Rush Medical School: A Case Study

In 1937, Meridian Community College (MCC) was founded as a part of Meridian High School in the local school system. In 1965, the College also formerly known as Meridian Junior College moved from its original location to its present location. In 1970, the College merged with the historically T.J. Harris Junior College according to a federal court order to the Meridian Municipal Separate School System. There were more than 400 students and faculty joined the MJC campus. In 1980, Meridian Junior College established its own district and Board of Trustees. In 1987, the College officially changed its name to Meridian Community College to reflect its mission and the diversity it provides to a growing community (http://www.meridiancc.edu/Assets/1pdfs/catalog/MCC_Catalog_2015-2016_Book.pdf).

In the case of Shahine vs. Louisiana State University Medical Center, the plaintiff Ms. Shahine experienced right ulnar nerve damage following a right total hip arthroplasty. She filed suit against the University Medical Center and her anesthesiologist, Dr. W for medical malpractice and requested the court to infer negligence under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Dr. W was fully responsible for Ms. Shahine’s care while she was under anesthesia and Ms. Shahine obviously could not assess the true cause of injury while she was anesthetized. However, Dr. W provided evidence of non-negligence by thoroughly charting in Ms. Shahine’s medical record proper positioning and padding. Another anesthesiologist provided the court with uncontroverted

The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) is a special program created by the Texas Legislature to support and encourage highly qualified, economically disadvantaged Texas resident students pursuing a medical education. At the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Dr. Alan Vince serves as the JAMP Faculty Director. In 2017, Dr. Vince was awarded $14,544.00 (Exhibit A) for an initial JAMP distribution and he was later awarded another $18,000.00 (Exhibit B) as a supplement.

Once, i finish my basic classes at the Alamo Colleges I wish to futher my education by attending the University of Texas

The invaluable skills that I have gained and learned through my after school clubs, Future Business Leaders of America, (FBLA) and National Honor Society( NHS), has stirred up a desire in me to help my community and to make a difference in the lives of people, by majoring in the Public Health field. Through Public Health, I will help those in my community at large to live healthy lives; mentally, socially, physically and culturally. Healthcare is an essential need in life and is a great field that would allow me to make a difference.

I choose to learn more about Rush University Medical Center. I am currently a nursing student; Rush University medical center is a hospital that I hope to be a part of one day. To begin with some history of Rush University medical center, it has been a part of the Chicago land area for more than 170 years. It was named in honor of Dr. Benjamin Rush, the only physician with medical school training to sign the Declaration of Independence. It was first known for their expertise in engaging in patient care, research, teaching, associated with several scientific developments as well as clinical procedures. Rush discontinued their undergraduate education in the early 1940s, but continued teaching at the university of Illinois in Chicago. They reactivated, and in 1972 included colleges of medicine, nursing, health science, and research training. Rush has had a history of being the first to achieve many advancement in patient care. For example, 1948 a team member was the first in the Chicago area to establish the first cardiac catheterization laboratory and performed the first heart catheterization. Along with surgeon William Shorey who became the first physician to reattach a severed hand. These are only a few of the advancement that Rush has been a part of over the years.

Besides growing up in Colorado and considering this state my home I’m interested in RVUCOM because of the unique educational opportunities it provides to its students. In particular, I’m hoping to study in the Global Medicine Honors Track because I am interested in developing and furthering healthcare infrastructure in places like India, a country that is close to my heart. As the world becomes even more interconnected and easier to travel around, it’s highly conceivable to serve both the Front Range and places across the globe with the same high quality care. My superordinate goal in this area is to help develop cost-effective education programs and preventative methods that work well and improve quality of life irrespective of geography and

I was raised in a third world country where only few people living in major cities had access to health care, whereas the majority residing in suburbs and rural areas struggled to find a doctor. I believe that health care should be accessible to everyone regardless of his or her place of residence. I chose Morehouse College of Medicine because its mission resonates with my goals of serving the underserved populations and improving the well-beings of disadvantaged communities. Morehouse is a leading medical school in the nation in community engagement and public service. Its mission and vision intersects with the core values that I have been striving to implement and achieve since the moment I decided to become a doctor. Serving the community through education, volunteering, and community involvement are things I have been working on throughout my

The location of Rush is one of the factors that interest me. Being born in the suburbs I have only heard stories about Chicago. I believe the lack of education and a history of abuse from health care professions leaves the poor community in a destructive cycle. Attending Rush gives me passage into the poor communities to make an honest difference.

During high school, I was actively involved in my local AHEC, which offered a program for high school students in the area to learn more about the health field through various camps and programs. One of the programs that I attended was at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the focus of the program was to expose first generation college students to the various allied health programs at UNC. Throughout the program professors and admission representatives from various departments gave a short presentation to the attendees, but the presentation from the Gillings School of Global Public Health was the one that resonated with me the most. That day I was introduced to a

I have been given many opportunities to help others and make an impact in Johnson City through organizations like the Family Medicine Interest Group at ETSU, serving as the coordinator for student involvement in free clinics. I have also been able to make an impact through medicine in Cleveland, TN by way of the Good Samaritan Clinic. This is a free clinic in downtown Cleveland that I have been volunteering at for the past seven years. I have also been directly involved in the start-up of the Just Care clinic in Mountain City, TN, a medical student ran free clinic in rural Appalachia. I was also been able to spend time in rural Guatemala with a medical team from my undergraduate university helping diagnose, treat, and care for patients whom receive little to no regular healthcare. From my own first hand experiences in both Guatemala and my time spent in the Just Care and Good Samaritan Clinics, I have seen the impact that an inadequate health care system can have on a population. I hope to use my medical and public health training in areas that do not have adequate access to health

The curriculum of the Med School encompasses many hands-on practices that are often neglected at other universities. These practices include the following skills: healthy policy, community service and engagement, and evidence based practice. I can build off my current knowledge of public health and can apply the social skills and knowledge I learned from my classmates and professors to connect with my patients and prosper in my career. I can also enrich my undergraduate experience by thoroughly exploring all of D.C.: the populations living in area, the outdoor life, and the social conditions of the people around

I am graduated from Cuban Medical School, in the case of Cuba is very difficult to get the medical school verification. All my colleagues who have studied in Cuba and have obtained their medical doctor licenses in Florida, her credentials have being send and accept from ECFMG which has verified this information with our medical

I have always been aware of global issues and needing to understand what is happening in the world has always been important to me. However, I never understood global concerns through a health paradigm. Many of the concepts presented in this course were not new to me, as I have been an active participant in global issues and organizations, such as Spread the Net Campaign to end malaria, as well as many different human rights causes. However, the new insight I gained was in regards to

I love the idea of providing students with a variety of opportunities that would satisfy each student's needs. Whether its research, volunteering and community service, it all is provided here. The curriculum also allows for a great amount of flexibility enabling students to pursue these other interest that would make them very competitive for residencies. I have a great interest in practicing in underserved communities upon graduation, therefore every opportunity I get to volunteer in clinics and shadow physician in underserved regions is something I look forward to here at Western University of Health Sciences. Likewise, the diverse student body is great as each student come from various backgrounds and have unique experiences all of which
