After graduated, I would like to be a laboratory scientist. Laboratory scientist is a challenging and meaningful job which is as important as doctors because it needs numerous knowledge and need to judge accurately. I want to use this knowledge to help doctors find out the diseases and physical condition of patients and let the patients can be restored from sickness as fast as possible. Although studying medical science is difficult and it is a considerable challenge for me, I still want to try

I am currently a sophomore working towards a Psychology and Biology degree on a pre-health track. Following these degrees, I plan on attending medical school. Although I have not yet decided on a specialty I feel involvement in different disciplines will help me come to a decision. Having the opportunity to participate in a research lab will help me succeed in the direction I am headed towards through gaining exposure and insight on what a lab entails. Although I have not yet had experience in lab research I am eager to join one, especially one involving ADHD.

The health promotion practicum course helped me explore around town in finding places to do my internship under a licensed Physical Therapy. I took this course since the class can help me discover my own self and see if I am choosing the right path for myself in the future. I did an internship when I was in the community college with my human services course. I volunteered at the activities stations at Hilo Medical Center and worked with nurses. I knew back than, I did not see myself as a Nurse, and that’s where I noticed a Physical therapist and witness up hand, in what they do. From there, I changed my track and I knew I would rather help people in a difference aspect compared to a nurse.

Goal: We plan to continue our current programs while expanding the scope and frequency of our community-based outreach initiatives to include additional physicians and allied health personnel.

Throughout my high school and college career, I have garnered the academic experience needed in a research setting as well as the practical skills needed for this job. As a current undergraduate student majoring in biology and interested in a career in research, I am confident that my abilities and education make me the perfect candidate for a position as a lab technician.

DocChat will provide access to physicians in rural communities that suffer from shortages, enabling more effective healthcare outcomes and establish capable care networks for active care management. New York State has a designated 179 Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA), demonstrating a significant shortage of primary care physicians as the HRSA determined the state only has 45.3% of the necessary providers. New York State averages 94 primary care providers per 100,000 people, however there is a significant disparity between rural and urban populations. For example, the Mohawk Valley region (rural) currently has 74.5 PCP’s per 100,000, while New York City has 100.6 per 100,000. Acting as “gatekeeper” within the member-centric model of

The healthcare field is one of the biggest and rapidly growing fields today. The aging population has been the primary reason for the growth spurt of this field in the past couple of years. As the baby boomers grow old, there will be an increasing number of people who will need special age-related care. Furthermore, in the past couple of years, more and more people are becoming health conscious. They want to remain fit and take care of themselves. They make regular checkup appointments with their doctors to ensure they are fit and leading a healthy life. Due to these reasons, the health care industry is flourishing, and it needs more professionals.

Workforce skills will also affect the supply, therefore, it needs to be considered in the forecasting to meet the future demands of healthcare. We will need to incorporate changes in educational and licensing programs in order to yield more productive and prepared workforce. Not only skills as a specific clinical knowledge, but also with the new technologies and the diagnostic techniques. One approach is the estimation of healthcare workforce requirements on the basis of the projected health and service needs of the population, converting them to staff requirements using professionally defined productivity norms. Although this is one of the adequate approaches, it is very difficult to use because of the inaccurate prediction of the health needs,

PPH could be prevented or managed if the women had access to a skilled health care practitioner with the necessary back-up and support (Jabber &Abbas, 2011). PPH is preventable in more than half of the cases (Della Torre, Kilpatrick, Hibbard, etal., 2011). Nurses are central to the effective prevention, early recognition and treatment of PPH. They need to be aware of the risk factors for this condition and take appropriate action when they are identified (Faiza, 2014). Nurses play an important role in monitoring the woman's status, assisting with measures to control bleeding, educating the woman about her condition and providing support to the woman and her family.

Healthcare jobs aren’t always easy to find on your own. The job hunt itself is stressful, time-consuming, and challenging. A recruitment agency that focuses on the healthcare industry is a big help for nurses, doctors, midwives, and other healthcare jobs.

The UNMC summer research that I was able to do was in their Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience department. The main focus of the department was analyzing the spread of HIV in the brain and its interactions with the Blood Brain Barrier. Skills that I picked up at the lab were that I learned how to use a variety of newer machines such as their new Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine with new primers, Western Blotting for protein analyzation as well as RNA isolation and many other skills. I also picked up on academic writing as I would help with the paper writing

People see hospitals as a place where one goes for healing and medical care, but hospitals are businesses that healthcare administrators have the responsibility of maintaining. Healthcare administrators’ responsibilities include many aspects related to patient care. Some of those aspects are social and public policy and the technical management of healthcare delivery in hospitals. Unfortunately, healthcare administrators are faced with many challenges as well. One of the growing challenges that healthcare administrators are facing is the shortage of healthcare professionals.
