Case Study Saad Qidwai

For my CESL project, I intend to be an instructor for the NJMS Mini-Med Program. This program holds personal significance to me as I too was a student in this program when I was a sophomore in high school. This program was my first exposure to medicine and the insights I gained, not only from the lecturers, but also from medical students, has shaped my passion medicine. Therefore, I want to give back to the program that has had such a significant impact on my life. Furthermore, before coming to NJMS, one of the most rewarding experiences of my life was teaching chemistry for a program called ODASIS at Rutgers- New Brunswick where I was able to provide resources and guidance to students from minority and underserved populations. Consequently, I want to use my experiences and affinity for teaching to introduce young students to the various topics in medicine.

He has gained a vast array of knowledge when he was shadowing the PAs and me in the general surgery clinic. He has acquainted himself with the forms required for surgical procedures such as the informed consent. In addition, he observed how the PAs explain the surgical procedure to the patient and inform them about the benefits and risks before they sign the informed

High school, a stressful time in any teenager’ slife, copious amounts of homework, quizzes and tests, figuring out what to do after high school, and where relationships are made and often broken. Oh! And sometimes murders...Wait…January 13, 1999, Woodlawn High School, MD, the day where a 17 year old girl named Hae Min Lee is reported missing by her parents. A month later, she is found dead in a shallow grave in Leakin Park by a maintenance guy who was looking for a place to use the restroom. Weeks later, police arrest Adnan Syed, ex-boyfriend of Hae, on the account of first degree murder by manual strangulation and he has be in prison ever since. Even to this day, Adnan’s case is a huge mystery as to if he truly did kill her or not. There is

The doctor gave me a fit to practice letter from Dr. Peter Kamp, MD Psychiatrist at Pine Grove and Leah Claire Bennett, PhD the Clinical Director at Pine Grove.

Ashraf is a self motivated, hard working individual who displays excellent interpersonal and clinical skills essential to primary care. He was well liked by the elderly patients and always went out of his way to do extra work as he volunteered additional hours on weekends to make house calls and worked extra hours in nursing homes caring for the terminally ill patients. He demonstrated

I, Dr. Eric McDonald, MD am truly enthused about recommending Dhoha Alhashim for admission into medical school. It gives me immense pleasure, indeed, to suggest one of our emergency department's marvelous medical scribes, Ms. Alhashim, into your incoming class. I have known Dhoha Alhashim for the past six months in her capacity as a medical scribe. As a medical scribe, Ms. Alhashim had the opportunity to work side by side with some of the department's successful providers; her duties included documenting medical history, physical exam, procedures performed by providers, and transcribed lab and radiology test results on patients' charts. I, personally, had the opportunity to work with this intelligent young lady and observed the transformation of this incredible medical scribe over the past six months. Ms. Alhashim has been exposed to patients with a variety of symptoms and witnessed difficult patient encounters and critical cases, observing the proper ways to manage such situations. Ms. Alhashim has also become acquainted with our department's medical equipments. We have certainly been very pleased with the work performed by Dhoha Alhashim. Her intelligence, enthusiasm and curiosity for learning have enabled her to

I am glad images were included in the presentation which gives the reader a better understanding of Namah's diagnosis. Asking Namah how to best provide care is very smart. Avoiding stereotypes and going right to the patient to ask what she expects and what I can do to provide care is important. Addressing the genetic factor of the BRCA gene is important, especially if she has children. In my experience, the husband is usually present in the room with the health care provider and the patient. I am curious if this was the situation for Namah since her husband was born in the U.S., but is of Iraqi decent. The U.S. is such a melting pot that culture lines can become so blurred, so just asking can answer so many questions for the health care

Asare, I have seen a significant growth in her professionalism and knowledge of medicine that will lend itself well in her pursuit for a career as a physician. Ms. Asare has demonstrated a demeanor of confidence, poise, and competence time and time again in her involvements with patients. Likewise, she has grown accustomed to critically thinking and applying knowledge gained from her studies as an undergraduate to better understand patient illness and practices within the field of healthcare, which was made evident her increasing ability to recall relevant medical information regarding patient visits. I believe that her level of professionalism and capability to seek constant improvement in her knowledge will play a vital part in the success of Ms. Asare in both medical school and healthcare

She was informed by the Churchland High School’s guidance department Qusahawn’s return status has not been determined by the Portsmouth Public School System’s Placement Committee.

Melvin Konner, in “Basic Clinical Skills”, uses a first person point of view along with some bits of humor in order to establish a more relatable narrator. He discusses several topics such as the relationship between doctors and their patients, the healthcare given in hospitals, and the role that the physician plays in different contexts of life.

The purpose of this journal is to reflect on my experience and skills gained during my clinical placement at Ben Taub Hospital. On my first clinical day, I was excited and nervous at the same time. My first placement was in the PREOP/PACU area. I was assigned to help a patient who had been in the PACU area going on 2 days. Normally, once the patient comes from surgery they are only in the PACU area for a short period of time before they are discharged home or given a bed in another area of the hospital. This particular patient still had not received an assignment for a bed. The physicians would make their rounds to come check on him daily. The patient was a 28-year-old Hispanic male, non-English speaking, he had a hemicolectomy. He had a NG tube, urinary Foley catheter, and a wound vac. My preceptor had just clocked in and she needed to check on the patient’s vitals and notes from the previous nurse. Once she introduced me to the patient and explained while I was there, she then asked me to check his vitals. (Vital signs indicate the body’s ability to regulate body temperature, maintain blood flow, and oxygenate body tissues. Vital signs are important indicators of a client’s overall health status (Hogan, 2014). I froze for a quick second. I have practiced taking vitals numerous of times and I knew I could do it correctly. I started with the temperature first, when I was quickly corrected on a major mistake I had made by my preceptor. I HAD FORGOT TO WASH MY HANDS and PUT

For this end of module assessment I will be looking at the case study of Safia Nazir, her husband Nazir Rashid and their 3 children Taqi, Asif and Amina who live in Scotland and have been bought to the attention of social services for various reasons. I will be demonstrating my understanding of what the social workers role would be in relation to this family, including the skills and knowledge needed to meet the family’s individual needs. The social worker in this case study is called Shona and what I have read of her and her initial steps to work with the family come across as appropriate and professional. I will go into more detail about Shona’s work and my understanding of her role later in the assignment and make potential comparisons or reflect on what I may or may not do differently. I will consider issues in relation to my personal and professional values and will also refer to policy and practice from English legislation; as this is my country of practice. I will be focusing on early intervention and the initial steps in social work, such as making contact, meeting and the initial assessment.
