This is what many doctors call “flesh and blood decision making” (page 6). The “fast and frugal” part of the thinking, where your actions work ahead of your thoughts, are the core of flesh and blood decision making. Dr. Groopman explains how snap judgment is not taught, but is developed in the moment, right when a new doctor steps onto the medical floor. He says, “[snap judgments and thin slicing] serve as the foundation of all mature medical thinking, it can save lives…” (page 7). Thin slicing and snap judgements cannot be taught in medical school, it is more like a reflex a doctor develops with more experience.
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.
school, you don’t want to be a second-class citizen” (Berger, 2014). While social stigma arises from various standpoints, osteopathic physicians’ competency is often scrutinized due to their low GPA or MCAT score in gaining acceptance into medical school. As this might hold true and have sheltered many aspiring students, it’s important to recognize that osteopathic physicians receive similar medical education and training as compare to allopathic physicians. An acceptance to medical school is just the beginning of the medical journey, as they still repeatedly have to prove their competency through medical licensing exams. The quality of being a good physician is rooted in patient care.
I have attended several leadership camps and seminars, but there is always room for improvement in regards to leadership abilities. Having a higher leadership role than what I already have will significantly improve my knowledge of leadership and better refine the leadership skills that I already have. There are a lot of
As for myself I could probably, read more leadership books, take more classes or seminars, pinpoint certain skills, behaviors, authenticity and hone in on them. I could also practice more on the traits that I could do better at. I could also listen and attend more lectures. It’s like the old joke goes…what is the biggest room in the world? Answer, room for improvement.
Taking that class made me set my mind straight that I want a career that is related to the Medicine world. Another Educational opportunity that I took advantage of was learning the difference of college and the regular high school teenager life visiting the University of La Verne helped me get an idea of how the students live the life in dorms and overall how life is there at college. It also helped me learn about the different kinds of majors that are offered in that University. Visiting the University of La Verne helped me view the different possibilities there is to get help to attend a university as well as all the different possibilities you have to get financial aid or how to get scholarships.
The goal of this literature review is to show the importance of incorporating evidence based practice (EBP) into the clinical and education setting of nursing. EBP education needs to be added to yearly nursing competencies in all settings of healthcare delivery. While EBP and protocols should never replace clinical critical thinking on an individual, patient to patient level, the community deserves the best care, which is current evidence-based. Nurses are accountable for their choices in practice, EBP empowers nurses to question rationale of protocols and physician orders. There has been an attempt to implement EBP into the clinical practice of the healthcare system nationwide.
The Joint Commission determines the highest priority patient safety issues and how best to address them (The Joint Commission, 2016). Treatment issues and errors have been a focus of the Joint Commission however the errors in diagnosis leading to inaccurate treatments have not been of serious concern to be placed on the dockets (Berenson et al., 2014). The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine and the Institute of Medicine are examining this problem. It is currently made up of mostly physicians and other healthcare professionals.
Some of the educational requirements for my career will be to have at least four-year degree from an accredit college. There is also a healthcare administration graduate degree that can be obtain from an accredited school. There is no mandatory certification for Healthcare Administration however, depending on the role you are in having a certification may make you more marketable and be helpful for you career.
Self Reflection over an Introduction to Adaptive Leadership When first signing up for this class I believed it to be a class about learning how to become a leader, or an even better one. After watching the course introduction and learning more about this class I learned that it was not what I thought it was about, but would still value me greatly. As I have examined the history of different leadership styles and theories I have expanded greatly on what I knew about leadership, learning specifically about adaptive leadership. I can also say that I have seen growth in my journals over the past few weeks, as they have started to grasp a better understanding of adaptive leadership.
It has started to become more relatable to the period of time it lives in. The program needs to and seems to change with the time to stay relevant and useful in today’s society. The program will still have the same mission and priorities but the curriculum would need to be more evolved and it would need to expand to different topics. High schools all over the country should be helping students find career opportunities; JROTC is a very helpful program for that. Discipline is enforced in JROTC, which discipline isn’t just important in a job but also in daily life.
Implementing plan of care, evaluate outcomes and help patient reach their goals, according to their plan of care. There are many things I can’t do right now as an LPN, such as IV push, teaching, assessments, etc. but once I become an RN my goal will be accomplished. As of now my goal is to pass all my classes and understand the information provided to me and applied them in the lab, clinical and everywhere else it seems to be needed. Once I finish the RN program and pass my board, my goal is to work with geriatric patient and move on to management also to continue with my
My chosen degree program at Kaplan University is a bachelor’s in health science. I chose this degree program because I am an aspiring physician assistant(PA). I chose this field of study because I have always been inspired to provide service to my community. My mother was a police officer and my father worked as an EMT. I did not choose their specific fields; however, I chose something that I knew fit me.
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.
Clinical medicine and science are inherently inseparable entities. Scientific advances and discoveries will perpetually influence any career in the medical profession. This was an idea I learned early on during my undergraduate education. However, my own interest in science spans further than using it as a means to an end. The process of developing theories and conducting experiments enthralls me.
