...Michaiela Williams English 10 Ms. Golden 16 May 2012 Sports Medicine Physician When becoming a Sports Medicine Physician, a person has certain qualifications and opportunities that he/she needs and can receive. The educational programs that he or she must have to endure are very hard but eventually pay off in the end. There is also the on-going research about how the job might turn out or the outlook. However the roles and responsibilities that this job takes in are a great deal and weight alone. In this job, everyone has to be very careful of the patient and how they treat the patient, otherwise, the physician will probably lose their job. When applying for this job one needs to know the job description, the qualifications needed, and the job’s future outlook. First, a person needs to know how the job works. As a Sports Medicine Physician a person is required to diagnose athletes suffering from injuries on the field and off the field (Sports Medicine Doctor: Job Duties, Career Outlook and Educational Requirements).

...The Future of Nursing The Institute of Medicine and the Impact on Nursing Rachel E Boyd Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V Professional Dynamics April 19, 2015 The Institute of Medicine and the Impact on Nursing The Institute of Medicine is setting the standard high for nursing and with good reason. Our healthcare system is changing and we need to be well versed and prepared for these changes. Nursing is changing politically and the way healthcare is being delivered is transitioning also. The Institute of Medicine has made a very bold statement and we in the nursing field need to make an effort to fulfill these goals set for us. These goals are set up for nurses’ best interest and giving the patients the best possible care. Better patient care is what the Institute of Medicine seems to aiming at improving. This should be the mission for all parties included when it comes to transforming the healthcare system as a whole. This will not be an easy task for the Institute of Medicine but is attainable especially with compliance from the healthcare industry. Nursing Education The Institute of Medicine is having a major impact on the nursing field and setting the educational requirements high especially for future nurses coming into this field. The expectation is for eighty percent of nurses to have a bachelor’s degree by 2020. The goals set by the Institute of Medicine is understandable and the push is very necessary.

...changing. In the paragraphs to follow this paper will discuss how the IOM report has impacted the field of nursing and how registered nurses (RNs) will be acquiring higher more specialized education, ascending into leadership, and transform their practice. Impact on Education The acquisition of a nursing license in the United States is unique in the fact that there are currently several pathways to licensure. A person wishing to practice nursing may complete a hospital diploma program, a community college associate degree in nursing (ADN), attend a four-year college for a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) or even complete a bridge program in which the individual already possesses a baccalaureate degree in another field of study learns nursing practice (Creasia & Friberg, 2011, p. 25). The report from the institute of medicine (IOM) recognizes these varied pathways to nursing as a benefit as well as a hindrance to the field (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 166). The benefit to the field is availability of nurses due to the attractive cost of education at the diploma and community college level versus the more expensive four year college route (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 168). The barrier of this pathway; however, has been discussed in the IOM report. According to research, 80 percent of the time ADN graduates do not continue their education onto the BSN level (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 186). The push toward this continuation of education comes from studies...

...in the Medical Field Plastics are polymers with a high molecular mass and often incorporate other materials to increase strength and function as well as lower production cost. The Greek work “plastikos” is the root word for the word plastic as we know it. The meaning is “capable of being molded or shaped”. The use of plastics in the medical field isn’t as high as it is thought to be. Plastics have several uses in and out of the hospital. One use of plastic is on a MRI machine. A MRI is basically a giant magnet with the ability to attract a metal object within range. Any metal around the MRI machine could become airborne and be potentially dangerous should they fly towards the machine when magnetized. All the equipment placed around the MRI machine is made out of plastic, even the tools used to install the machine are made out of plastic to prevent interaction with the magnet. Because of the high potential of metals becoming attracted to the MRI magnet, any metal placed inside the body for transplant or as plates and screws are non-ferrous metals. ("Plastics In Medicine." ) Plastic has also contributed to the reduction of medical costs, infectious disease and pain management. The United States is the leader in the world on keeping the rate of cross-staph infection own because of the wide use of plastic in the medical industry. Plastic is used as sterile plastic packaging and plastic medical disposables. Plastics are used for so many things in the medical field such as IV bags...

Nowadays, biochemistry has become the root for understanding all biological processes. It has provided widely explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, animals and plants. As a student, we should study it because it give to us many kind of knowledge on understanding the biological processes which are happen around us in every single minutes in our life. Since biochemistry is very important, we must study it to know how this biochemistry contributed for the sustainable of tomorrow in the main field of medicine, agriculture and industry. Biochemistry is applied in many health field such as dentistry, medicine and veterinary medicine. For example, in the field of medicine, biochemistry have contribute in the clinical study to maintain and to give a better and healthy life to the population of human all around the world. This have been done by the scientist on how they use biochemistry to diagnose and control the spreading of diseases, product a new drug and improve the existing antibiotics, and chemotherapy agents. In food science industry, biochemists have done a research on determining the chemical composition of food, develop the abundant and inexpensive sources of nutritious foods, producing the method on how to extract the nutrients from the waste product of food and finding the ways to prolong the shelf life...

...the IOM Report, Nursing a Change for the Future The health care field is always growing and changing. With this advancement in technologies, it is important for the members of the professional health care field to grow with it. According to Robert Wood Johnson (2010), “With more than 3 million members, the nursing profession is the largest segment of the nation’s health care workforce” (Institute of Medicine 2010 pg1). A pathway needs to be cleared so that nurses can play an instrumental role in the improvement of the health care system. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impact of the IOM (Institute of Medicine) report on nursing education, the impact of the IOM report on nursing practice, and the impact of the IOM report on the nurse’s role as a leader in the future of nursing care. The Impact of the IOM Report on Nursing Education There are many different educational paths one can choose when becoming a registered nurse (RN). These include the bachelors of Science (BSN), the associate’s degree (ADN), and the diploma in nursing. All three pathways are required to take National Council of State Board of Nursing (NCSBN). This exam measures competency for an entry level RN to begin practice. According to Robert Wood Johnson (2010), “Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved educational system that promotes seamless academic progression” (Institute of Medicine 2010, pg.164). As our patient population in the community and...

...Although various volunteering experiences provided me with insights into the different aspects of the medical field – from the impact of health insurance on healthcare to the vital role of nurses – volunteering in the “Critical Care Unit” at Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center for the past two years has been by far my most challenging, yet rewarding experience in a hospital. Patients in this ward often are often severely injured or battling life threatening diseases. I had been in the department for only two months when I experienced the loss of a patient for the first time. A patient who was placed on life support was about to be taken off the ventilator. A priest was called to read the final rights and there was muffled crying from the family of the patient. Finally, the machine was turned off and I watched the despondency in the staff as his body was covered and transported away. It was then that I began to reflect on the immense responsibility I would be undertaking as a physician comforting both patients and their families in some of the most trying and vulnerable times in their lives. Nevertheless, the integrity and kindness with which the doctor and nurses comforted the family affirmed for me the ability of medicine to impact people’s lives...

This will open doors to an even greater innovation on the nursing education. In 2008, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) started an initiative in order to change for the better the future of nursing education and the whole nursing profession as well. The RWJF purpose is to make a report and give recommendations that will help the nursing profession. One those recommendations says that nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training (Institute of Medicine, 2010). This is recommendations is very essential in order to improve the nursing profession and education, being a good nurse starts by having a good foundation in nursing school. If a nurse gets a good education, he or she will be competent enough to assess any situation that will come his or her way. He or she will be able to identify any problems and give the necessary needs of the patients because he or she can identify what is needed to be done in order to give the best and proper nursing care to every patient. Understanding every anatomy and physiology of the human body, memorizing every medication and action of each drug, and how to properly give the right care for every each patient suffering from different disease.

Vets are well-versed in the science of animal health, and they promote public health by identifying and preventing diseases, which some can be passed to humans as well. The variety of animals that a veterinarian will treat, and the animal’s inability to communicate symptoms, make the veterinarian profession more challenging than the practice of human medicine. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans” (Herriot, 233).

...powerful document, binding medical practitioners to a certain set of morals they must adhere to when assisting their patients on matters of life and death. With so much at stake, nothing should come between a doctor and his responsibility to his patient as defined by this document - in theory. However, there is always one uncertainty that tarnishes this idealistic dedication of the physician: money. The effects of financial incentive on a doctor and on the medical field in general have been called into question in recent years. It can be seen, through various court cases and controlled investigation, that financial incentive has a significant effect on the practices and actions of not only doctors, but anyone who has the potential to advance the medical field. While it may be argued that financial incentive is a driving force in the progress of medicine, there is clear evidence that the continued monetization of the medical industry is a hindrance to treatment and a violation of a fundamental contract that people of medicine hold with those that they are responsible for. The case of Henrietta Lacks is a stark example of the violation of this fundamental contract. An impoverished black woman who lived in the time of segregation and racism, she contracted cervical cancer and received treatment from Johns Hopkins hospital, where a sample of her cancer cells were sent to Dr. George Gey for research without her express permission. While this at first may not seem like a momentous event...
