Michigan Medicine Case Study

The Johns Hopkins Hospital is the leading hospital and biomedical research facility of the Johns Hopkins school of medicine, located in Baltimore City, Maryland. It was founded in 1889 using money from an inheritance by philanthropist Johns Hopkins. Johns Hopkins Hospital and the school of medicine are the founding institutions of modern American medicine and the birthplace of several medical ethnicities including rounds, residents and house staff. By the opening of The Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889, followed four years later by The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins accompanied in a new time marked by inflexible entry requirements for medical students, a immeasurably elevated medical school set of courses with importance on the scientific method, the incorporation of bedside teaching and laboratory study as part of the instruction, and

Just as the institution is eager to continue embracing the ever-changing world of healthcare and medicine, I too embody this same distinguishing characteristic. Throughout my undergraduate experiences I have learned in order to be a steward and servant of the medical profession one must exercise teamwork, service, empathy, accountability, and optimism; all of which coincide with the tenets that are declared by the Meharry Medical College, School of Medicine culture. Attending this medical school would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation and persistence. I know for certain there would be no greater experience than to be a part of the Meharry Medical College

With a mission devoted to providing an unparalleled medical education to students, focused upon continuous learning, holistic care and promotion of service to disadvantaged and underserved groups, I believe Meharry Medical College School of Medicine can provide me with a rich medical experience that will lend itself well to my development as both a medical student and aspiring physician.

I would be honored to enroll at the WMU homer Stryker M.D School of Medicine because of the school’s dedication to educating physicians through community outreach and commitment to lifelong learning. After volunteering for the past five years at the C.A.R.E. Clinic for the uninsured, I understand the need to serve uninsured Americans. Therefore, I want my medical school experience to incorporate opportunities to serve this population at locations such as the Family Health Center. In addition, the community health rotation would allow me to continue my commitment to the under and uninsured

Deciding on a medical school requires being a fit to the school’s mission and values so that your interest, goals and values meet those goals. The mission defines the culture of the school, and as a future attendee this will define how comfortable you can feel at the school and what you are able to contribute to the class. I would also follow up by sharing with him/her the highlights that attracted me to Mercer. I would also emphasize our PBL curriculum, our early clinical exposure through standardized patients, and faculty that truly invests and make themselves available for the students. I would mention our campus and Memorial Health, as well as our PGD curriculum and Community health. Showing the applicant my enthusiasm for MUSM and expanding on my personal experiences being involved with Memorial Health can further highlight why Mercer’s unique program is a good fit for students.

While applying to medical school, it is vital to select schools that will provide a conducive environment for not only academic and professional success, but also personal growth and happiness. I chose to apply to the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix (UACOMP) because the school’s values align closely with my own, and the school’s culture will provide a helpful climate for fostering my personal and professional development.

A Marketing strategy is necessary to develop and implement for all health care organizations. Rush University Medical Center in Chicago learned this lesson in the most difficult circumstances. The leadership assumed the reputation of the facility would be enough to stand up against all other health care facilities in the surrounding area; supplementary publicity or lobbying was necessary. As time passed on, it was very obvious by the drastic decrease in patient census and revenue that something had to change. The implementation of an environmental scan in that particular instance would greatly influence the facility in a positive manner. It is an approach that assists in the process of identifying and recognizing all the marketing elements involved. The first step of the environmental scan is an assessment of the five major environmental forces and trends. Next, evaluate the potential impact on the organization’s target market and adjust the organizations marketing mix strategy as appropriate (Berkowitz, 2011).

"The boundaries between academic medicine — medical schools, teaching hospitals, and their faculty — and the pharmaceutical industry have been dissolving since the 1980s, and the important differences between their missions are becoming blurred. Medical research, education, and clinical practice have suffered as a result"

As seen in this case study, TM was listed as a full code and no GOC conversation was had between the physicians and the patient until the day of his discharge to home. This led to an unnecessary swallowing study in which the patient needed to be uncomfortably scoped. Due to the lack of GOC conversation the patient also chose to go home with general nursing services instead of end-of-life (EOL) hospice support. In the inpatient medical oncology floors of a large teaching hospital like this one, most patients are covered by rotating interns and residents that are not comfortable having GOC conversations with patients and leave it up to the primary physician to come and discuss.

1. I do believe that large pharmaceutical companies as well as doctors prescribing opioid medication should be held partially responsible in cases when patients are over-prescribed drugs. Although they are in no way actually forcing those patients who are over-prescribed these drugs to misuse them and it is ultimately the fault of the individual misusing the medication, they are, however, allowing for the the misuse.In regards to pharmaceutical companies, I think that they should be held responsible for marketing and allowing such drugs available to virtually the mass public opposed to only those that need it in order to increase their profits. If they would not advertise the medication to medical professionals as something that they could

Rush Medical College is located in an urban area which serves a diverse population. I would join the Latino Medical Student Association to increase my support during medical school and to also network with other students with similar interests. The opportunities for volunteering in underserved communities at RMC such as the RCSIP would allow to me to utilize the skills and knowledge gained in medical school to serve the healthcare needs of the underserved in Chicago. My interests in this program stems from my multicultural background. Although I am both Mexican and Polish, I identify with my Mexican culture more due to being raised throughout the majority of my life in southwest Chicago. The experiences and opportunities I was afforded during
