Summary Of The ATC Health Science Program

I am confident that the University of Connecticut School of Medicine is a respectable medical school that can prepare me for my future professional career in medicine by providing exceptional opportunities for my medical education. My interest in this instution lies on its commitment for innovative medical education aiming to prepare its students for their medical career. Therefore, the medical curriculum of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, M delta, caught my eye when I was exploring medical schools to apply since it was unique and I was certain that it was an interesting way to learn medicine.

“The Didactic Curriculum is comprised of foundation courses in the fall semester, followed in the spring and summer semesters by modules that provide an immersion experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases commonly encountered in primary care medicine” (Idaho State University’s “Physician Assistant Studies”). This is all the classroom learning in the program. During the fall semester, a student needs to take Regional Anatomy & Histology & Lab, Human Pathophysiology & Lab, Lectures in Human Physiology, Intro to Physician Assistant, Evidence-based Medicine and Biostatistics, Clinical Assessment, and Pharmacology (thirty credits). Spring semester modules include Allergy/Immunology Module, Infectious Disease Module, Hematology/Oncology Module, Endocrinology Module, Renal Module, Pulmonary Module, Cardiology Module, Gastroenterology Module, ENT Module, Rheumatology Module, Orthopedics Module, Psychiatry Module, Ophthalmology Module, and an Alternative/Occupational Medicine Module (thirty-one credits). Summer semester modules include Dermatology Module, Genitourinary Module, Neurology Module, Obstetrics/Perinatology Module, Pediatrics Module, Geriatrics Module, Surgery Module, Emergency Medicine Module, and then the student’s Comprehensive Evaluation (twenty-three credits). The clinical year is

The curriculum provides a solid science foundation through the foundation of medicine course that emphasizes genetics, pathophysiology, etc. However, instead of simply learning the material, I want to be able to apply it, so I am prepared for my clinical rotations. The integration into clinical concepts taught in small groups led by faculty is what distinguishes this program from other PA programs. Therefore, George Washington’s curriculum fits my learning style perfectly because when I joined small peer groups for physiology and biochemistry during my undergraduate career, I retained more information and learned how to apply it to various scenarios helping me excel on the tests. Therefore, this course provided throughout the didactic portion will allow me to apply the knowledge first through case studies, and then as a

The Allied Health Academy is the perfect path for me to get an inside look at the medical field and prepare me well for college. While I aspire to become a surgeon, I want to be exposed to other professions in the field as well. I am very interested in the anatomy of the human body and desire to learn more about it. Insight into the many aspects of the field of medicine will give me a broad perspective of what my future could hold. My hope is that the experiences of the academy are steps in the right direction in achieving

Currently, I am in the process of earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a pre-medical emphasis from Grand Canyon University. Upon graduation, I hope to attend either a medical or physician assistant school. My specific goal in the medical field is still up in the air, however, I am avidly exploring the fields of pathology, oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery. My interest in the medical field was sparked by my human anatomy and physiology class during my senior year of high school. Put simply, my life in high school was rough, and I was completely lost, as far as my career decisions were concerned. I enrolled in a human anatomy course, to fill a hole in my schedule during my senior

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

The main reason I believe I should qualify for the A-HEC of a Summer program is because of my ambition and curiosity. I am eager to learn more about the world of medicine as I have always had a set interest in the medical field. However, my interest is not just some downtime hobby but rather a full-on pursuit because I hope to go into a healthcare career in my future. In the medicinal field, a health provider must initially know themselves and have total knowledge in order to fulfill each patient’s necessities. I fit this description because as I have a tendency to want to know anything about a topic. I am never afraid to ask questions no one else will. At the same time, I know my limitations. I try to never overload myself with assignments

During my four years at Brooklyn Technical High School, I was part of the Gateway to Medicine program. I was introduced to courses such as anatomy & physiology, organic chemistry, and biology. These extremely challenging classes piqued my interest to explore a future career in health care. The Gateway to Medicine program was multi-faceted, I went from dissecting cats to learning about spontaneous de-combustion. My guidance counselor also helped prepare me to choose a career in the medical profession.

Having a passion in healthcare has always been of great importance since childhood. Growing with parents full of compassion for their jobs of helping others in the hospital setting and having them as well teach me the importance of people’s lives had exposed me to my great desire of needing to help the lives of others since the age of 1. Being accepted into a clinical program is a golden opportunity that would fulfill this passion. The LCHS Clinical 1 Program is a valuable chance to get hands-on clinical experience in a hospital setting. The clinical rotations that are incorporated in this program will help me know how to act in a professional setting, gain shadowing experience, and expand my knowledge on the different medical career fields.

For my Health Science Exploration interview, I interviewed my mother, she is a Surgery Schedule. She went to Bryant and Stratton College for Applied Science in Medical Assisting. During this time she got her Associate's degree which took 2 years to complete with medical experience. Which means she worked in Doctors Offices, Patient First, and Hospitals to get her current job. Some of the classes she took were Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Medical Ethics. She told me that her favorite class was Anatomy and Physiology because she liked learning how the body works, why it works, and what each part of the body does.

Before I attended to HS 200 class, I didn’t have enough information about what kind of jobs that I could get in with bachelors of science in health science degree. I had planed to take MCAT after graduation to involve into medical program. However, my plan was changed since I attended this health science class because of the assignments that I have done during this semester for the class, such as the research of the graduate program and the job search.

The nurse at times must review anatomy and physiology of body systems and landmarks. I had to review the body's anatomy and landmarks several times during this class and it was very helpful. I found the Shadow Health visual program a useful tool in my completion of this course. The program made me feel like I was actually in the room with the patient performing the assessments. It is a very good program and an asset to this course.

First phase is the foundation phase for first and second year medical students at which they begin their medical education for 18 months. This phase emphasizes basic clinical skills, basic science instruction, and active learning content in crosscutting scientific areas. This phase also focuses foundations of clinical medicine throughout the whole 18 months, molecular and cellular basis of disease for 7 weeks, invaders and defenders for 6 weeks, circulatory systems for 10 weeks, blood and cancer for 3 weeks, energetics and homeostasis for 6 weeks, mind, brain and behavior for 9 weeks, lifecycle and reproduction for 5 weeks, and consolidation and transition such as prep for USMLE step 1, research or scholarship completion, transition to clerkship and vacation for 12 weeks. Students at foundation phase will spend their Wednesdays learning and working on their clinical skills at a primary care clinic and clinical skills workshops. Once phase 1 is completed, students are ready to move on to phase 2, patient care, which will be the third year of their medical school. During this phase, there are required clerkships for a total of 48 weeks of clinical instruction, which is divided into 12 weeks for each. Finally, the final phase of the curriculum is the fourth year, explore and focus. During this phase, students will be doing 4 weeks of advanced inpatient care (sub-internship), 4 weeks of advanced care of the

In the healthcare field, technology, medical techniques, and procedures has been rapidly developing and we must always update our knowledge about these modernization. My willingness to learn as a student will enable me to perform effectively as a student and later as a practicing baccalaureate prepared nurse.

The knowledge that imparted to me by this course made me understand the changes in health care system. It gave me the positive attitude on the evolution and reforms are coming from. Although it still be a long process of making the health care improve because of the cost, access and quality, I could share my opinions having this knowledge and skills to my patients, patient’s family members and colleagues.
