I picked scenario one, just graduated from college and is beginning a job in a new city. The two things that I would do in order to begin my search is, first thing I would do is ask my co-workers, what medical physician they go to and recommends. The reason is, due to the fact that they will be able to give an honest and non-bias opinion. The second thing I would do is contact my insurance company and ask them what physician in my area accepts my insurance and pay them a visit because it will help me in budgeting wisely. There are a few questions that I would want to ask my primary care physician, how aware they are about the health disparities among different races. I do belong to a different race and my genes are from half way across the world. There are certain health complications which I am at risk. It is important for me that my primary care …show more content…
The reason is that I think with experience, you gain knowledge and untimely I want someone who has the experience and the knowledge. I also do not want someone who is doing my check for the first time. If that physician has found new treatment (s), I want to make sure that they have done the correct treatment and have the adequate amount of experience in order to do my treatment. The experience could involve, being a guest speaker at medicals school or medical conferences. The reason behind these two places is that, at medical school you are inspiring the youth who aspires to be a medical doctor. A speaker at medical conferences is because it means that physician is sharing their new research with others. The fourth thing that I would ask is what is their treatment philosophy? This will give me an idea about what should I expect when I get ill. I am a curious person, so when I am sick I want to be able to predict how the doctor might treatment me or say to me. Another reason behind is to make me feel comfortable and stratify my
If I notice someone that needs help I immediately offer help before they ask. I have tutored others in courses that I have already taken and usually do this for free. Honesty and integrity are also very important qualities that I believe should not just be incorporated into a physician 's character but in
After graduation, I would like to work in the research and statistics department for Medicare under their National Graduate Program to help improve the public health system by providing minority groups such as refugees and Indigenous Australians with better health care policies. Medicare provides access to many medical services, reduces the cost of prescriptions and gives free care to patients in in any public hospital. People who are eligible for Medicare receive free treatment by health1 professionals and other specialists and receive 75% of their money back for consultation fees if a person is in a private hospital.
Indeed, you mentioned an important aspect of disparities and it is one related to the disparities affecting racial groups. The United States is a multicultural country so for a healthcare professional to treat a disease or to approach a group is necessary to consider their cultural background, traditions, and beliefs. Despite all the United States effort to eradicate the racial differences in the Country, race continues as one of the most significant factors to take into consideration when we are evaluating health care services or high quality of care. Health disparities among Hispanics most the time is caused by the type of food they consume, and the lack of access to healthcare services. In addition, some Hispanic are not the United States
While many argue that minorities and ethnicities face health care disparities due to racial backgrounds, other argue that these disparities instead occur because of a large range of dimensions. The populations most vulnerable to health and health care disparities are often referred to as priority or vulnerable populations. Vulnerable populations include groups that are not well integrated into the health care system across a variety of characteristics, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, geographic location, language, gender, disability status, citizenship status, and sexual identity and orientation. Disparities also occur within subgroups of populations. For example, among Hispanics, there are differences in health and health
Disparities in health care have been an ongoing issue for more than two decades. Evidence suggests that disparities in women and minority population continue to be problematic, with little progress being made to eliminate them. Ethnic and disparities exist for several different reasons. However, several national organizations have made efforts to reduce health disparities, including the Institute of Medicine, (IOM), and the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) as well as Healthy People 20/20.
I see this job as an opportunity for constant interaction with experienced providers in the field like physicians and PAs. This constant interaction, I believe could use as a way to establish rapport and formulate invaluable professional relationships. Relationships I hope that would have the temperament of a mentor-student relationship, mentorship to someone such as myself, who has been searching for that type leadership, in addition to the provider-scribe relationship. I see myself attaining these types of relationship by becoming a scribe America

If you've ever scheduled a doctor's appointment, you probably well know the feeling of looking up from wall to wall and catching glimpses of your chosen physician's certifications, licensing credentials and award citations from various medical schools and medical boards. Some doctors display more; other less. However, not seeing anything displayed should send off warning indicators to future patients. Why? Well, simply put, credentials, experience and peer acknowledgement matters.
Discrimination in healthcare refers to the differential treatment of individuals or groups based on personal characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and socioeconomic status. A significant problem can lead to unequal access to care, misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and poorer health outcomes. Discrimination in healthcare can occur in various ways, such as healthcare providers not offering the same level of care to all patients, healthcare facilities providing limited services to particular groups, healthcare providers stereotyping patients based on their characteristics, or healthcare policies that disproportionately affect certain groups.studies have shown that racial and ethnic minorities often receive poorer healthcare
Doctors can save our life and give us life. Our health is important because it is how we live and stay in the right shape. Doctors keep us safe and healthy because when there is something wrong with our body, they can detect it and prescribe the medication that is needed for us to recover. Years ago, doctors didn’t have the training and test equipment they have today. We should be grateful for all the experienced doctors and medical teams in hospitals.
Often times with a career in medicine a doctor needs to deliver heartbreaking news and a patient will want to hear that from a doctor that sympathizes with them and cares about their feelings. Hearing bad news is always more appreciated when it comes from someone that can understand what the emotions you are
