Analytic Assessment Skills

I realized that I belong at George Washington University once I discovered the astonishing opportunities lying within and around the campus. When I learned that this university could fulfill my dream of studying World Health and was located blocks away from the institutions I always envisioned myself working for, I was instantly captivated. By excelling at GWU, I will have the opportunity to work hand in hand with organizations like the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development through internship, research fellowship, and most importantly through daily interaction that only GWU can facilitate for its students. By being a member of a community where national leaders and global guests convene to share personal experiences, I will be inspired to follow in their footsteps.

This last summer, I spent my time participating in the city of Temecula’s Future Physician Leaders Program (FPL). Future Physician Leaders is a program operating in partnership with the University of California Riverside School of Medicine and Temecula Valley Hospital. FPL is a program dedicated to educating the college and high school students of Riverside County who aspire to enter the medical field. A component of this program includes a Community Health Project (CHP); the students divide into teams and attack a meaningful issue that which we can help resolve or positively impact change in our community. My team agreed that access to healthcare was a major issue. Throughout all of Riverside County there are individuals who possess issues with their insurance,

In the United States (U.S.), health disparities are reported as a continuous focus area to resolve minorities health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014). The Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHOH) people is considered an underserved study minority population who experience great health disparities (Barnett & Franks, 2002; Pick, 2013). In the area of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), health disparities affect the US people and efforts are being made eliminate CVD health disparities, especially in the DHOH communities of America (Mckee, Mckee, Winters, Sutter, & Pearson, 2014; Pick, 2013). The underlining causes of health disparities as it relates to CVD prevention in the DHOH population are the lack of community-based

I was selected to participate in a new service-learning program called Health Coaches, at the University of Arkansas, at the beginning of my sophomore year. This program has been pivotal during my undergraduate career. The Health Coach program comes from a partnership between Washington Regional Medical Center and the University. The program’s purpose is for undergraduate pre-health professions students to gain practical and clinical knowledge through hands-on learning while helping the surrounding community. As a health coach, our task is to be a bridge between high-risk patients and the healthcare system. We are assigned a patient that we follow as long as the patient needs our help. We visit the patient in their own home and encourage them

At the age of 14, my family and I moved left the comforts of Los Angeles, California to adventurous and unknown Nicaragua. Why Nicaragua? My parents are proud Nicaraguans and moved to the United States for a better life before my birth. I had previously visited the raw and untainted country but I was now there for the long run. I was able to attend an international and American accredited high school. I eventually returned to the United States to finish my bachelor’s degree. During my life altering time in Nicaragua I learned three life lessons that up to this moment has assisted my professional career.

A nurse aide is just one of the many positions within a nursing home setting. We are responsible for aiding the nurses and doctors and helping the residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, walking, etc. This paper will address this specific health care setting and the ways these sociological perspectives are witnessed on an everyday basis.

A public health information officer is the official spokesperson and communications coordinators governmental organizations, such as city councils, school district offices and state health departments. They do not have marketing or public relations responsibilities, but instead provide information to the media and public as dictated by laws and standards.

Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. It is the unique role of a nurse to care for individuals sick or well, in hospital or at home. For many of us when we think of nursing and nurses, our thoughts are diverted to a hospital setting. However, the unique function of a nurse goes beyond the walls of hospital. Primary care nursing therefore, is a shift from the narrow perspectives of hospital based care with its treatment and cure of already established disease; to the promotion

I feel this speaker covered more than just one field or subject, all of which I really did not have much background knowledge on. I was only familiar with epidemiology because one of my good friends had planned to major in it, which I knew was the study of diseases; other than that I didn’t know the actual meaning of public health, I knew it related to health but I didn’t know what is exactly was. Prior to the speaker, any career of this type has never really caught my interest in any way; I have no interest in public health, more so in medical care. Pamela had mentioned that she had graduated from our very own Springfield college; she did not include her previous job but she currently works at Springfield College as the assistant professor

Health care promotion is considered as the responsibility of every nurse. In order to promote health care practices nurses need to understand clearly the term “Health Promotion”. While conducting analysis it is identified that it is essential for nurses to significantly recognise that health promotion is a broader concept. For the particular purpose, it is necessary for nurses to develop distinctive skills and capabilities to reduce health care associated risks and optimise the productivity while effectively lowering the total costs of health related activities. Health promotion is basically a collection of practices through which nurses should motivate individuals for healthy living and better lifestyle management. The main aim of this paper

Tracking of the health promotion implementation and evaluating its effectiveness is critical for the public health nurse. Assessing the data from the population that was affected with the norovirus outbreak and investigating whether the health promotion practices lessened the changes or prevented others in the communities from getting sick would mean that the goal and mission was met. Overtime, evaluation of the statistics could inform the public health nurse

Health promotion is very important accept in the world, hence the government has to put in place health promotion programs designed to inform the public about health risks and method to prevent or reduce them. Primary, secondary and tertiary health institutions should be equipped with human and material resources for efficient and effective health care delivery. These facilities should be well founded so as to be able to discharge their duties effectively.

From the Freirean perspective, however, the preparation of health promoters should have two aims: firstly, to conscientise them so that they can change from being moral guardians to cultural change agents because moral guardianship in health workers acts as a barrier to health promotion; and secondly, to equip them with skills necessary to facilitate conscientisation in their clients. This will have implications for curriculum, teaching and learning methods, and clinical setting organisation.The health care training curriculum in Malawi is subsumed by medicine and operates under the influence of the biomedical model constructed within the positivist paradigm (see also McCall 1996; Roberts 2000). The biomedical model

Engaging people in health development activities can be done through volunteering or community based activities. The lady health workers initiative in Pakistan and community based breastfeeding in Bangladesh, are examples of using of voluntary activities of people in health systems.
