Early Introduction To Health Careers Program

The invaluable skills that I have gained and learned through my after school clubs, Future Business Leaders of America, (FBLA) and National Honor Society( NHS), has stirred up a desire in me to help my community and to make a difference in the lives of people, by majoring in the Public Health field. Through Public Health, I will help those in my community at large to live healthy lives; mentally, socially, physically and culturally. Healthcare is an essential need in life and is a great field that would allow me to make a difference.

For my Health Science 1 class we were instructed to choose 3 different careers. The careers to be chosen were a health care career, a career of disinterest, and a career we would like to pursue. I aspire to be a Cardiovascular Perfusionist because it would feel great to be able to prevent someone from dying pre- maturely. I dislike the real estate field because they don't make much money and they do entirely too much work for not much profit. I choose Neurology as my health care career because I like learning about the brain, how it works and how and why people get mental disorders.

I am currently taking Anatomy & Physiology at the ATC and I am also in a program called HOSA that the ATC provides. HOSA is an organization that provides opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all students interested in a health care career. Another program I am in is called EDME that the Texas Tech offers for students like me that want to peruse a career in the medical field. In the spring of 2016 I will be joining the Medical Club at Monterey that provides information and guest speakers to talk to students about careers in the medical field as well as hands on experience. I am also in AVID and I have been in this program for a year and a half at Monterey and AVID is very beneficial to me because, It keeps me focus on school and it helps me stay on track of my grades but most importantly it will help me get into a college. I plan on volunteering at the local hospitals so I can help my community, give my time to people in need, and have volunteer hours on my resume when I apply to medical

I should be selected to attend the FSU CoM Summer Institute because I love learning, enjoy being challenged by hard classes and/or tasks, and I have always had a love for the medical field. I grew up with my mom’s side of the family being in healthcare, her being a doctor in Russia and a nurse in the US and my grandmother worked in a lab. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I grew older my attention turned towards people. I have always been very compassionate and kind towards people and I want to fix everything wrong in the world, which of course can’t be done. I decided that healthcare would be my best option, specifically being a surgeon. With this profession I will be able to help save lives and influence the world in a positive way.

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences offers me a variety of opportunities and programs that I am unable to find anywhere else. First, the Early Selection Program allows me to have flexibility in my journey as a medical professional. Each student’s schedule in the program is tailored to a specific specialty and applicable track. In the program, I would get to explore not only the foundational medical courses, but also the courses that incorporate both clinical practice and community interaction early on. I would get to learn hands-on through the collaboration of my peers and work in an environment that looks at health through a cultural and evolving lens. From here, I will be able to get a solid impression of the care, communication, and approaches I want to implement as a future health care provider.

I hope to one day alter the lives of people around the world by pursuing an MD/MPH. However, that path was not always clear. My first exposure started in high school where I was a part of the Littleton Health Science Program which would equip me with

For years, I would talk about how I would become a doctor not knowing what I wanted my specialty to be or how much work it required. It was when I discovered my love and patience for kids, that I decided on becoming a pediatrician just like my doctor. Over the past couple of years, I have come to continuously re-evaluate my career goals. I have found myself willing to choose a career path that is more involved in the care of children; my aspirations lead me towards becoming a pediatric surgeon. I am very eager to help children and the sooner I will be able to, the better. The skills that the Mini-Medical School Program can teach me will help to better accustomed me to a life centered around medicine and helping others. It can help launch me towards a life-long career of helping children medically. My interest in helping children stems from the fact that I could actually save children’s lives. Children that could grow up to lead healthy lives instead of letting their illnesses overcome them. In addition to aiding children medically, I would put my best efforts in trying to find a disease that I could help cure for them. It has also been a dream of mine to someday be able to cure a disease. If presented the opportunity to do so in the future, I would definitely accept in a heartbeat if it meant that I could help children become healthier or save their

I heard of the Mayo Clinic Career Immersion Program when I was looking for something to introduce me into the medical careers. I have always had an interest in the medical field and have had varying ideas of what I wanted to do. I generally find a career that I would really like to do and research it for a while. I then find something new to do the same thing. This program would help me realize the career aspects that I enjoy because I could get hands on experience with many medical specialties. I am always looking for new learning opportunities. One of my hobbies is reading about new medical advancements so, I am always learning new things about the medical fields. I have an interest with all things human anatomy. In school my favorite classes

I´ve always thought that I may have a future in medicine, however, it wasn't until recently that I discovered the opportunity to explore my interests further. As a younger kid I dreamt of becoming an equine veterinarian, and while that still has some pull, I've now become more passionate about directly helping people. The Beaverton Health Careers program seems like the right track for me because I will be able to learn more about the side of medicine I already love and new paths as well. Similarly, by pursuing this in high school, it allows me to determine if I really enjoy health careers before deciding on my future college and degree.

Also with my nurses at my previous employers used to always tell me that, but never really knew what exactly was a health administrator at the time. The reason why I feel this program will support me in my goal to be a health administrator is because it's more focus on the skills we need to be a health administrator. Other programs focused more on making money from students and have them take classes they really don’t need. I also like how the program is split into modules, smaller classroom setting , and the ability to get more attention from the professor. What I also like about the program is that it focuses on us working/networking with each other and bring people from different backgrounds. So we can encounter a diverse learning setting. With my pass education at MCC (Monroe community College), it showed me that even though school sometimes is hard it's best to keep going and never give up. My work/ life experience it helped influence me to want to be in this program because I always wanted to help people and be in the health care field. One envisions I have for this program is to be the best health administrator I can be and help as many people as I can. Some of my goals that will help keep me focus that will help me complete this program are my motivation for the program. Also, My goal one day is to successful so I can help my

I have enroll in the Masters of Education degree program in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Health Science Education at the University of Houston. The program is designed for healthcare professional whose focus is teaching, program building and leadership within academic setting. I have chosen this program based on my future goals and current career path. Before teaching as a Workforce Development Instructor for Health Science Education Career track, I worked as a nurse for 12 years. I believe this program will assist me in bridging the gap between my experience as a nurse and my current teaching role with Lone Star College. I have a true passion for teaching the students of tomorrow and feel that the best way to meet my students

The curriculum will be designed to meet the needs of all target learners. It is understood that all learners will have a basic knowledge of patient care, the role that the caregiver plays in the healthcare team and hands on experiences with patients. For current healthcare workers there is no curriculum to provide additional training in caring for patient with mental and neurological issues. For students current curriculum is not designed to meet the needs of the growing population requiring specially trained healthcare workers for mental health and neurological disorders patients. Current curriculum does not provided allotted time and in depth information regarding caring for patient with mental health and neurological issues. Current healthcare

Working in the healthcare field has always been an interest of mine. I enjoy being able to help others in need, no matter their circumstance. As a child, I grew up with the dream of becoming either a doctor or nurse. I chose nursing because I like the fact that they interact more with people on a daily basis. The care and understanding nurses give to each of their patients is so admirable. In preparation for nursing school, I decided the best way for me to really be sure that this was the career path for me was to get some kind of experience working in the health care field. In 2013, I decided to enroll in my colleges Medical Assisting program. As a medical assistant you learn a variety of skills that get you acquainted with the everyday duties

The goal of the Health Sciences Internship program is to get seniors out into the world of medicine as a taste of what might be in their future. I chose this class for many reasons. One of the reasons is the fact that it will help me in the future to have this practice and have it put on my resume for college and other job opportunities. I also hope to get some excitement from this class by seeing things I am not able to see at this young age and without a degree. The reason I chose this career path option is because my original goal was to be a doctor. Being a nurse practitioner is the next best thing seeing as it has less liability and less schooling. I hope to get experience and insight on what my future could hold.

According to The Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions (2016), allied health is the segment of the health care field “that delivers services involving the identification, evaluation and prevention of diseases and disorders; dietary and nutrition services; and rehabilitation and health systems management.” One of the many health professions in allied health is in physical therapy. Physical therapists can diagnose and treat people of all ages who have medical or health-related conditions. These conditions most likely limit their mobility and their availability to perform everyday activities. Some of these medical or health-related conditions include: cardiopulmonary, hand and feet issues, musculoskeletal, neurological, pediatrics, sports injuries, women’s health, and pelvic floor. A physical therapist is in charge of helping patients restore mobility, manage pain, and sometimes they can even reduce the need for surgery or prescription drugs. This is done by executing a treatment plan. The treatment plan may encompass exercise, soft tissue massage, functional training, physical modalities and other types of therapies (Onks & Wawryzniak, 2014). To become a physical therapist, one has to undergo many vigorous steps and obtain a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. The work environment of a physical therapist typically includes private offices and clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, a lot of physical therapists
