Being an M.D or D.O carry the same mission and vision in providing care for the sick while helping to alleviate patients’ pain and suffering. Thus, it’s essential for osteopathic students as well as osteopathic physicians to have pride in such a rewarding career and educate

Coping with chronic illnesses might be a bit more difficult for individual knowing that the illness is not temporary. However, the best way to live life through any illness, whether that be asthma or cancer, is first and foremost to have a positive outlook on life. A psychological way of coping with chronic illnesses is through appraisals (Gurung, 2013, p 309). Being sick and knowing that one has support through family and friends, can help cope with the idea of being chronically ill. Marital status, also has a huge influence in coping with chronic illnesses (August & Sorkin, 2010). Studies have shown that the presence of a partner during a life-long illness can aid in increased health behaviors.

This exemplified the need for patient’s autonomy, beneficence versus non-maleficence and truth telling. The nurse faced a barrier due to the physician hierarchical working style. Collaborating using a multi-disciplinary approach and communicating effectively in explaining the disease process could have better manage her symptoms and improve the quality of her remaining life. It is important that early detection and treatment options are discussed by the physicians in an honest and open manner. As patients performance status decline healthcare members should provide informed decisions regarding diagnosis, prognosis and

It has been argued that the shift towards patient-conscious medical aid is necessary and that simulation in its widest sense can be used to support this process. However, sensitivity to what we are simulating is essential, especially when simulations purport to address patient perspectives. The essay first reviews the history of medical education "centeredness," then outlines ways in which real and simulated patients are currently involved in medical education. Patient-focused simulation is described as a means of offering patients' perspectives during the acquisition of clinical procedural and surgical skills. The authors draw on their experiences of developing Patient-focused simulation and preliminary work to "authenticate" simulations from patient perspectives.

Health providers who offer empathy tend to be more effective in guiding patients and fostering behavior change and medication adherence, and patients are more likely to reveal nonadherence when they believe their provider cares about them(26).

I have experienced many difficult situations where I had to rely heavily on non-clinical skills--flexibility, teamwork, and communication--to achieve a positive outcome. A PBL-style curriculum would be more valuable to me as a future medical professional, because it closely mimics the scenarios I will likely encounter in real medical practice. Problem Based Learning will help me develop my clinical skills as well as the professional and interpersonal skills that all healthcare providers require to succeed. Additionally, I believe that I will find PBL to be far more engaging for me as a student. Through the active learning environment that the program promotes with self-directed study and group discussion sessions, PBL aligns with my personality in such a way that will ultimately result in a better and more enjoyable

When a physician encounters a difficult decision, the physician is responsible for making an ethical decision; or, the physician is responsible for making the right decision.

The Building Empathy in Healthcare article mentions a couple of reasons of the importance of empathy. Empathy helps build trust and increases patient compliance, as a result patients have better recovery rates. According to a research study, doctors provide better service when their patients fully verbalize their emotional concerns (Killam 2014).

Whereas, Gladding and Newsome (2014) mention that college mental health services provide support within their practices to address the issues which pertain to their mental health, relationships, and behaviors throughout their time on campus, notably stress, homesickness/adjustment, complex trauma or dating violence, and drug and alcohol abuse (Pg. 381-386). Although they aim to research the best practices to support their population, in contrast to having different populations.
