Medical Careers

In today’s generation technology is the key point in all of our lives. With all those new technological inventions a huge percent of those inventions refer to the medical field.

The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.

I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother has a bachelorette in Microbiology and is a laboratory technologist. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. With the experience of my parents at their respected professions, I did not have the feeling that these paths were the correct fit for me. I liked the hands on side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. I searched the medical field for a career that combined my fascination for both human science and technology in addition to being able to interact with patients. My research on Radiation Therapy instantly established a thought that this is a career

Within the last 10 years, the “Baby Boomer” generation is aging, and surgeries have become safer overtime, job opportunities for Surgical Technologists are expected to grow between 2012 and 2022 (“Association of Surgical Technologist”, 2011). As advancements in surgical technology are made, Surgical Technologist students will have to continue to grow through education on the use and sterilization of newer instruments, such as robotic tools. Surgical technologists mainly work within the OR of hospitals, but one report states that

As the educational requirements has changed over time there are a few basic step that have to be accomplished first. Anyone who’s trying to enter this field must with hold a high school diploma. Also have to take courses in english, biology, anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, computer, and fundamental math. There are three education profession choices for a person trying to become a medical assistant. The first is two organizations a certified medical assistant (CMA) designated to the american association of medical assistants (AAMA) and a registered medical assistant (RMA) designated to the american medical technologist (AMT). The second option are a one to two year program taught by your allied health advisor and training at clinicals

Before attending Agnes Scott, I believed that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field as a doctor. During my high school years, I considered several different areas of medical practice and settled upon oncology due to my interest in the complex nature of cancer. I heard a lot about cancer growing up, but I never learned what it was or what mechanisms were being used to treat cancer. I chose to major in biochemistry to learn about cancer in multiple lights and understand cancer in its simplest forms. After taking different biology classes such as Biology 111, where I learned the different steps required for cancer to develop and the current methods being researched to treat cancer, I began to consider a career in

Today, in an increasingly complex world, it is time to find a better way to deliver superior health care at a lesser cost. Therefore, we must take discoveries and findings from the research to the patient faster to save lives. My motivation for my education comes from the sincere desire to make a difference. To be a successful physician, one must be caring, dedicated and inquisitive in this field as well as a whole rounded person. I believe these are some of the qualities I possess and I am sure that by studying medicine I can accomplish my dreams and contribute to the

The three occupations I am doing research on are: a General Pediatrician, Singer, and Surgeon. They are, in my opinion, very difficult but rewarding fields to go into.

Health information is the data associated to a person’s medical history. It includes all the symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, etc. The health information of a patient can be viewed individually to see how a patient’s health has changed or it can be viewed within a larger set of data to understand how the population’s health has changed. “Health information management is the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care. It is a combination of business, science, and information technology.” I chose this career path because I was stuck between computer science and healthcare professions. This career path also includes business, which I am also interested in.

Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections, and brings a more coherent meaning to our world. I started my interest in music when I joined band in middle school, playing trumpet and then switching to French horn, a more complex instrument, in high school. Upon entering college, I decided I was going to give up my passion for music and focus on academics. However, during my first semester as a Pre-Med student, there was something significant missing in my life; music.

Much of my time as an undergrad has been focused on conducting basic scientific research. Thoroughly enjoying this facet of my education, I find myself drawn to investigating unexplained phenomena. I plan to make research a major component of my medical career. Interdisciplinary teamwork is vital to the success of research, especially in the biomedical field. Therefore, access to research-centric hospitals and departments open to collaboration would be inherent in the location of my practice. Investigations with results that could prove practical towards my patients at the bedside would be of greatest interest to me. This interplay between research and clinical treatment will be one of the grounds that that my career will be structured around.

Though I originally started out in a different kind of health care field, I quickly realized that was not where I wanted to be. Having started out in Medical Technology, I knew by the end of my first semester that this was not for me. I looked into a few different majors such as nursing before coming to the conclusion that I should be on the business end and not the science end. I knew that I definitely still wanted to be involved in health care, so I decided to change my major to Health Administration. After the first semester of classes in the Health Administration program, I knew it was the right fit. I loved, and still love that I was able to be on the business end yet still be a part of something health related.

In the medical field, there are many different career opportunities for a biller and coder to choose from. Careers offered can be in Radiology, Doctor’s Office, Dental Office, and working from home. In this report, I will provide bits of information about each of these different medical billing and coding career choices.

The diverse types of jobs and career opportunities can be in a physician’s practice or hospital. Jobs in physician practice include those in solo private practice, small group practice, large group practice or a multispecialty clinic. These practices have many jobs: a front desk representative with a medical office assistant certification, and insurance verification representative, a medical collector with a reimbursement specialist certification, a medical office assistant with a medical office assistant certification, a privacy compliance officer, as well as medical billers and coders, or payment posters. Hospital jobs include those listed, and other jobs such as a Refund Specialist and a Registered Health Information Technician. The medical

I work in retail so most of the time costumers ask for my advice when they need help choosing which item to buy. Having too many options can make it harder when making a decision. Costumers usually ask for advice when we carry a shirt or a pair of jeans in a variety of colors. I have also notice that when we carry shirts or bottoms in a variety of colors we do not sell them as fast like when we carry less options in color. Lately I been going online looking at the different careers in the healthcare industry and how long of schooling you have to do. I need to quit looking around for other health careers and focus on what I choose to study when I started college. If I could go in a choice diet I probably choose to stop looking at other healthcare
