...Many people will ask you what you want to do with your life, or where you see yourself in 10 years. Problem is I’m not sure where I’ll see myself in 10 years. Would I like to have a career that I love? Sure. Would I like to have a family started and have money to blow? Who wouldn’t?! But I don’t know for sure because the future hasn’t happened yet, hence why they call it the future. I’d like to say that in ten years I’d have a beautiful family, a job I wake up every morning excited for, and enough money to feed a small country. But you can never be too sure. My search for the perfect job began when I was talking to my uncle about this report. I told him I had to pick three careers I was interested in which was hard for me because I’m scatter-brained and at times indecisive. So he helped me narrow it down, and from then on it was a search through hours of Google links and a few dead trees wasted. It took me three whole days to collect 12 sources for my three careers which is hard for someone with my personality type to do. After taking the Keirsey Temperament survey I discovered I’m an INFJ, which is the rarest personality type of all. The name dubbed to my personality type is “The Caregiver”. It states that they are caring and parental towards everyone they love and love organization, yet extremely unfocused and in need of routine (INFJ 1). When I read that I couldn’t help but think that for once, an online quiz was actually right. It also said I was good with people and was...

...One scholarly writing sample that I chose to analyze was "Thinking in Pharmacy Practice: A Study of Community Pharmacists' Clinical Reasoning in Medication Supply Using the Think-Aloud Method" by Hayley Croft, Conor Gilligan, Rohan Rasiah, Tracy Levett-Jones, and Jennifer Schneider. In summary, the article discussed the examination of the thought processes of ten pharmacists when working in a community setting. From the qualitative data that was collected, the researchers derived seven core thinking processes and find these processes essential to emphasize while teaching and in pharmacy practice. The seven core thinking processes were considering prescription in context, retrieving information, identifying medication-related issues, processing...

...To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our nice big house, white picket fence, and dog in the backyard. We also want to be happy. These next few paths are ways I might be able to achieve both. I have many different possible interests when it comes to my future. I hope to attend a four year college, and after graduation attend graduate school. Having gone to small schools my entire life, I prefer a small school. I am looking for a school with a tuition under $30,000, but would not rule out schools that aren’t significantly over my budget. I am open to the thoughts of leaving home, yet I am not sure I would survive on my own. None of preferences are set in stone and I am willing to try and consider new possibilities. When it comes to careers and majors, I have considered becoming...

...Pharmacy students, upon entering their institutions, have to abide by a code of conduct usually higher than other students following a different career path. Students specialising in law, marketing or accounting do not have to maintain the high standard of professionalism that pharmacy students have to demonstrate whilst in school. Students have deemed this set of rules unfair and professionals insist that it has to be maintained in order to fully understand the grasp of pharmacy as a profession. Personally, I understand the need to abide by these rules but also agree with other students that is not necessarily fair. The profession,pharmacy, deals with lives. The three most important aspect of pharmacy are quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and these in turn help to save patients’ lives, to improve their health and to manage chronic diseases while at the same time maximising the comfort of the patient. It is important to demonstrate a degree of professionalism for patients to ensure their lives in our care. This level of competence can only be exhibited upon entering the profession if students are taught right from day one. It improves the chances of perfecting skills that have been taught and instilled from college and therefore of providing better services to the patients. As future pharmacists, pharmacy students have to assume the role and learn to behave in an appropriate manner that is respectful to both the profession and colleagues. A pharmacist or even a pharmacy...

They include the statement of need for proper investigation to identify the problem for taking any action. The second is the advice to medical practitioners to identify their patients’ preferences and dissatisfaction. The student needs to do a wide research on the area. Step 2: Link the Problem with Interventions and Outcomes The student has fairly linked his problem with intervention measures. The intervention measures to the problem are clearly stated and they include; family members inclusion in patient care, increasing nurse-patient contact. However, the student should also add other intervention measures like use of community-based medical services and care of patients’ rights during medication. The mention of desired outcomes is not exploitative and should be expanded. Step 3: Synthesize the Best Evidence The simplified best evidence methods of ensuring medical compliance stated include; setting of alarms as per medication schedule, use of medication that acts for a longer time, training of pharmacists and family members on administering medication especially on missed sessions. The student should consider adding statistical data on the effectiveness of the methods. Step 4: Design a Change in Practice Inclusion of a family member during mentally ill...

...Barriers to Using Evidence-Based Medicine Melanie Ossman Granite State College Professor Philip Wyzik HLTC 600 March 4, 2011 Thesis The Institute of Medicine recommends the use of evidence-based medicine as a primary tool for achieving the aims outlined by their six themes of improvement. Specifically, EBM relates to their aim to make health care more effective: “to provide health care that is effective and efficient.” (Institute of Medicine, 2001) In recent years, evidence-based medicine has gained increasingly broad-based support in health care, but many doctors still aren’t using it. With a lean towards Pharmacy management, I researched the barriers providers and institutions are faced with in successfully incorporating evidence-based medicine and how initiating organizational improvements can help. The research highlights some important considerations to be aware of that gives evidence-based medicine a bad name, the pitfalls to avoid, and some ways providers and institutions are working to overcome them. Introduction This paper begins by giving an overview of evidence-based medicine, what it is, and the benefits to be realized by providers, insurers, and patients. I compared that to what providers were using before EBM. Next, I examine the barriers to successfully incorporating evidence-based medicine, and the negative perceptions that dissuade their use by clinicians. Identified are the disadvantages such as source information bias, ethics considerations...

...The Impact of the Aging Population on the Health Workforce in the United States: Summary of Key Findings March 2006 This study was funded by the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis Bureau of Health Professions Health Resources and Services Administration Prepared by Center for Health Workforce Studies School of Public Health, University at Albany 7 University Place Rensselaer, NY 12144-3458 Impact of the Aging Population on the Health Workforce in the United States The expected growth of the older adult population1 in the U.S. over the next 50 years will have an unprecedented impact on the U.S. health care system, especially in terms of supply of and demand for health care workers. The supply of health care workers may decrease as they age and large numbers retire and/or reduce their working hours. At the same time, older adults consume a disproportionately large share of American health care services, so demand for health services will grow. The aging of the population will also affect the nature of the skills and services the health care workforce must be equipped to provide, and the settings in which this care is provided. The so-called “baby boom” generation (people born between 1946 and 1964) is already having an effect on the health care system and it is expected to grow as the century progresses. The number of Americans age 65 and older (35 million in 2000) will rise by more than 19 million to 54 million by 2020. From 2000 to 2050, the number of...
