...Why an obstetrician/gynecologists? Why? The reason one would like to become an obstetrician/gynecologists is because one has had experience in that line of work already and loved it. Over the summer of 2015 one had the chance to work and have a mentor that could guide you through every procedure they took with a patient at Pregnancy Aids Center. Once being there and learning new topics each day, gave you a real life experience on what you could be doing someday. On whom you could be 10 years from now. At Pregnancy Aids Center you were actually dealing with real life people, real life women, pregnant women walking in and out of the clinic. Not only did one work as an MA Trainee and learn basic tasks such as sterilizing a room or translating...

...of HPV have been found, and about 30 of these types are spread from person to person through sexual contact. There are more than 100 types of HPV, some types of HPV cause genital warts, while others cause cancer of the cervix. Two vaccines are available that can protect against some of these HPV types (The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2010). HPV is a very common virus. Some research suggests that at least three out of four people who have sex will be diagnosed with a genital HPV infection at some time during their lives. HPV is primarily spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, but sexual intercourse is not required for infection to occur. HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact. Sexual contact with an infected partner, regardless of the sex of the partner, is the most common way the virus is spread. Like many other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), there often are no signs or symptoms of genital HPV infection. The infected person often is not aware that he or she has been infected (The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2010).

Being debt free and dependent on inner city residents, the board of trustees authorized PMH to expand operations by adding an ambulatory facility in the downtown area ten blocks north of the hospital. Being open for 11 months now, Puce Health Clinic (PHC) has seen success by becoming self sufficient, increasing cliental, reducing bad debts by 2 % and minimizing the increase in their expenses. Sherri Worth, Assistant Administrator of PMH, has recognized a potential threat that could hurt their facility. Medcenter, a possible competitor, has been proposing to develop their own facility overlapping in service areas with PHC. This threat has the potential to take a third of PHC’s northern portion of personal illness patients and also 40% of potential personal illness patients in this area will go to the new location. After speaking to her boss Roger Mahon, the administrator of the hospital, Worth has been tasked to draft up a concise analysis of PHC’s position. As third party consultants, we are now tasked with providing...

...treasure thing I’ve learnt during the year I stayed in the US besides medical professionals: there are still too much to learn from American medical service. It’s truly enjoyable for American patients visit clinic. They may fully communicate with the friendly and skilled experts. The root of the gap Does it have anything to do with the population? Not exactly. Data from the World Bank in 2010 showed that there were 1.5 practicing doctors among every 1,000 Chinese, and this number was 2.4 among 1,000 Americans. The difference between both countries is not big, which is of course small as well in the gynecologists and obstetricians. There are 1.3 billion people in China. Statistics from Chinese Medical Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2008 showed that there were 190,000 gynecologists in China, that is to say, every 6,842 people share one gynecologist. This proportion is equivalent to that of...

...Ob-Gyn stands for Obstetrician and Gynecologist. The obstetrician side deals mainly with the baby and a gynecologist works with women and their reproductive systems. An Ob-Gyn is someone that provides medical treatment for women, diagnose and prevent diseases for women, treat women’s reproductive systems, provide treatment and care for pregnant women, provide education on nutrition and proper care of the body during pregnancy, monitor the growth of the baby to make sure it is healthy, and deliver the babies. This was in the middle of the career choices that NCC said. I still chose health sciences because I have always wanted to be a doctor. More than likely an Ob-Gyn will be working in their own private office. Although there are plenty that work in hospitals and clinics with other doctors. Ob-Gyns are always working in sterile conditions because it ensures safety for the doctor, the women, and the baby. They are expected to wear protective clothing at all times such as: gloves, masks, and gowns. Ob-Gyns can usually run on their own schedule with some exceptions; they can decide when they work although complications can occur with the mother and baby before and during labor that the Ob- Gyn can not control. An Ob-Gyn can expect to work nights and weekends....

...level paragraph should be 5to 8 sentences in length. The first paragraph of your paper is the introduction, and should include both an attention grabber and your thesis statement. Papers written in the APA style must document sources in the body of the paper. When applying direct quotes, try to use the sandwich technique. Introduce the author or the text, and then write out the quote in quotation marks, followed by an explanation or analysis in your own words of what the quote means to your research. Never begin or end a paragraph with a quote without introduction and explanation. Here is an example: According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2009), “Each year, about 1.3 million women in the United States have an abortion to end a pregnancy” (p. 4). Such a high number suggests that abortion is becoming more common place in the United States. You want to make sure that YOUR voice is the dominate one in your work – use the sources to back up your assertions. Your final paragraph is your conclusion. Use this paragraph to restate your main points and your thesis statement. I also suggest using the conclusion to either relate back to your attention grabber in your introduction or to point to a greater significance within your chosen topic. References This page, like the others, has the running head and page number in the upper-right hand corner. Sources should be alphabetized by the author's last name (or, for sources without authors, by the first letter...

...CASE #3: PMH GYNECOLOGY MAR 6805 Prof. Seaton Spring 2011 Perpetual Mercy Hospital (PMH) has succeeded in becoming one of the most financially independent hospitals of the “six general hospitals in the city and twenty in the county”. The hospital is publicly known for its excellence, yet PMH has become highly dependent on “inner-city residents…higher median age and higher incidence of Medicare coverage”. Their board of trustees concluded that an ambulatory facility in the downtown was needed based on their study. Incorporating the Downtown Health Clinic would be PMH’s service line strategy, which will assist in the following objectives: (1) expansion by hospital referrals, (2) higher privately insured patients referral, (3) developing a relationship with the business community and accommodating to employers’ specific health needs, and (4) becoming self-supportive three years after opening. According to the reports from May 1999 through March 2000, DHC was clearly meeting its’ objectives. Rather than analyzing the qualitative and quantitative perspectives of the Gynecology department of the clinic, the following analysis will explore how technology and social media can positively affect the clinic, particularly in expediting the scheduling of patient appointments. Women typically seek accessibility and convenience when choosing doctors or facilities to perform obstetrical/gynecological care. Incorporating technologically driven tactics to facilitate the working...

...extracurricular activity is a team event. This year will be my fourth year being in it. I figured out that this event is much more than the competition. From the past three years, I learned that it takes practice to improve public speaking. When I first started I was nervous to speak in front of the judges. Last year, I was more confident in giving my part of the presentation and answering questions from the judges. Public speaking is something that I can use in the future and always improve on. Joining HOSA has greatly influenced my educations plans. I always want to become a doctor, until I was faced with reality. By becoming involved in HOSA I realized that getting into medical school would be difficult. I plan on become obstetrician and gynecologist or OB/GYN. HOSA allowed me to think of a different idea that could lead me to the same route. I'm deciding on becoming an OB nurse and then continuing on to medical school. This process enables me to experience the branch of medicine that I'm interested in. After joining HOSA, I became more motivated in my education plans and realized that I have been hungry for success my entire life. ...

...eight-week pregnant woman, Jane, came into her second doctor’s appointment thrilled to hear her baby’s heartbeat for the very first time. Although she had been experiencing excruciating pain for a couple of weeks now, she avoided it and paid no attention to the issue. As she laid on the examination table, she held her husband’s hand who had a huge smile on his face too. The ultrasound technician soon walks into the exam room and began preparing Jane by applying the gel on the transducer and her abdomen. The technician searches continuously, but soon grew a concerned face, which then worried Jane. After the ultrasound technician had not found a heartbeat, a confirmation from an Obstetrician-Gynecologist...

...I have always had a fear of failure. I would do just enough to make it by without putting in too much effort. Basically, I was always just going through the motions of life without really living. Then last year God took me on a journey, one that would change my whole outlook on life. On May 11, 2015, I had gastric bypass surgery. I had always been overweight and I have always struggled trying to lose the weight. After surgery I was excited to start becoming healthier. Then in July I was sent to a gynecologist for excessive menstrual bleeding. He ordered an ultrasound and it showed that I had uterine fibroids, one was about the size of a tennis ball. He said that I needed to have a hysterectomy. Needless to say as a woman who has always suffered from extremely bad cycles I was ecstatic! I had that surgery in August and September 10th, I went to my...

...Jane Bookout KINE 4331 Clinical Question Since the 1970’s, obesity in America has steadily been on the rise with a numerous amount of speculations as to what the cause could be. Not only are the adults suffering with this “obesity epidemic”, children are also quickly becoming victims of this deadly trend. Prevention has been a vital key at young ages to help children understand the importance of maintaining a healthy diet that could save them thousands of dollars, and more importantly their lives. “Many factors have been suggested as causes of the “obesity epidemic” among children- reduced physical education at school, increased homework loads, campus vending machines, television, larger portions sizes, fast-food restaurants, video games, and countless others.” (Sturm, Roland. 2005) However, recent findings also imply that obesity characteristics could start as early as the infant age in correlation with breastfeeding. I chose this topic because as a woman I know that I would want the best for my children and eventually I will reach that time when I make the decision on how to raise them, including what type of foods I put into their bodies. A healthy lifestyle starts with the parents and how they portray to their children the importance as well as how to continuously stay in that mindset when making decisions. Not many think to go back as far as breastfeeding, and that’s when I took it upon myself to try and fully understand how obesity begins beginning at that stage...

...Running head: HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS 1 HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS 2 In today’s healthcare system, we have made huge discoveries on viruses that cause illness and can contribute to cancer. One of them is a virus that attacks the cervix of young woman, and sometimes mouth and throat, Human Papillomavirus, or HPV (“Genital HPV infection,” 2009). This virus is transmitted through sexual activity, sometimes unknowingly. HPV is carried by men, but there is no test for men to determine if a male has it to prevent them from spreading it (“Genital HPV infection,” 2009). It’s usually caught when woman have their yearly Pap smear exams; the cells of the cervix are tested for abnormalities. “About 8 out of 10 woman will become infected with HPV in their lifetime” states Hpv.com. “In the United States 30 woman are diagnosed with Cervical Cancer every day” (“Get the facts,” 2011). This virus has over a hundred different strands that may contribute to different diseases (“HPV,” 2011). Although most cause no harm, there are 2 classifications of the virus that do cause disease. The “low-risk” strands are the number one cause for Genital Warts, and the “high-risk” initiate Cervical Cancer (“Genital HPV infection,” 2009). The CDC states that HPV, if undetected and untreated can contribute to cancers of the throat, penis, head and anus as well. It is possible to have this virus and display no signs and symptoms. This is...
