It is my pleasure to recommend Molly Rooy to your Physician's Assistant program as she is an exceptionally qualified candidate. As an MD I need full confidence and trust with my interdisciplinary team when caring for our medically complex patients.

Her charting is impeccable, including thoroughly explaining her interventions and are always up-to-date. Molly's superior critical thinking and problem-solving skills…

Being a doctor is both a rewarding and a challenging career. Physicians examine, treat, and diagnose patients and ultimately save lives. Doctors can practice general family medicine, internal medicine, or specialize in one area, such as pediatrics, cardiology, neurology, or gastroenterology. A doctor who practices internal medicine is called an internist. According to the American College of Physicians, “general internists handle the broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses that affect adults, and are recognized as experts in diagnosis, in treatment of chronic illness, and in health promotion and disease prevention” (“About Internal Medicine”). Many internal medicine doctors will serve as the primary care provider for their patients and…

A. Why do you want to give the Valedictory/Salutatory speech address? Being recognized as the Valedictorian at Urban Prep is one of the highest achievements attainable at the school. With the significance of this speech, it becomes vital that the selection committee chooses a senior from the class of 2018 at Urban Prep Englewood that will deliver not only an effective Valedictory speech address, but an entertaining one as well. Establishing a well engaged audience is one of the most challenging aspects of most public speeches, and I believe that I am the perfect student for this position. Also, I feel as though that as being the first Urban Prep student to be admitted to the University of California, at Los Angeles (UCLA) it is only right that I am given the…
Medicine has changed in the past years in many ways. With the change and inventions of new cures, technology, and less invasive procedures, medicine has become a whole different world. Though there has been many enhancements that increase the productivity and treatment outcomes in medicine, the delivery method and care has changed along with it, and not for always for the best. Hospitals are what people find security and safety from all illness and diseases they have come across, but with the change of the economy and budget cuts, the first thing to cut is patient care and service. When people think of hospitals they think of long lines, waiting for hours for a simple procedure or question, medications that aren’t helpful and no care or relationship with the doctor. Patients get less time with physicians and more time with physician assistants and nurses. Many hospitals and clinics have made it known at the first meeting that after the initial appointment, the remainder of appointments will be either with the nurse practitioner or physician assistant. With less care and relationship from the physician, patients start to wonder why pay high dollar for less service, and that’s where the issue arises.…
