. They are typically the victims of unfortunate life circumstances that has left them without health insurance, or with insurance that provides inadequate coverage. The underserved also includes those who have trouble accessing healthcare for any reason. Anyone with illnesses or disabilities that require assistance beyond their coverage, or people who live in remote areas where healthcare services are sparse fall under this title. The term also does not exclude those who have sufficient insurance and resources, but struggle to understand and navigate our increasingly complex system of healthcare.
What size fibers make up the preganglionic neurons? The postganglionic neurons? Why is the white ramus white, and the gray ramus gray? What does this mean for speed of conduction?
My clinical professor can facilitate my learning by continuing to allow us to watch new and educative illness/procedure on other patients that are assigned to another team member in addition to discussing medications our patient are taking.
The four quadrants that divide the abdomen are the right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant and left lower quadrant.
With the course of events of the first quarter, our Anatomy and Histology finals were anti-climactic. Everyone seemed to approach the exams with a new sense of confidence. As a result of the exams, I finished with a grade of 84 in Anatomy and 92 in Histology. The numbers were irrelevant because Keystone was on a Pass-Fail system in which only a "P" or "F" went on a student’s record for each course. Nevertheless, it felt good to be over the first

Being an aspiring student in a physical therapy program has driven me to embody the core values stated by the APTA and demonstrated by my coworkers. Working in the medical field means the well being of others is in your hands. The level of responsibility and accountability required is monumental, and you must be willing to step up to the task. Whereas many students only hold themselves accountable for their own benefit, as a DPT student, you must demonstrate initiative because your actions no longer affect just yourself. First and foremost, you must be responsible in the classroom. Prior to practice, a solid foundation of education and knowledge is critical. One should exercise due diligence in saturating themselves with the knowledge necessary to care for a patient in a safe, timely, and efficient
The read/write learner is advised to: develop lists, make outlines, obtain study guides, take notes, and write words to the notes several times. It is also recommended to read notes silently, rewrite and paraphrase ideas into other words. Converting graphs, charts, and diagrams into worded statements help the student with a strong read/write preference to understand the meanings contained in the visual material. Meaning is found in words; therefore the student with a read/write learning preference should search for words that describe the meaning of a concept by breaking the concept into textual points.

Enclosed please find my application for Anatomy Instructor at Jacobs School of Medicine and Anatomical Science. I feel confident that I would be an ideal addition to the teaching faculty at the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, as you will observe that my experiences, researches and future plans are highly compatible with a number of your current faculty members. Moreover, I am presently enrolled in masters in Anatomical Science program, which further polished my teaching skills by incorporating a thesis project, graduate course-work, a teaching practicum, anatomical specimen preparation and dissection techniques. My colleagues and I are presented with a number of far-ranging opportunities from learning how to use an electron
My hand was sprinting across the page with charcoal in palm, and the finish line of my sketch was in sight. The image of a model’s face was quickly appearing, and the proportions of her eyes-to-nose and ear-to-mouth were just right. Proportions of the human face were something I learned in art class, whereas the details in her eyes were something I learned in anatomy class.
Medical education has changed excessively throughout the years. Physicians in the 18th century had no knowledge of
