The purpose of this research paper is to investigate various areas concerning my future career, that is to be an obstetrician, also known as an OB/GYN. Some of the topics that will be discussed in my paper are those pertaining to exactly what an obstetrician is and the requirements that are needed in order to become an obstetrition. These requirements will include the pyhsical and phsyschological personality traits of a potential obstetrician. The type of schooling that is nessecary, including the preperation that is available at Middlesex County College, and the average number of years that it takes in order to become an obstetrician. The demand for obstetricians will also be researched, along with the different promotional ranks that …show more content…
Also, since childbirth is can be unpredictable, many OB/GYNs are on call twenty four hours a day, and seven days a week. They can often be reached by cell phones and pagers.
In order to obtain a job in the field of obstetrics, one must first successfully recieve a bachelor's degree, a doctrine, and than be certified by the Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. However, different rules apply to those who have been practicing for a period of time. Gedes Grudzinskas stated that: "If certified in obstetrics and gynecology after 1986, the physician must complete a recertification process every 10 years to maintain certified status. If certified before 1986, the physician can take a voluntary recertification process" (508).
Although medical schools are not solely interested in science majors, it is important that the student take the required courses in order to gain acceptance into medical school upon recieving a Bachelor's degree. Many pre-med students study vigourously and maintain grade point averages of 3.5 and above. However, due to the many hours that are put into school work, the number of pre-med students drops drastically during the last two years of college in which preperation for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) begin. The scores on the MCAT will determine if there is any chance of being
Students would choose a path like yours as a path to medical school because of the liberty it would give them from worrying about a back-up plan should they not get accepted to med school. While taking the MCAT and completing pre-med courses is a totally realistic way of trying to get to med school, there's not much back to fall on should you not do well. This might make the student take up a major that is not as related to medicine like engineering which may deter them from the path of medicine because of the educational commitment it would take to do both. Having this option would allow the student to strive to be the best possible doctor they could be.
She was first seen on November 10, 2103, but this report was intentionally delayed until the results from the endometrial biopsy where obtained.
A gynecologist studies the health of the female reproductive system. The gynecologist will run tests to check for diseases. An obstetrician is a doctor who delivers babies and works with the woman to keep the pregnancy safe and healthy to deliver the baby around the expected due date. It is important to go to an ob/gyn doctor during your pregnancy because they can run tests to determine if your child will be healthy or not at birth. This essay will teach you more about the requirements and duties of an ob/gyn doctor.
As I made my journey into college, I prepared as much as I can for the MCAT. My educational journey does not end with a bachelor's in Molecular Biology, but obtaining a medical degree. Ever since I was a little, I always wanted to be a doctor and with that vision it required a lengthy preparation and a lot of studying . For my intended major, Molecular Biology, I took all the required classes for transfer in addition, studying my medical/Mcat books on the side. Given the MCAT covers a broad range of subjects, I decided to expand and take as much classes as
Maternity care in the United States is in jeopardy. There is an increasing trend of shortages of obstetrician-gynecologists and family physicians that once provided vital maternity care. With almost half of the nation’s counties lacking an obstetric provider, approximately ten million women are affected. Obstetricians-gynecologist themselves are also feeling the burdens of the understaffed hospitals and clinics with prolonged work hours. These medical professionals who dedicate their very lives to the field and the care of women are under a great amount of pressure and stress due to the shrinking workforce. Furthermore, interest amongst the youth is necessary in order to have an ample amounts of physicians available to replace the increasing
Pre-med is the first schooling to go through. Pre-med is four years of basic science classes. Basic science classes include, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Math. During pre-med, be sure to participate in volunteer work. Volunteer work could be planting trees, or cleaning up after a disaster. Volunteer work makes you standout when applying to medical school. (Bottom Line)
I have always been interested in the healthcare field, but it was not until my senior year in high school that I found obstetrics and women’s health. Now for the past four years, I have committed myself to the field, searching and seizing all the possible opportunities to experience the discipline. My love of the field has grown deeper and deeper and I hope to continue to pursue a medical doctorate specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. In the future, I hope to open my own obstetrics and gynecological practice in my hometown of Ithaca, NY. Currently there is only one OB-GYN practice in all of Ithaca and thus women have limited choice in who their doctors are. The OB-GYN practice in Ithaca currently has a monopoly. Having
Photo # 1 exhibits a Physician who specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology. As you can see from the photo, the physician is the one who is holding the yellow handled cautery while performing a cesarean section on a 39 week old mother. The Physician has completed several years of school. In order to even become a physician they must complete a four-year undergraduate degree, such as a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. Students may consider taking courses in biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology. They must also pass the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) to gain entry into medical school. The next course is to complete a 4-year medical school program, internship and residency in a hospital. An internship is usually a year long, while a medical residency may last between 3-7 years. Finally they must receive a state licensure this is mandatory, licensure requires passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination in order to be an OB-GYN.
For almost all of the previous 25 years roughly, the knowledge of pregnancy, labor, and delivery has changed little for some women. But change is arriving to the most traditional establishing, the hospital.
A gynecologist has the ability to take eggs from a female, and fertilize their eggs in a dish, then inserted back into the female (Bonnie 45). An obstetric has many days when he/she doesn’t have any time to sleep. Patients are your biggest priority, he/she could be asleep and if their patient goes into labor they must help them. Helping giving birth to a mother is not easy, guiding her through labor is the biggest issue.As just a gynecologist, they typically work in their own office or clinics with a small staff behind him/her. Either way both obstetric and gynecologist work full times, including overnight. Depending where their patients are they may travel (Powell). Gynecologist also have the power to investigate why a woman cannot have a bay. Research says most women cannot become pregnant because of clogged fallopian tubes, or sometimes hormonal imbalance within the body, this will prevent eggs from the ability to develop (Powell). As we move more into the future
There are current standards for the education of midwives, as there should be. They have to go through certain education, certification, and licensure before they can start practicing (AWHONN Executive Board, 2016). However, there are differences in these and the authority of midwives throughout the United States. There are different classifications of midwives that go through different licensure. Examples of this would be certified nurse-midwives, certified

Every doctor is different. Each physician or doctor will have different daily routines and different schedules. The work of being an OB/GYN is very hands on. The daily routines consist of exams, post OP’s, deliveries and surgeries. Doctors are not infallible. Some conflicts in surgery or
There are many diseases that affect the human body, some diseases can lead to death while others can be non-life threatening. Some diseases are more common than others, and some are so rare that we don’t exactly know there origin. There are thousands of diseases, and scientist fight to find a cure for each one. Many diseases affect only males and others affect only woman, and others are present only when we hit a certain age. Gynecomastia is a disease that affects only males. This disease is also known as man boobs, it is more common in newborn males, boys during puberty, and older men. Gynecomastia is a common finding that is present in up to 57% of men. Gynecomastia is basically
In spite of years of investigation in immunology, mechanisms that regulate the immune system in the bovine reproductive tract have received only little attention. This could be due to the complexities of the immune and endocrine system and also to the difficulties of conducting experiments in this field. The oviduct is an essential component of the female reproductive system that ensures successful reproduction [2]. Physiologically, the mammalian oviduct not only serves as a conduit for the transport of gametes and embryos, but also creates a proper environment that facilitates final gamete maturation, fertilization, and early embryo development. On the other hand, the oviduct is an open tube, provides a connection between ovary and uterine horn of either side passable for gametes and embryos or ascending pathological
