While I was shadowing a few neurologists in Ravenna, OH, I mentioned all of the medical schools that I was considering applying to, and they told me that I should put the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine at the top of my list. After researching the program further, I was pleased to see the impact that the UC Medical Center was having on the community and the cutting edge research and education that UC medical students are able to take a part of. As an Ohio native, I would be honored to invest into my home state as much as possible. I grew more and more excited as I learned about the excellent professors and resources that UC had to offer, and as a hands-on-learner, I found UC's simulation center to be of particular interest to
I resist any distraction that is present during the class. There are at times students outside the classroom who are playing around but I ignore them because the information that is being told is important, because I will need to know this information for the Clinical Medical Assistant Certification Exam. In addition, I ignore my phone that is placed on my desk even when I receive a text because the information being told will not be repeated due to the fact that the day he repeats the lesson is the day I am volunteering. For example, on December 19, 2016, we were shown a presentation for the hand washing assignment, I made sure to pay attention to the steps taken, even as Dr. Levinson was explaining as the lady went on I paid attention to
learned much more, and looking back, this first semester has made me more interested in
My time in the medical assisting program has been some of the best and some of the worst times of my life, but one thing is for sure, I wouldn't take it back for anything. I have made some of the best friends and colleagues from the beginning of this program. I have learned what the definition of preservence and hard work meant from this program.
Maggie Gill started her career with Memorial University Medical Center (MUMC) in 2004 as the VP of managed care and finance. In 2005, she became MUMC's COO, and then in 2011, she was named CEO and president by the board of directors, once they realized that the ideal candidate for the position, one who had experience in both finance and operations, was already employed by the health care facility.
I chose Wayne State School of Medicine because its vision resonates with my values and career goals.
After researching about Albany School of Medicine’s missions and curriculum, I feel your school has the same vision for the future health care environment, giving me the best tools and education to become a doctor of the future. I believe that my past experiences in health care and perspective on medicine will
Today clinical was very good. I was with Ms. Betty, LPN. She is very caring and I like her relationship with her patients, always maintaining caring and professionalism each time we went to see a patient. Throughout the morning Ms. Betty administered ordered medications per patient’s doctor orders. I watched her gave several injections and she verified all the eight routes and use critical thinking. We also evaluate patient’s status after medication administration to make sure they are stable and check for any complications by using communication. She allowed me to do the vital signs and AcuCheck before administering certain drugs and other medications that had required blood pressure, apical pule, pulse and blood sugar check prior to administering
When students gather during an orientation like Boiler Gold Rush, they come with diverse backgrounds, opinions, and perspectives. Through communication and understanding we can learn to come together to welcome new ideas and look at the world in ways we never imagined. We all came to Purdue in August with varying levels of excitement and terror, but once realizing the we were all in the same situation, we found comfort in new friendships and began realizing that while we were on the same journey, we all had different needs and viewpoints. I plan to go into the healthcare field, which requires me to look at situations from a patient’s perspective every day as I work toward fulfilling their individual needs. In my experience, the best way to
Today was my second day to volunteer at the Hamtramck Medical Center, and my supervisor said, “she will show me how to take the children (patients) in and how to measures their heights, weight, and temperature.” I was very happy because I love to deal with children.
It is nice to have you and your experience in the class. I work in the ED but enjoy the diversity of everyone’s nursing experience. I feel it brings a great amount of knowledge to the weekly discussions. When addressing diversity and cultural competence related to patient care, I agree with you. While I live in southeastern North Carolina, I also serve a very diverse population and understand the importance of ensuring my health care practices are suited for a multitude of individuals. The area I currently serve is also impoverished and it is essential to practice while being creative to assist individuals with meeting their medical needs. I look forward to sharing discussions with you in this course.
I learned from the lecture High-Performing Healthcare Organizations that should be given the following conditions; 1. Emphasize mission, vision, values, and goals. 2. Maintain a culture of listening, empowerment, training, and rewards. 3. Measure performance, establish benchmarks, and negotiate reasonable goals. And, 4. Maintain close relations with all stakeholders. I am sure that if the HCO is operated on these bases, it will be thriving continuously.
Throughout this ten weeks I have learned a lot, especially the skills in lad and clinical. I was really worried that med surge one was going to be hard and I will struggle throughout the course, but our instructor was really awesome she helped us out by teaching us the main key points and what we really needed to know for the upcoming quiz and skills. Safety and patient centered care Is what I would say that was more important throughout this course, the skills we were taught in lab also played an important role, because during clinical it made it easy to understand during our morning assessments, for example, knowing what was normal and abnormal and knowing how to perform our skill on real people with chronic complication. In the beginning
My internship this semester has allowed me the opportunity to learn about marketing and used my creativity skills. One of the requirements was to organize and conduct a meeting with the surgery scheduler from the offices that we work with. The idea was to build a relationship between us, hoping this would help encourage the surgery scheduler to bring the cases they schedule to Grand Valley Surgical Center (GVSC). The meeting was to be about meeting and putting a face to the voice we talk to daily, educating them on our processes and to learn how we could improve our services to them. My first step was to develop a theme. I searched the internet and brainstormed with my employees and we landed on the theme “Creating Connections”. The meeting
I have learned more advanced troubleshooting skills and software basics. I have also learned how I can interact with members of my community to help me solve problems I run into on my way to a solution to a problem.These things will help me in my future because being a good problem solver is a well sought after trait in possible employees so that will allow me to market myself better as a person when trying to get a good job, along with the possible benefits it could mean for the company while i'm working there. It also gave me the opportunity to exercise my interpersonal skills by being able to reach out to professionals at the University of Missouri to help answer some of my questions. Which is good because it helps me to be better at finding a solution to problems with other people well.
The patient I cared for today, was admitted into the NICU on October 17th. He was experiencing respiratory distress, has breathed (aspirated) meconium into the lungs around the time of birth. The neonate had stabilized, so the nurse and I were preparing for the family to discharge from the hospital. The immediate needs that were verbalized by the patient were hunger cries and soiled diaper/ angry cries. Immediate needs from the family were instruction on how much formula to feed the baby and circumcision care once discharged home. During my clinical experience, the patient experienced pain from the circumcision process. The health care team members alleviated the physical suffering by administrating lidocaine pain medication and giving the baby sugar water. I think the only improvement that I would make to these interventions would be to administer the lidocaine earlier so that it could be more effective in the patient’s pain management. Long term needs for the patient were speech therapy in order to improve the baby’s feeding technique, infection prevention, and teaching measures for the parents. The needs could be met through referral to a speech therapist upon discharge from the hospital, teaching family members proper handwashing, and educating parents on subject matters.
