“You’re transferring schools, Karina!”, my mother exclaimed a week before my sophomore year. Ultimately, this was the last thing I wanted to hear. I kept trying to decipher whether the news was good or bad. Moving to a Medical Magnet school smelled like defeat, and I was not fond of change. Public school was my forte. I was adapted to crowded lunch rooms, lively classes, and having classes such as art, band, up to ROTC. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but there was something hidden behind my personal chaos. Overall, this life-altering experience is what shaped me into the dedicated pupil and aspiring health care professional I am today.…
Integrated working is a coordinated, person-centred concept of care. Being person-centred allows the quality of care being delivered to be at an excellent quality. This is because the care remains tailored to the needs and preferences of the individual. Additionally Integrated working steers away from the episodic care and allows a more holistic view on an individual, in regards to their healthcare and support requirements. To achieve this individual care there are many aspects that allow health and social sectors to work together to support a person. Shared care plans is one of these aspects as this allows everyone involved with the care to all have access to their personal care plan. This allows the service user not to repeat themselves to…
Caring, central to nursing practice as it promotes patient health outcome spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Society sees nursing as a caring profession and it is also a reason why many of us chose this career path. Caring is one of the main reason why I decided to pursue nursing as my profession. Earlier this year in my intro to nursing class, I presented on the Watson’s Caring theory for our class project. It was also where I discovered that Kaiser Permanente whom shares the same belief model. Kaiser integrated the model of Caring Science, also known as the Watson’s theory into their nursing practice. Kaiser’s belief model is the ideal work environment that shares my core values about nursing. It is important to recognize future employer’s values because it is the framework that guides their practice in the clinical setting. Leading to the concept…
Mr. Schaefer described Ellen as a driven pioneer that had over 2000 visions (Schaefer, 2017). These visions were the basis of all the medical programs that LLU currently has with millions of students building upon the work she began. The values that these students, including myself, will continue injecting throughout our careers and life are integrity, teamwork, and excellence. Integrity showing consistent care, while collaborating with colleagues to build the upmost quality healthcare we can provide to our patients and their families is what I envision for myself, much like Ellen G. White.…
Those in the healthcare profession are respected, hardworking individuals who went above and beyond to prove themselves capable of helping others in the greatest way possible. My career goals are very straightforward. I’ve taken several steps in high school to accomplish these goals by being well disciplined in my studies, and participating in a Health Careers Internship Program. This program offers me a variety of opportunities that make me a more applicable in a healthcare setting. I’ve learned how to build a strong résumé and cover letter, and how do professional interviews well. We also get the chance to observe and participate in a medical environment. I’ll be shadowing with Dr. Steve Carr at Northern Star Therapy and learn the basics of physical therapy. I’ve done also done volunteer work in a Geriatric setting, at the St. Benedict nursing home in St. Cloud.

My hopes are to complete my undergraduate in there in the Pre-Medicine program, attend graduate school, and specialize in a currently undecided field of…
College softball players are committed to extensive practice and study to master the skills of their sport. As a physician’s assistant, I see myself incorporating (merging) all three. I want to master the skills of a Surgical Physician’s Assistant, work to improve the process of preventative care, and successfully research areas to ensure patients endure a healthy life. My education must pave the way for anything else I do. But an education in medicine is not easy.…
CCOM is known for its reputation of maintaining a strong sense of community, coupled with a team focused approach to medicine. It is important to have a foundation of community involvement, as it prepares students to serve as leaders in their community. Also, this form of involvement serves to build strong, trusting relations with members of the community, leading to more efficient healthcare. Moreover, this dedication acts to foster a better educational environment for medical students, as the community in turn welcomes us to the area to learn and practice osteopathic medicine. Additionally, focusing on a team based approach to practicing medicine, illustrates a true picture of modern healthcare. Osteopathic physicians not only work with…
Doctoring is the only profession where one’s career is devoted to another’s well being, and it is the only profession in which I can find academic challenge, honor, and moral fulfillment I seek.…
My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

In this paper I will explain what a healthcare team is and an example of a healthcare team and how they work together for the purpose of the well-being of one patient. Showing when they are caring for any patient their focus when discussing their care is to be focused on that one individual. I will then give some medical terminologies with their definitions, and finally describe a staffing situation where there is a deficit that affects the function of the office that could reflect on patient care. Delegating roles to assist in this deficit in the meantime will be made that could possibly make a change in budget purposes.…
