My experience of observing the application of new innovations in a clinical setting significantly contributed to my desire to become a health care professional. This past summer, I shadowed a Prosthodontic and Cosmetic Dentist in Manhattan. At the Center of High Tech Dentistry, Dr. Rosenberg, uses technological innovations to improve the quality of care he provides to his patients. While doing so, he manages to improve the lives of his patients in a matter of minutes. The hours I spent in his office revolutionized my thinking of the dental field. The best example of this is Dr. Rosenberg’s integration of the CEREC into his dental procedures. The CEREC uses 3D printing technology that makes crowns in a matter of minutes. Dr. Rosenberg taught me how to operate the CEREC, and allowed me to practice on an artificial test subject. The use of the CEREC was the professional application of technology that I first experienced at the SUNY Stony Brook lab. …show more content…
At the lab, I learned different computer operating systems and programs. More importantly, I was introduced to 3D printing. The lab contains multiple 3D printers, which students of the university and lab team members are able to utilize. Using programs like Tinkercad, I have learned to design and print objects that are applicable to everyday life, like a shovel or pencil holder. Working in the Innovation Lab I have seen first-hand how 3D printing technology has evolved. Three years ago I would have never thought that this type of technology would reach the dental field. But to my surprise, when I stepped into Dr. Rosenberg’s office I saw the practical application of this new
With my early trips to the dentist and the natural loss of my baby teeth having sparked an interest in dentistry before I really knew what being a dentist meant, I began shadowing to further explore the profession. As I watched a tooth take shape from a blob of acrylic under the experienced hand of the dentist I was shadowing, I was filled with the same awe and satisfaction that I gain from the piano. Dr. Aboud repeatedly positioned the temporary crown in the patient’s mouth, checked his bite, and painstakingly continued to adjust the crown until the fit was just right. Though I have wanted to be a dentist for almost as long as I have played the piano, my interest in dentistry grew
Technology is a very growing area and one cannot be successful if they are not up on the latest. In the dental field, most dental offices are now “digital and paperless”. It will be my responsibility to make sure that I teach my students how to function in a digital environment. In order to do this, I must be proficient in this area. If I will be successful, I must know what new procedures and technology is being used in the dental field. “Dental technologies have been evolving continually, helping to transform the field of dentistry. New technologies are developed with a focus on creating products and developing techniques that can be used by dentists to help prevent, diagnose and/or treat dental conditions and diseases
I had the honor of shadowing Jenn Dagger, a registered Oncology nurse who works at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. She works in the Oncology unit located on the third floor west pavilion, which contains both the Rena Rowan Breast Cancer Center and the Jordan Center for Gynecologic Cancers. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s degree of Science in Nursing and decided to stay in Philadelphia to pursue a career. She originally worked in the Cardiac unit, but she came to the realization that this unit did not fit what she wanted in a career. After acknowledging her dissatisfaction, she decided to switch to the Oncology unit. This change proved to be successful, as she now loves her job and feels fulfilled in her role as a nurse. During my visit she demonstrated leadership and teamwork among the other nurses in the unit. In recognition of her work caring for patients and their families, she received the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award.
Dr. Golibersuch is very passionate about continuing dental education and staying current on the newest techniques and technology to best serve his patients. He has taken particular interest in CEREC CAD/CAM and 3D cone beam technology, which allow some patients to be treated in a single appointment for procedures that would have taken multiple visits in the past. He also is trained in IV sedation to better help patients feel more comfortable during long or complicated procedures.
We hope his letter finds you well. Per Christina's email sent on November 12, 2015, CARD's services are no longer a fit for Dillon, due to his health issues being a priority. Also, Dillon's scheduled activities will overlap with his therapy sessions; this means he is no longer available for CARD therapy. Cristina also mentioned not being able to attend clinics, due to not being able to take time off of work. Clinic attendance is a crucial aspect of a successful CARD therapy program; and by not attending clinics, Dillon's progress and CARD's clinical recommendations will be hindered. Angelica and I have tried to discuss accommodations with Cristina via phone and in person on November 12, 2015, and again on November 13, 2015, to help continue
It is with great interest that I submit this letter to be considered to be a member of the Clinical Observations course during the 2016-2017 school year. I am interested in taking this course because my ultimate goal is to become a physician. Through this course, I feel that I will gain knowledge that would otherwise be inaccessible to me, along with experiencing events that most high school and even college undergraduate students would not have access to. I have a passion for learning and health care, and I am sure this course would benefit me immensely.
This is special observation report, because I could shadow a UH clinician during the whole semester. From February 03, 2017, every Friday for 1-hour session until April 21,2017 I observed the same UH clinician perform therapy session on the same client. The University Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic is located on the outskirts of the University of Houston campus. The neighborhood is known as “greater third ward”, the clime reports a high. On hand the clinic hours of operation are from 8:00am-5:00pm, during the day light crime rates decrease dramatically, and the security campus is always nearby. The building itself looks great on the outside but would not hurt to re-model the inside a little bit. The rooms have enough space for the client chairs, table, cabinet for putting things in, camera recorder, and some rooms even have a mini couch inside. The clinic has a huge observation room where parents, family, and observers can sit and listen though a huge one-way mirror.
In contrast, I feel like the most problematic issue I have during nursing school is being unsure of what area I would like to work in once I graduate. I seems like many of my classmates already know where they would like to work, but I am keeping my options open because I am still unsure. Unfortunately, this might hinder me from researching and learning more about a particular field I could be interested in while I am attending clinical field experience in that area. I feel that my goal of simply passing has humbled me and keeps me grounded and willing to accept what I cannot control. Although I cannot control everything, the main aspect of nursing school that I am in control of is how I manage and use my time. I feel like my expectations
I grew up with a passionate dentist as a mother, who would often go into great depths about her work with me and would sometimes even bring home x-rays and pictures to show me cavities that patients had and how she fixed them. I began shadowing her, to better understand the work, and I immediately developed an interest in technologies such as UV curing and 3D impression modeling. I wanted to learn more, so I applied to her VA hospital’s volunteer program. Over the next several years I had the privilege of working as a neurologist’s assistant, an IT team member, and an emergency room patient coordinator. This long-term apprenticeship exposed me to the latest advancements in healthcare technology.
MEDEVAC operations are a key element to the Soldiers on the ground. Many lives are saved on a daily basis when the unarmed pilots fly into enemy fire to save the life of someone they do not even know. They are a true hero to many Soldiers. The following battle relied heavily on MEDEVAC operations to save lives. The decisions made during the rescue are the reason that some of the Soldiers from Chosen Company are alive today.
A doctor walks into the room of a patient where his parents and him are anxiously awaiting the news that he is about to give them. He tells them information they have been praying for: Their son’s cancer is cured. The doctor later walks into a different room with a similar situation. He has to give them different news: Their son isn’t going to live for much longer. Medical field workers have jobs that can be rewarding, but when people see that the medical field has to offer, like the stressful situations, immense amounts of schooling, debt, and constant changes they may want to reconsider becoming a part of it.
During my ICE rotation at Clements University Hospital, I saw a variety of patients. The first patient I worked with was a 68-year-old male diagnosed with diverticulitis. The patient had surgery to reduce the inflammation and pouches formed, but the problem persisted. The patient received two more abdominal surgeries following the first one, which helped significantly. Although the physical therapist did not mention any precautions, the patient was very slow to sit up and move. The patient had a hard time speaking, but understood the physical therapist when he spoke to him. The patient was very slow with his movements and required maximum assistance.
What would you do if you needed surgery and the doctor told you there was new technology that allow surgeons to spend less time while operating and is much safer? The parents of ten-year-old Kevin Yintia from Kansas City was faced with this type of question earlier this year. Kevin contracted an infection living in Central African Republic while he was just a baby. This infection caused severe damage to Kevin’s hip, which made him smaller than the average boy. Since Kevin was only ten years old, other methods of treatment like braces would be very costly as he would out grow them every few months (Carter). The Chief of Orthopedic Research, Dr. Richard Schwend, at Children’s Mercy Hospital was able to fix Kevin’s
All members of a medical team need to know the different types of laws not only for their benefit, but for the safety of their patient. If someone acts out of line and does a procedure beyond their ability, it is risking a life! And that is a scary thought no matter what the situation. I only want someone who is working within their own abilities on me. It makes for a safer environment and prevents lawsuits from happening if something was to go wrong.
