CHAPTER II
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter will provide review from previous research and articles that is related to this research topic. There are previous researches that have done research on the integration of theory into practice and develop a better understanding on the correlation between theory learning and also clinical practices among students. Other than that, the importance of both theory and clinical practical has been discussed.
2.3 IMPORTANCE OF APPLYING THEORY LEARNING IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
According to improving student confidence for clinical placement with a preclinical simulated session journal which was conducted in 2010 stated that, the clinical placement goals are including improving the application of theory to

In the article presented by (Meerabeau E, 2011), highlighted this issue and the importance of professional educational reforms to meet these challenges
Increased knowledge and sophistication of health care has led to the growth of specialization in medical imaging to ensure efficiency in these areas are very complex in practice. The reality of growing specialization in the practice of medical imaging is that no individual can master all the advanced role and knowledge necessary to enact this role. Educational theory and clinical practice for advanced medical imaging definitely give inventory in different specialties that require expertise, advanced knowledge and mastery in the field of medical imaging practices (Yanzhen Fan, 2009).
This depends not only upon the physician having biomedical understanding, but also upon their ability to actually apply this understanding effectively in the care of the patient. The student physician must be encouraged to make this important transition in their learning motivation at the outset of their professional career (Susan Hingle,

Interactive workshops can result in changes to the knowledge or skills; Didactic sessions alone are unlikely to change professional practice (Paul E. Mazmanian, David A. Davis, 2002)
There is a rich ongoing debate about our understanding of the complex process of clinical diagnostic reasoning. In this report, some of the basic process involved in clinical reasoning, as understood according to current knowledge which is translated into practical and specific recommendations for promoting the development of strong diagnostic reasoning skills in leaners. The recommendations are illustrated by a clinical case presentation and also the knowledge from the theory practices (Judith L. Bowen, M.D., 2006).
The relative medical imaging student is prepared to practice in an area of specialization within the larger domain of medical field. Indeed, this distinctive specialization is a hallmark of the trained radiographer. Such programs provide learning experiences that are based in a variety of patient care settings, such as hospitals, long-term care settings, home health, and/or community settings. These learning experiences should be integrated throughout the program of study, to provide additional practice experiences beyond those acquired in a baccalaureate medical imaging program (Yanzhen Fan,
Taneisha Grant’s narrative “When the Simulated Patient is for Real” discusses the real-life application of the information one learns in school by describing a situation between Doctor Grant and her patient, a worrisome man named Mr. G. Grant highlights the need to understand the patients themselves prior to treatment through her encounter with this patient. This encounter ultimately reminded her that her education will always continue to effect and to increase throughout her work. Grant takes a very patient-oriented view, making clear her medical aim to be helping her patients as best as possible. She mentions a need for objectivity, because it does not matter what “race, gender, or socioeconomic” status the patient has (Grant 182).
I chose TTUHSC SOM because of the ability to learn medicine in a place that values the art of patient care in its foundation as well as the ability to do anything I hope to do in medicine guided by the strength of its mission and the care that TTUHSC SOM provides for its students. I would like to conduct my medical career in a setting that converges between urban and rural settings. My parents brought their strong work ethic from Ghana, cultivated on their family’s farms, to Austin, Texas where it was critical in encouraging my own desire to work in close contact with a diverse population of patients. My experiences in the communities I’ve lived in and health care have provided me with the insight to work within both types of areas. My most prominent experiences in health care have come from working in clinics that serve underserved populations.
MRI Techs always need to pay attention to detail such as physicians instructions. If they don’t they can risk the lives of others. The need to obtain every bit of information the doctors give
This course solidifies all of the previous knowledge and skills from both the didactic and experiential curricula. Students will participate in activities utilizing patient cases that they develop over the course of their APPE rotations. Weekly discussions will draw upon previously learned, as well as new knowledge, highlighting their professional growth and insight in direct patient care. Group and individual active learning exercises, discussions, mini-lectures and Q&A will revolve around the changing and evolving patient(s). Students will be given the opportunity to show case their research projects and present a formal reflection on their comprehensive educational experience.
My experience working on PCU/telemetry unit and surgical/trauma unit did not only allow me to obtain knowledge on various different medical conditions and surgeries, it also assisted me with my organization skills and time management. As a leader working as a charge nurse and a preceptor, I am autonomous and able to multitask. Also from working with various different healthcare professionals, I am aware of different roles each healthcare team members play in the process of patient care. As a Family Nurse Practitioner student, I plan to advance my ability and my awareness to program my mind to think like an Advance Practice Nurse while not losing the valuable skills and knowledge that I have gained as a Registered Nurse. I will implement the knowledge and incorporate it with the education I will receive from Drexel University’s Family Nurse Practitioner program to better understand and learn to treat the patient’s health conditions as a Primary Care
In my senior year at UC Davis, I worked part-time at the Academy of 21st Century Learning. My responsibilities included tutoring K-12 children, designing and teaching academic camps, and building the Kairos program. During the school year, I worked at the Academy for about 15 hours each week, along with the off hours I put into designing camps and working on the Kairos curriculum. Through my time here, I worked to develop close relationships with my students, a competence which will help me to become a better physician. Additionally, because the Academy functioned as a team in designing and implementing a solid goal plan for each student, I am prepared to apply the skills I have learned to working in a medical
In his piece, “The Learning Curve,” Dr. Gwande explores the importance of practicing in order to learn a task. He also highlights the moral problem that accompanies practicing on patients. Through his experiences while training to become a surgeon and learning how to put a central line into a patient, Dr. Gwande highlights the importance of practice in medicine. He says,” We need practice to get good at what we do.”
This reflection is sought about through the use of reflective cycles, for example Gibbs (1988). Reflection enables the student to develop his or her own theories behind why an event occurred, this is also achieved by linking theory to practice in order to gain a deeper understanding (Levett C. 2010, Stonehouse D. 2011). For this practice placement portfolio the reflective cycle that I have chosen is The Reflective Cycle by Gibbs (See appendix one) (Gibbs 1988). Although it wasn’t made predominantly for reflection through nursing scenarios, as it was developed for educational purposes, it does give the student a cycle which can be used easily to analyse their event in a linear fashion. Although Gibbs reflective cycle is one which is mainly focused on the event itself, rather than the knowledge that can be sought from delving further into the reasoning behind an event, it does create a cycle which allows the individual to focus on their actions and the reasoning behind what they did.
The term Evidenced-based practice (EBP) is one of the most talked about concepts in healthcare. Nursing scholars, worldwide, have sought to provide healthcare workers with the evidence from research to be transform this into clinical care. To ease this transference of data into practice, scholars have developed EBP models. These models direct the researcher with the process from hypothesis to implementation of the data. The perplexity of EBP is that the data can come from research, clinical experience, patients, or local context and environment (Rycroft-Malone, et al., 2012).
There are different ways and needs of education to become a radiologic technician which include becoming certified, associates degree, and bachelor 's degree. To become Certified it may take one to two years. While in school to become certified they will teach you technical skills that are need at the entry level of becoming a Radiologic tech. When going to school for a associates degree which consists of two years of school that will supply you with the general education of coursework in science and communication. Typically you can receive your associate 's degree in a community college or at a technical school.
However, the fact that many nursing schools do not expose their students to simulated learning environments has contributed to poor performance in the field. Berox (2016) examined the level of student performance outcome through multiple patient simulations. The researcher employed an exploratory research design using a sample of senior undergraduate nursing students. He observed that 25% of the senior student could not use the surveillance tool to identify the patient complications while 41% could not demonstrate decision-making skills and critical thinking. Another 85% of them could not provide the right care to the
The feeling of having your stomach in knots before jumping out of a plane, racing motorcycles, or driving through the desert is a hard feeling to replicate. I am glad that medicine has found me, because it to elicits a feeling of uncertainty and that is motivating to strive harder to be smarter to take better care of people, to make one less mistake then you did yesterday. While I will always enjoy my hobbies that most people shake their heads at in disbelief, I am lucky enough to have found a calling that brings out that same drive and determination to do what others wont, and to learn what others haven't. Entering a career in medicine where doctors are held to unthinkable standards, and no mistake can be a big one is a challenge I look forward to facing in my pursuit to care for
Throughout these classes, you learn valuable knowledge about the medical field ranging from different medical careers to pathophysiology. All of the information I have learned puts me ahead of other students who share my career path and it has confirmed my desire to work in the medical field.
INTRODUCTION For an educator to be successful at teaching their students, the teacher must be able to asses the individual students knowledge of a subject (Guskey, 2003, p6). The clinical interview is a useful tool for assessing a student’s individual knowledge, along with other aspects of the education process. An instructor who is conducting clinical interviews are will be able to recognize the students thought process and learning behaviors when it comes to solving a problem or explaining a process to complete a report (Ginsburg, 1997, p.147). Furthermore, the interview allows the instructor to recognize gaps in both the student’s knowledge and the instructors teaching methods.
My clinical professor suggests that I need practice on my skills and wants me to spend additional hours in the skills lab, I disagree with this and will handle this issue by using an active approach, and being proactive. By using an active approach I will first ask my professor specifically what I need to practice on. If my professor gives me a general answer, I will proceed to do the following: I will do all that I can to solve the challenges on my own, and then carefully prepare to ask for help. This preparation means that I will be ready to receive help and be respectful of my professor’s time.
