In our healthcare setting, we are dealing with either communicable or non-communicable diseases or comorbid situation, and how we react to these diseases on an individual basis or as a healthcare system is crucial. In my opinion, conducting research is an expansion of knowledge and certainly, is extremely of great importance in facilitating the discovery of possible cures for diseases, as well as their prevention. This postdoctoral training will grant me a chance of developing the required skill set and expand my skills in the areas of analytic thinking, research techniques, public presentation, professional writing to highest impact in research academia, accelerating the research collaborative skills working together with people from different
I always had interest in a clinical research career that serves a large number of people by emphasizing more on research studies by exploring whether a medical strategy, treatment or device is safe and effective for humans. As a graduate in medicine, my strong base in the medical field continually challenged and motivated me to expand my skills in patient care. My coursework has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of how disruption in biological systems can influence one’s health.
Nursing education is constantly evolving as new techniques are introduced within the medical profession. Thus, it is imperative nurses are kept updated, and continuously learning new methods to enhance and improve patient care. Over the last 150 years there has been a drastic change in nursing`s participation in research. Nursing research advanced initially from the investigations made by Nightingale in the nineteenth century of nursing education during the 1930`s. This further progressed to the research of nursing roles in 1950s following on to the 1990s where nurses began to focus on clinical problems and finding solutions to these problems which had a major impact within the nursing profession. As of today many health professionals are focusing on clinical research which in turn has helped to establish an evidence informed practice for nurses. (Burns and Grove 2003)
Looking through research focused on health and aging done by faculty and students, I could deeply understand the recent situations in the aging population. To strengthen my organization and analytical skills, I will look for internship on campus, such as an Undergraduate Research Assistant to assist in health science related research. This further prepares me to provide the most appropriate care for older persons according to their
I became strongly proficient in networking in healthcare government and industry forums and sought opportunities to participate and influence the healthcare public policy formulation process. To incentivise and provide a challenge for the best performing writers of my team, I researched specialised or topic specific policy formulation training and opportunities within the government to enhance our skillsets.
As a result of my versatile work experience, as well as my community and organizational involvement, I have learned the importance of being a team player in order to perform effectively and efficiency. Having exposure to multiple clinical rotations in variable institutional settings has enhanced my time management skills, multi-tasking ability, and effective communication to both diverse patient populations and fellow practitioners. These qualities, along with my genuine enthusiasm and empathetic passion to help others, will allow me to become an integral component to your residency team.
Research is important in health and social care setting because it helps improve medical treatments and medicines for
I enjoy working alongside other healthcare professional. I believe that collaborative practice is the future of medicine; thus, I would appreciate the chance to work alongside medical students to provide an optimal healthcare for the clinic patients. I have previously collaborated with the medical students more than once by working closely with the Boarder Health Project. Because of these collaborations, we were able to administer more than 150 flu shots, in addition to counseling patients on the proper use of OTC medication.
In this 21st century, health care is advancing remarkably and achieving various results through research. Research is vital to bring about new inventions, techniques and improvements and create a new body of knowledge. In nursing, research helps to bring about improvements in current practice, knowledge, patient outcomes as well as to create new polices and upgrade the existing ones. For example, a “re-challenge protocol” was created by the researchers to reduce the drug reactions caused by two chemotherapeutic agents. Likewise, numerous research is conducted to improve scientific knowledge in various fields of science. One such knowledge in the field of science is the nursing knowledge.
I am interested in the Summer Intensive Health Scholar Program because I want to get expose to the hospital’s environment while helping patients. I want to be able to see how to learn and cope with patients with different background and culture than my own. I know that different patients deal with their daily life problems differently, especially at the hospital. This is because the patients’ live can be at the most difficult time period since they are dealing with their illnesses and are trying to recover from them. I want to learn from the patients and use the knowledge and experience that I am going to learn to help preparing for my future career in the healthcare field. Also, I want to see how doctors, nurses, and other health care professions
The health care field is ever changing, the article The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010), explains all the changes that need to happen in the health care system (Institute of Medicine, 2010). The recommendations that the Institute of Medicine has for the health care field are ones that are important for the workers as well as the patients. This report applies to my career because being in the master’s program I am furthering my education, which is one of the messages that this article has to the readers (Institute of Medicine, 2010, p. 4). Message one is also relevant to my career because it talks about nurse residency program and I have been in a program for a little over a year (Institute of Medicine, 2010, p. 5). As a nurse doing continuing education is a way of following new trends and developments in information.
I have accomplished some courses, which greatly helps me in improving care and outcome and working towards the patients’ goals. Being as one of the Administrative staff in my work, I am very pleased of learning new ideas from IHI and having this applied towards my work setting.
Nursing research in essential in the development of EBP that greatly improve patient outcomes. The unique approach of the APRN needs to continue to be nurtured. Concentration in strategies geared towards disease prevention and health promotion is essential as these areas represent a great departure from the patient care that other disciplines deliver.
Working as a clinical research fellow at Harvard Medical School has been a great learning experience. I have gained first-hand knowledge about the American health care system, and it has enhanced my regards towards clinical research in advancing
I believe that Monash University is the best University for this research as it has an outstanding record for research programs not only in Australia but also across the globe. Also, studying in one of Australia’s leading research universities will help to enrich my knowledge, particularly in my desired field and professionally outgrowth thereby contribute to the development in the health care system both nationally and globally. Furthermore, the university is well-equipped with the latest
I chose leadership in Health Care Policy and Education as my area of specialization for my Masters in Nursing because it would help in achieving my career objectives, that is, to advance my nursing career through professional development of self by engaging in long life learning through continuing education in graduate school. Also, to assume leadership role in the use of evidence based research to develop healthy public policy and contribute to population health. I will be able to gain an advance understanding into current issues affecting health care, how healthcare policies are
