There is a great deal that I learned throughout the course that can help me achieve the goals that I aim for in my future profession. The class focused on many aspects that I did not consider previously that went beyond just medical terminology, such as a strong focus on race and gender. Additionally, there were several different genres of literature that I had the opportunity to write in. The different array of topics, formats, and goals allowed me to broaden my expectations for future projects in my career and prepared me to be able to undertake any future tasks confidently.
In the course, there was a focus on introducing many different genres and projects to work on. Examples include a community profile, a patient letter, a research paper, a health document and memos. Furthermore, there was opportunity for peer review and collaboration with almost every assignment. Being able to work on a variety of works and also have experience working with others simulated what it might be like as a future health professional. I learned how to adjust what kind of work and writing I needed to do with each project, along with being able to give and receive criticism. This helped me understand what improvements I needed to make with each passing

When reviewing the previous projects, I feel that I can explain the ideas and thoughts I have effectively. The themes and claims that I make in my projects are all clear and easy to follow. Particularly, in the area of designs, I provide very clean and understandable formatting. My community profile was aesthetically pleasing and organized, my imRAD followed the proper APA formatting, and the health document I helped design had a striking and effective message thanks to the layout. The ideas I presented in each also had dominant impressions and it did not require excessive inference or thought to realize my point of
I expect to learn from this course, how to vocalize my views and standpoint and communicate my views on a particular subject, by participating in discussions and submitting assignments. This course has allowed me to develop my pace when researching and creating subject materials, which in the future should allow me to use as a graduate nurse.
Throughout this course, I was able to assess and evaluate my weaknesses and strengths in writing. This class has truly brought out my ability to write, a skill I did not believe I had. I now know what it takes to become a college-level writer. Also, at the beginning of the course I did not particularly enjoy writing. Now, however, I have a greater respect for
I decided to take this class because I am interested in learning the basics for the medical field. I am interested in being a pediatrician because I enjoy working with children. I look forward to helping families by curing a sickly child or completing a usual check up. No one in my family has entered the field of medicine. I chose the medical field because I feel as if I can provide help for people who need it. Although these are my interest, I am still undecided for what I what for my future and I'm hoping this class can help me make the best
I believe I have become more cynical over the years of being in health care and going through this course has not helped that very much. I often think to myself “Why am I in a customer service oriented job?” The entitlement people expect is mind blowing. However, I also think that my perception of health care is growing positively because of the different class and subjects that have been touched on throughout this course. I have a better understanding of the process it takes to get a law passed in our government, how to outcomes, and how to design a facility floor plan. Health care is changing quickly with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the amount of patients with the ability to get medical care. The amount of providers was not increased to help handle to large increase in patients. Patients are struggling to make appointments in a timely fashion because of the increased volume of calls on the call centers or front office staff. Patients are waiting longer periods of time to get an appointment because of the increased volume of patients. Doctors have the ability to not be enrolled as a provider in health care plans and that limits the availability of doctors that are able to treat patients on Medicare and Medicaid.
Reflect on what you have learned in this course and discuss how it might influence your work as a professional
Both courses introduced me the some of the basic skills and terms that I will need to competently accomplish my duties as a Radiology Technician. Secondly, Medical Terminology has provided me with a basic understanding of all the organ systems in the human body and I believe it has aided in my success in Anatomy and Physiology I. As for Basic Health Profession Skills this course alone can be considered valuable to most wanting to enter into a health profession. It is my opinion that this course has single handedly prepared me for just some of the sights, sounds, and smells that I will encounter in a medical facility. Moreover, this course has effectively informed me of the proper ways to interact with patients and their families as well as doctors and other staff members. For me this is an exceptionally important lesson to learn since it does not matter how competently you perform your duties as a health care provider, if you are unable to respect those around
This course not only helped me to learn about myself, but others as well. I quickly figured out how I knew very little going through this internship and once I realized that, I found out that
Although there are several new skills that I was able to obtain from this course, the most important one is individual oral presenting. When it comes to presenting I had always been with a group, however, for the first time in my life I found myself having to do a presentation on my own, and this was during the "Technologies in Healthcare" assignment. From the presentation, I was able to learn how to present on my own, and this is a skill that I am extremely thankful for the course for teaching me. Aside from learning new skills, I was also able to improve the skills I had already possessed, for example, dealing with heavy workloads. Throughout the years I had my fair share of experiences dealing with heavy workloads, however, healthcare definitely helped me to improve in this aspect. The way healthcare was able to enhance this skill is from the frequent projects we received in the course. Dealing with heavy workloads is also associated with the skill time management. The two are interrelated, as not managing your time will affect your ability to deal with immense workloads. Time management is something that I am still lacking in, however, healthcare has helped me to become better at it, as the course involved me having to deal with heavy workloads, which in turn meant that I also had to know how to manage my time. Although I
I was going into the class scared because I have never took a women’s study course before, and it was my first semester at Texas Woman's University. I love this class and it has shown me a lot about women and about my own health. Some of the topic or video we have to watch open my eyes that our health care system is in terrible shape. I did not think that I would get the blogging right away, but I did and now I love it. I love the topics we cove and the book teaches me things that I never image before. This class help me focus on my health and show me the choice I have to make for the future to live a long and successful live.
The Mississippi Nurse of the Future Competency Model is a set of core nursing competencies for the nurse of the future. It is the result of many nursing leaders in the state coming together to develop core competencies needed for entry-level nursing practice. Mississippi was one of the first states to develop and adopt a competency model. The purpose of this model was to improve education and practice of nurses in Mississippi, assist in articulation across nursing education programs, and help employers understand the difference between skills expected from them based on their educational degrees. The competencies were developed according to educational backgrounds and included LPN, ADN, BSN, and MSN. The Mississippi Competency was later revised to include PhD competencies. The Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies are as follows: Patient-Centered Care, Professionalism, Leadership, Systems-Based Practice,
The amount of time preparing for the class was high, but more professionally valuable. Helped to improve my clinical competence, learned more about conducting a focused history and physical on patients and also helped to develop critical thinking skills
I think the learning experience of this class should be more focused on applying it to day to day, and being an aspiring Physician Assistant, I hope that I retain this information and continue to build off of what I have learned so far as I continue towards that career. I don’t think that when I am in the health care field I am going to care about who discovered or named a disorder, but I am going to care about the symptoms, causes, prevention, and treatment. I find these parts of the course to be the most valuable in my learning
The writing class allowed me to realize how important structuring and formatting can be especially for a supervisor and organization. The skills I learned from this class will always help me in making sure I properly go about writing documents, policies, resumes, letters, and other work related papers. My effective relations course has given me so many tools I can use when I am a leader in dealing with stress at the workplace, or building better communication with my employees, and solving conflicts between workers. My personal leadership course has taught me that as a leader I can never stop learning or growing with my
After much thought, I came to the conclusion that there was not just one significant learning experience from this course. I enjoyed the variety of readings and the conversations with classmates. Developing papers to convey my thoughts and provide supporting evidence, has helped me become a better writer. Though, I am far from being a superb writer, this course provided the opportunity to further develop my writing skills.
My course was unlike most classes I have taken in college. This course educates me on issues in health care, professionalism, regulation, health safety, and quality. I feel like this course has made me understand the importance of professionalism in healthcare. This course has also taught me to attain a high standard in my medical profession. I have gained more knowledge of the responsibilities of medical professional in healthcare. I have gained an understating on the issue of accreditation, certification, and licensure, and it 's impact on my profession.
