The Health Professions Recruitment & Exposure Program

The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum

I first realized my passion for health promotion and disease prevention the summer following my first year of college. I had the privilege of attending the Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP), which introduced me to numerous healthcare professionals. During the program, many of the professionals shared their stories about why they choose the profession, and with each story, I began to reflect deeply on my own background and what drew me to medicine. It was not until an emergency medicine physician spoke about his experiences, that allowed me to fully understand connecting my background to my future. The physician mentioned growing up in D.C., which brought to mind my family in D.C. It had been almost a year since my grandmother

For the longest time, the medical field has grown as a part of me. I have been inspired to become a physician since my dad has been a long time patient of type II diabetes and kidney failure. This affected me because as a little girl, I would watch after his health by monitoring what he eats, giving him his insulin shots, and making sure he stays actively up on his feet. My father was the first to detect my natural interest in medicine and taking care of others, so he always kept me involved. What started off as projects in science fairs, turned into knowledge seeking state-wide competitions. My hobby of taking care of other people became a two hour volunteering shift at my high school nurses office. I started attending summer camps that were competitive to get into, and now my major in college is what I will use to get me where I need to be. Although I want to be an Emergency Room Physician, the general ‘doctor guideline’ includes but isn’t limited to common courses in the Bachelor of Sciences (i.e; Chemistry, Biological sciences, Physics, Human genetics). 4-year undergraduate degree program, an addition four years in medical school and a variation of 2-7 years in residency and fellowship (usually split 4:3 years or less)— this varies depending on specialization. Before the admissions of medical school, the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken and a high score must be achieved.

The Health Careers Academy provides students the opportunity to experience and interact with professionals in a medical field. So far, I have volunteered many hours at four departments associated with the academy. The department of pharmacy taught me many things. I learned that there are different colored baskets and labels used to distinguish the medication.

DocChat will provide access to physicians in rural communities that suffer from shortages, enabling more effective healthcare outcomes and establish capable care networks for active care management. New York State has a designated 179 Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA), demonstrating a significant shortage of primary care physicians as the HRSA determined the state only has 45.3% of the necessary providers. New York State averages 94 primary care providers per 100,000 people, however there is a significant disparity between rural and urban populations. For example, the Mohawk Valley region (rural) currently has 74.5 PCP’s per 100,000, while New York City has 100.6 per 100,000. Acting as “gatekeeper” within the member-centric model of

Educating the up and coming workforce of the wide-range of healthcare professions is crucial to filling the shortage. There is a range of options and “Specifically, the University of Vermont Area Health Education Center Program health career information activities should be expanded.” The schools are the primary places these students can obtain this information.

When I was stationed with the Marine Expeditionary Unit in Japan we had a mission in which we needed to be rapidly deployable within 24 hours. Do to the expedited nature in which we needed to be deployed we spent many days and weeks rehearsing rapid response. We additionally conducted several real world deployments that were conducted successfully due to our drills in rapid response. Within this unit I can attribute our success to the Executive Officer within the organization that was a Lean Six Sigma expert. He used to have the company lay out the individual data as to how fast we moved to deployment ready. At first, it appeared to the casual observer that the slowest unit needed the most help. However, as I now understand due to statistic class, that was not always the case. This is where statistical process control (SPC) has helped me greater understand what he was accomplishing. SPC is the process used to “improve the quality of a process” (text 251). A unit that would appear to be slow, as

Mary Young from Horizon Hospital is a 71-year-old Indigenous woman who was recently admitted to the hospital from experiencing an ischaemic Stroke (City of Horizon 2018). Mary is also experiencing left side hemiparesis and has slight paralysis on the right side of her body. When Mrs Young was a child, she was diagnosed with Chronic Otis Media, which has led to hearing deficits currently. As the nurse for Mrs. Young, it will be essential to form a therapeutic relationship with verbal and non-verbal communication to ensure that she gets the most effective care possible.

My journey across the U.S and ongoing job alongside doctor’s from different countries has made me more culturally diverse and strengthened my ability to be an asset to a team. I am looking forward to working in a program with high-quality training and strong academic curriculum to enhance career prospects and embark on the journey as a responsible

The Public Health Service Commissioned Corps provides students with the opportunity to intern at a federal agency, which, according to ENS CJ El-Bakoush’s testimony, would provide a diversified work day and it creates “a fluid work dynamic unmatched by the private sector” due to the spontaneity of deployment. The opportunities and the experience that the Commission Corp will provide me will further my career as a future epidemiologist, while providing me connections and networks that will last me throughout my career in public health. I will be honor and ecstatic if I get accepted to the internship program. If accepted, I will give back to the Commissioned Corp as full-time officer, particularly in the field of epidemiologist.

The term global health encompasses a range of issues related to health and well being of the people who may be either directly or indirectly affected transcending national boundaries and essentially focuses on improvising and implementing suitable strategies to mitigate and prevent the problems in healthcare at population levels following a multidisciplinary approach fostering health equity among all the nations. The narrowing of the gap between the nations due to fading boundaries and international collaborations has widened the reach of the native inhabitants. Canada is no exception to this effect of globalization and the impact can be found in terms of the public health, ethnic variation, socio-economic status, political and demographic

The principal aim of my career has always been to serve the society and my inclination towards public health stems from the very same desire. I grew up in India which has a lot of socio-economic deficits affecting health of our population. My family has always focused on prioritizing education and instilled the sense of responsibility to give back to the society we live in. Studying Physiotherapy in the early years of my career helped me pursue the dream to be able to serve people. I went to Institute of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in India for my graduation followed by eight months of internship in Army Hospital, India. This had given me the foundation of principles of therapeutic assessment and intervention. As I practiced further, I realized that a gap existed between the practice in my country and the ones with better developed healthcare systems and this motivated me to pursue MSc Physiotherapy in UK and gain some clinical experience.
