Why are you interested in participating in this program? My interest to participate in the summer immersion program comes from the passion that I have for caring for the vulnerable populations and my inheriting love for helping others. From the beginning of my nursing education, providing healthcare to vulnerable populations in different settings healthcare has always been important to me. I believe access to quality healthcare is a right that every person should have. My belief of healthcare for everyone has been my motivation for pursuing a career as a nurse practitioner (NP). I would like the opportunity to fulfill healthcare needs in people who do not have access to healthcare in low in come communities and countries by providing them …show more content…
A strong work ethic is important in serving vulnerable populations because you must work above and beyond what you would need to do in an average primary care office. This is equally important when serving with Emory students and faculty to ensure I am doing my part to accomplish our goal which provides care to patients that are truly in need. Being a team player is another strength I will bring to an immersion. It is important to be able to collaborate with the other students and faculty to be able to successfully assess, diagnose, and treat the patients at a high level. Last, my encouraging and inspiring personality is an additional strength I will bring. An encouraging and inspiring spirit is just as important and physical care to an immersion trip. It is necessary to have someone to uplift those around them and remind everyone to continue to push toward the goal and never give up hope in spite of adversity. Having a strong work ethic, being a team player, and an encouraging spirit is three strengths I will contribute to the team and the populations that we intend to serve. I believe all three of those strengths are crucial to not only serving the patients but the group of students and faculty I will traveling and working
“A good recipe for an FTO would be to mix portions of Sheriff Buford Pusser from “Walking Tall,” Sherlock Holmes, and Officer Pete Malloy from “Adam-12.” It would then tell you to bake them together and frost them with a glaze of the patient bemusement and gentle common sense of Andy Griffith’s Sheriff Andy Taylor” (Scoville, 2005, para. 2).
Throughout high school I have been involved in numerous academic programs tat opened many opportunities for me.
The University of Alabama (Birmingham) Summer Health Professions Education Program will provide me with the necessary tools to help me achieve my goals, while also furthering my interests. I am eager to not only learn more about the healthcare field, but to also receive first-hand instruction and exposure through lectures, shadowing, career development activities, simulated patient care experiences, workshops, and so much more. I wholeheartedly believe that despite the blatant disadvantages and underrepresentation minorities face, hard work, perseverance, and determination will ensure
This program evaluation article by Duffy, Barry, Curry, Darragh, and Lees, reviews an initiative to improve the working relationship between Northern Ireland’s adult mental health services, and child protection services by reviewing a program called “The Champions Initiative” (Duffy, Barry, Darragh, & Lees, 2010). This was developed to facilitate a joint working environment to improve services and protection for children whose parent(s) may have mental health issues (Duffy et al., 2010). The Champions Initiative appointed a “champion” from each team of child protection workers, and mental health services, and their responsibility was to provide information, promote a joint working environment, and identify obstacles which would hinder good cooperation between the two teams (Duffy et al., 2010). The program evaluation assessed the levels of experience, training, confidence and awareness of the Champions, followed up with them in six months to assess the impact and the effectiveness of the program, and offered recommendations to
If you say you have a policy in place or a program set up, it sounds like you have your stuff together. I think that’s what has been done throughout society; they want you to think they have everything figured out and under control. Of course, police officers cannot control everything that goes on in the world, and people can’t get their program that’s been set up to take control. These programs may be considered “ineffective” because it’s not helping everyone, but there may be a small percentage that is being helped that’s why they continue to go forward with the programs or policies.
To ensure that my program evaluation is objective, credible and fair I would employ internal and external counselors or advisors as well as align my program evaluation with the standards and practices of the professional body of evaluators. These “advisors “may or may not include the program stakeholders, but would not negate the formal process of collaborating with key stakeholders. Rather, the purpose of my advisor team is to see and hear things I missed.
Coming from a family that struggles financially, my parents were frequently absent for work, and often left me in charge to take care of my sister and brother. From my siblings’ birth in January 2006 and May 2008 respectively, I was tasked with feeding, teaching, and caring for them while my parents were working, on top of managing my own schoolwork. However, I am fulfilled by the sense of gratitude I receive when I began caring for those who could not care for themselves. In addition to teaching me patience, this also impels me towards a nursing career where I can fully utilize my strengths. Furthermore, I gained exposure in healthcare through my internship at Chapa-De as a dental assistant that began in early November 2016. By working clinically for over 12 hours a week, I gain invaluable exposure and experience by working with a variety of patients each day. The skills I develop, such as time management, infection control, and patient comfort are beneficial tools I will wield into my nursing education and career. Although my internship is focused on the dental aspect of healthcare, I desire to transfer my skills and experience into nursing because of the higher variety and more holistic aspects of patient care that enthralls me and my neverending curiosity. Nonetheless, the opportunity to learn each day in this field of healthcare is fascinating, and only further motivates me
As a recipient of this scholarship, I would like to contribute to the mission of the NHSC by providing an environment where patients feel that they are welcomed, a priority, and receiving high quality healthcare. This is important because the large patient demands found in clinics in underserved areas create an environment where patients receive less face-to-face time with their doctors, provided they get seen at all. Because I have the work ethic and compassion to make a difference in underserved areas, I believe that I would be a helpful addition to any clinic. Bringing caring healthcare professionals into communities will allow more patients to receive quality care as well as impact these areas by allowing everyone to live healthier, more
It was not until my senior high school year when I had my first exposure to Medicine. I joined the Better Life Institute, a volunteer group that organizes a weekly medical convoys to provide medical service for underprivileged villages in Egypt, where I regularly attended the clinics and also assisted with the logistics and administrative duties. I also became a member of a team that supports and arranges home visits to cancer patients. This was an eye opening experience that made me realized the impact of emotional and spiritual well-being on patients’ prognosis, and I discovered how the simplest of well-chosen words can provide a priceless comfort to a suffering patient. This experience motivated me beyond any expectation and I realized there was no better way for me to pursue science and achieve satisfaction than through Medicine.
Purpose: To provide 554th Engineer Battallion with direction and guidance to assist in executing The Total Army Sponsorship Program and its priciples of service, support, functions and standards.
Metro West Learning Academy has been a positive experience for me. It has benefited me in many ways. Metro has helped me handle stress by alleviating it. At first I didn’t want to come to Metro. I was worried about leaving all of my friends but I made some here. And the teachers here have also made it better because of how individualized the program is.
My dream job is to be a traveling nurse and so participating in this trip would be one of my most memorable experiences for not only college, but my life as well. In my Junior year of high school I traveled to Nicaragua as an Orthopedic Surgical Mission trip. While there, the people I met and took care of, as well as the trip as a whole has made an impact on who I am today. I never imagined the trip to Nicaragua would have impacted my life the way it did, but I am grateful it did. An aspect of my personal life that sets me aside from other applicants is that I was diagnosed with type one diabetes at age fifteen. It was brought to my attention during the presentation that many juveniles in the country as well as adults have diabetes so I would
I want to involve in the Nurse Corps because I have a firsthand experience how minorities struggle daily to realize their dreams. For instance, I do not have a health insurance because I cannot afford it. Individuals like me are living in fate of almighty god. One the many challenges in underserved population
Hospitals are a great way for a medical student to serve the community as well as gain valuable experience in their future field. For this reason, I have spent around forty hours from the end of the summer up until now volunteering at HonorHealth hospital. I volunteered as a transporter, what this means is that I move equipment, medical documents and lab samples around the hospital. I also help discharge patients by pushing them in a wheelchair to their car. Through this experience I was able to make life easier on people who were vulnerable and trying to recover as well as the busy staff member who treated them. I had many interactions with people and by from this I have a better understanding of impact my service had. I will be discussing: How psychology can explain social interaction, how outside factors can influence a person 's sense of self, how behaviors and situations can help you understand a person, the importance of communication as well as focus, and the environment shapes the organization.
“There are approximately forty nine million children and youth, ages 6-17 living in the U.S.” (“Making the Case” 1). Children need care while they are in the initial stages of growth and development. Whether this care is provided by a mother, father, sibling, or other guardian, a child needs to be loved. When children turn a certain age, the care of the family is added to by caregivers in another institution. While attending school, children are shown care for the duration of the day by teachers, mentors, and other aids. This is a productive time for the children’s development because they are being nurtured in a well rounded, safe environment. This environment provides initial academic
