...I would love to be a medical assistant. There are two areas in medical assisting. One area is clinical medical assisting and the other area is administrative medical assisting. If I were a clinical assistant, I would be interacting more with the patients. I would be greeting the patients, taking vital signs, preparing the patient, carrying out tests or procedures, and assisting the doctor. This would require me to be accurate when charting. I can, also, work on the administrative front. This would include secretarial duties. If this was my occupation, my tasks would include patient records, insurance and billing, and answering the phone. In dealing with insurance billing, I would need to be familiar with medical billing and coding. In order...

...As I gained experience in the teaching and medical field, I became acutely aware of the overlap between the field of teaching and the field of medicine – an overlap that is often overlooked. During my sophomore year of college, I was working as a weekend school teacher for my community. I enjoy teaching for the student-teacher interaction and because teaching runs in my family. However, at the same time I was working as a medical assistant at a pediatric office that served the underserved because I wanted to become a physician assistant (PA) and the hours would help me get there. Becoming a physician assistant excites me not only because of my interest in anatomy and medical diagnosis, but also for the experiences in the different...

...obliged to embark on their own journey of personal development to earn the title leader (Whitmore 2012). The need for governance has mainly increased the pressures on organisations to have aspiring leaders with the skills needed for their fields of interest. This is supported by The Open University (on-line 2012) when it is suggested that clinical leadership is essential for service redesign, quality, innovation, productivity and prevention. It is recognised that in order to facilitate whole system approach in today’s National Health Service (NHS), leaders need to understand not only the people and culture they are trying to change, but also their own personality traits and how these may affect the process (Judge and Bono 2000, 754). In this regard a personal based analysis will be conducted, realising how far I have already gone concerning the developmental processes. I shall conduct a critical reflection (Gibbs 1988) of a personal leadership archaeology found in Appendix One. To facilitate the learning demonstrated two tools have been used; a full Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment has been completed, which allows a level of understanding by analysing individuals’ preferences as they make up a personality. Secondly the Belbin team role self perception inventory (BTRSPI) has been completed by both self and observer assessments used to consider my role within the team. The completion of these tools, and my personal archaeology will allow this assignment to...

Most teachers try to suppress these incidences because of the unpleasant feelings they evoke. Fifty teachers participated in the study. A three-stage coding process derived from grounded theory was utilized. A taxonomy of critical incidents by means of the ATLAS.ti 5.0 revealed a multifaceted model of ethical dilemmas, among them clashing with rules, standards, or norms in school, as well as a multitude of derived responses. The results encourage the development of educational programmes based on teachers’ critical incidents. Ó 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Thesis Examination Committee: . 2 M d Johnson, 111, D.P.A. ,G!krMb. %.&I;-; Patricia A. Stokowski, Ph. D Interim Dean, Graduate College Date: March 4,2009 ABSTRACT The humanities have always been under attack in the higher education of the United States of America. Corporate culture of the university requires the most money distributed towards research and specialization, while making employability of the graduates the main goal of education. With two thirds of all majors being in business and finance, humanities don’t seem to play a big role in higher education overall. This work makes an attempt in defense of liberal arts education to our students, and the importance of teaching the subjects like English, Literature and Philosophy independent of a student’s major concentration. Even in our age of specialized and corporatized education, these courses are of great importance. These subjects can help...

Discovering Your Authentic Leadership COPYRIGHT © 2007 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. by Bill George, Peter Sims, Andrew N. McLean, and Diana Mayer During the past 50 years, leadership scholars have conducted more than 1,000 studies in an attempt to determine the definitive styles, characteristics, or personality traits of great leaders. None of these studies has produced a clear profile of the ideal leader. Thank goodness. If scholars had produced a cookie-cutter leadership style, individuals would be forever trying to imitate it. They would make themselves into personae, not people, and others would see through them immediately. No one can be authentic by trying to imitate someone else. You can learn from others’ experiences, but there is no way you can be successful when you are trying to be like them. People trust you when you are genuine and authentic, not a replica of someone else.

...Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience our campus for yourself. Sincerely, Glenn D.

The purpose of this study was to explore, appreciate, and describe their experiences using a phenomenological methodology. Narratives were collected from seven participants who have a parent diagnosed with PD and analyzed according to Colaizzi’s (1978) phenomenological data analysis method. Seven thematic clusters were identified and an exhaustive description is presented to summarize the essence of their lived experience. The study indicates a strong sense of essential positivism from the participants’ stories, and overall, it seems PD has brought some degree of biological, psychological, socially, and/or spiritual meaning to their lives that they may not have otherwise noticed or experienced.

...CHAPTER -01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study In a developing country like Bangladesh, the banking system as a whole has a vital role to play in the progress of economic development. The number of local commercial banks and foreign banks is increasing day by day.

The core business of a bank is providing various services (collecting deposits, lending money, foreign exchange services etc.) directly to the customers. All the banks are now very much concern for providing better services to survive in the competitive environment. In this report I will explore how effectively MTBL is providing the Recruitment & Selection Process. In this report, I will identify Employer’s expectations about Mutual Trust Banks’ services and the services they actually receive from the bank. I will also find out whether there is any service gap and will recommend for minimizing the gap to enhance its service quality.
