Statement Of A Medical Doctor

I envision the next ten years to be a time of intense personal growth. I will be building upon my strengths and improving my weaknesses. I hope to be fulfilling my goals and crossing things off of my bucket list. I hope to have the financial security to be able to help my mother retire, and help my younger brother to finish graduate school. I hope to be involved within my community, whether through volunteer work or a community-based organization. As for my career, I see myself working as a primary care physician. I am drawn to the long-term comprehensive care aspect of Internal Medicine and the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population in a variety of settings. This role aligns with my personal values in regards to health maintenance.

Healthcare managers must always be prepared to confront new challenges and changes to be able to have a competitive edge in the healthcare industry. As a new manager, I realize that my efficiency in handling things in the beginning won’t be excellent. I say this because like any job, it will take time to understand my role as well as all my new responsibilities. Personally, I am not that great in handling change, so I may resist the idea of change at first. Knowing that this can happen, I would have myself undergo transitional training beforehand to gain the knowledge and experience required.

It is a fact that we have a longer life expectancy than ever before. This has been achieved through years of thorough research, technological development, and most importantly resilient individuals. Doctors are constantly faced with different enigmas with no right or wrong answer. What first attracted me toward medicine was the desire to help and support, in particular, disadvantaged people. Coming from a country with an underdeveloped health care system has made me realised the impact it has on people’s life.

Interpretations of managers or of staff that are being managed can be challenging. Training to be a manager, is a theory, a systems or a processes that keeps a professional persona intact. The dimension to create your own culture and have no regrets . To motivate and mold the staff into the star they should be through acceptance of each and every staff member’s personality (Stettner, 2014). I had the honor to interview Janice, a Nurse Manager of the Palliative/Hospice care unit at a Veteran’s hospital. This hospital cares for many Veterans from telemetry, ICU, Orthopedic, Dementia, PTSD, Mental Health, Long-Term care, and women’s health, as well as the Palliative/Hospice unit. The Veterans Hospital is one of the largest employers in the

My job duties and tasks have served to develop and enhance my technical skills as well as my personal skills. I had a chance to work with planners who were in charge of different departments within the hospital. Working with them, I learnt about the different approaches they take towards planning their department and all the different factions they need to collaborate with to achieve the projects design goals. This for me was the most interesting part of my job, collaboration within the firm and with other companies. I got to sit in on team meetings and group conference calls with the contractors and suppliers, listen to the problems they were facing, and watch as the senior architect discussed it with the planners to reach a derisible solution. For example, when the equipment list was changed for the third time and sizes were changed, there

operate as a service provider. From this I will be able to gain a greater understanding of patient care. This collaboration between disciplines and the resulting improvement for the patient was identified by Hill (2006). Since I have started working within the NHS over the last year, I have had more opportunities to work with members of different professions both in the NHS and voluntary sector. This experience has helped me develop a better understanding of how patient care is made up of a multitude of smaller parts.

A physician assistant is a medical practitioner who works under the supervision of a licensed doctor. However the doctor does not have to be present while the physician assistant performs. If a doctor is unavailable and it is an emergency the physician assistant or PAs can talk over the phone with a doctor. Fewer than 100 PAs were practicing in 1970 and about 74,800 physician assistants are employed in the United States now (“Physician”). Physician assistants help the community everyday by helping with illness, and a lot of other health issues. They work every day to help and treat people and they are a big help to doctors. Pas alleviate some stress from the doctors and creates a healthier environment for everyone.

Despite the challenges, this facilitating experice has instilled me a degree of appreciation of many staff who work hard behind the scene to ahcieve the common goal of providing the best care possible to patients within the scarce resources. It was possible to see how good working relationship with other disciplines can improve overall efficiency.

The work history that has provided me with a base of knowledge or experience with this leadership competency includes six months of working in a pediatric medical and counseling practice in the main role of office manager. Because this was a new practice I wore many different hats throughout the day along with being the Office Manager I also filled in as a Pediatric Medical Assistant, Secretary and Janitor. Working in all these positions allowed me to learn the responsibilities involved with these jobs. I saw to both clerical and clinical duties including, billing, insurance, collecting lab samples, recorded vital signs, maintained exam rooms, kept up-to-date records of narcotic samples, and kept temperature records necessary to maintain viability of vaccines. I also needed to know and understand the basics of insurance practices, know the list of covered and not covered medical and counseling procedures, as well as know and understand the HIPPA laws, maintain patient medical files and keep them private, and

The interview with Chere Smith provided me with a great deal of experiential knowledge that are essential for my professional and personal life. Chere inspired me as a manager as well as a leader. The first thing I learned from this interview is that it is important to shared the mission, vision and the values of the organization you work for in order to have a meaningful career. Moreover, I learned the significant impact that managerial planning, coordination, decision making, time management, effective communication, participative leadership and motivation have on the management role. In addition, I also realizes that it is crucial to maintain work-life balance and flexibility as one move up the management ladder. The overlap between Chere experiential knowledge and propositional knowledge from Supervisor Management class give me the whole picture of what it takes to be a healthcare manager. In conclusion, this interview showed me the importance of the administrative and management role every healthcare manager plays in delivering quality healthcare.

In addition to scholastic achievement, well rounded physicians have plenty of life experiences. They have fought through tragedies, yet find reasons to smile. They demonstrate success and leadership in spite of past failures. Their story may not be glamorous, but they consistently overcome obstacles that would stifle others. Their drive and determination defines who they are. The physician that emphasizes the well being of others over personal gain, that is the physician I plan to be. My path towards becoming a physician has been difficult in order to shape me into a more complete person. These past experiences allow me to sympathize, empathize, and more supportive of patients in the primary care setting. I feel the need to use my personal

During the past few years I have held the position of Acting Nurse Unit Manager on four separate occasions on a several units including the Adult Acute, Mental Health Intensive Care and Panorama Clinic mental health units. While acting in this position I have been responsible for the human and financial resource management. I have attended training on the State-wide Management Reporting Tool (SMRT) ensuring that I can report on the budgeting position of the units I have been responsible for and also participated in the People Management Skills course giving me insight into human resource management and the ability to manage the staff I am responsible for on the unit. Over the past few years I have attended the mental health productive wards course, Bloomfield Hospitals NUM training and the essentials of care facilitators course which combined have given me insight into people management skills required for the Nurse Unit Managers Position.

The purpose of this interview was to further my knowledge on the roles and experiences that a health care manager goes through outside of class. I interviewed Jeffrey Uszacki (Zack) who is the associate director at the student health center at Auraria. As an associate director he is the operations manager in the clinic. To get to this level he was an assistant director. However to climb up the latter he needed to accomplish degrees and experiences to get to where he is today.

MD is the Doctor of Medicine, in Latin “Medicinae Doctor” and it means "Teacher of Medicine", is a final degree for surgeons and physicians. In countries that keep to the traditions of the US, it is a first professional degree given at graduation from a medical school. In traditional countries, the MD may be a research doctorate, similar to a Doctor of Philosophy this is an advanced clinical degree, similar to a Master of Surgery or an honorary or higher doctorate kept for medical graduates.

I have gained a lot of clinical experience after my graduation as well as specialized further in field of physiotherapy, but at this point it has become indispensable for me to gain leadership and management skills to progress further in my career and to become a resourceful person to the concerned organization. It isn’t an easy task for someone from a purely clinical background to be able to introduce change in an organization at any level without having developed the knowledge and skills needed for it. I want to be able to effectively evaluate health care outcomes and identify any social or economic determinants affecting it as I understand it’s a challenging task to provide effective health care with smooth managerial
