Growing up, I encountered many health complications. I got transferred to many kinds of doctors to treat my many illnesses. The frustration of transferring to multiple offices and repeating the process of entering all the patient information and relaying my health problems to the doctors was inevitable. That sparked my interest to work in the healthcare field to become a doctor. However, when I reached college, I learned about careers working behind the scenes, improving the process of care. I was introduced to the health informatics major and learned about all the opportunities awaiting in health care that don’t involve patient care. This field would give me the chance to understand about how medical information is transferred. I will understand how to enhance how medical information is protected and be able to have information be sent to multiple clinics securely so patient care can occur at a faster rate. I am interested in working in a field combining health care and technology. Volunteering as a pharmacy assistant, I realized how huge a role technology played in the clinic. Every patient’s medical profile, insurance, health records, etc are all stored online. Medical providers send information to the pharmacist on the type of medication to fill. The pharmacist can send that information to another pharmacy. The whole process is …show more content…
Because of how small the program is getting to know all my classmates and professors will be easier versus being in a larger program. I am excited to be part of a tight knit community. I can get to know all my classmates and can stay connected with them when working in the field. The mentorship program will give me the opportunity to with a professional working the field. Each professional and professor brings their own experiences and advice to educate us in the program. I will understand exactly what I will be doing as a HIM
The stage 1 of the meaningful use includes thirteen core criteria and ten menu set objectives. The first core criteria is the computerized provider order entry (CPOE). CPOE entails the provider’s use of computer assistance to directly enter medication orders from a computer or mobile device. The use of CPOE and the electronic prescription process is a technology that has been found to be helpful in preventing medication prescribing errors in several ways (Mominah & Househ, 2013). Having an accurate electronic patient medication profile will help prescribers and pharmacists review the medication history easily and consequently alert the pharmacist to communicate with the prescriber in case any unexplained change in the prescribed medication to the patient and then conforming the change with the prescriber. Applying CPOE technology reduces medication errors.
My interest in the HIHIM program comes from my family. My parents, uncles, and aunts are either doctors, pharmacists, engineers, or computer scientists. Throughout my childhood at family gatherings, the dinner conversations of patient care, health care delivery, software, and companies such as Boeing and Microsoft have mesmerized me. I listened intently about their schooling, different types of projects they and their team worked on, and how gratifying their work improved the lives of people and society. Surrounded by family involved in health care and technology, it was during my freshman year in college that I was introduced to the health informatics major. Subsequently, I researched the major and talked with advisors and professionals in the field. The HIHIM program would allow me to follow in my family’s footsteps. Receiving great medical care not only involves seeing prominent practitioners, but also learning about health informatics will provide me with the knowledge of the complex health care system to ensure patients receive the best quality care from start to finish.
I would want to study in the UK because I would like to get out and explore different parts of the world. In the states, you are told that you’re in the greatest country, well I want to see if that is true and what better place to start than the United Kingdom and learn about your culture, customs, and history while study my major in your country. And I’ve been to a lot of the U.S I feel I know it already. I want to explore and build a new home and foundation in a foreign land where I must start over and build new connection and start from the bottom and work my way up. I am in the United states so English isn’t an issue that I have to concern with and I’ve taken four years of U.S English courses in high school. Want to study in the UK because there is better for me to learn outside a comfortable environment.
Through my exposure to the various branches of medicine during my rotations in medical school, I found that I was drawn toward Internal Medicine. The variety of clinical encounters, procedures, and degrees of illness make internal medicine extremely appealing to me. During this period, I was mastered in taking patient history and conducting thorough physical examination. I actively involved myself in interacting and educating patients and their families about their diseases by willingly staying extra
I am motivated to volunteer in the HPC volunteer program because sports have been such a large part of my life. I played competitive soccer from the age of 12 and I still continue to play. In addition, the anatomy of the human body fascinates me and I wish to learn more about it through a hands-on experience. This past winter break, I took the opportunity to volunteer at PT Health at Guelph Medical Place. The physiotherapist I worked with was Phillip Genesis.
I feel like as humans we tend to make a routine for ourselves and before we know it we cannot go beyond it. The effort to learn something or do something different becomes tiresome. Our lives are conditioned to be a routine; eat, sleep, go to school (college now) and most dreadful of all, learn. It is not come as a surprised as when school is over we come home and toss our book bags anywhere, but, near. We do not want to be reminded of learning (until the next morning). So, for me my life became a sort of routine and I was totally fine with that. I was okay with my typical boring high school life with seeing the same friends and teachers and doing basically the same thing everyday.
I believe there are many different ways in which a person such as myself can make a contribution to society, the only problem is finding the path that suits you, and after all we are all different and desire different things. I want to study pharmacology because it appeals to me in many ways, throughout my high school years science always kept me interested and eager to learn more. The prospect of studying how certain drugs affect our bodies and exploring the physical and behavioural effects on both the mind and body fascinates me. All the time there is a story on the news about drug abuse and drug-related deaths. The environment in which we live in promotes the use of painkillers for our normal every day issues such as the common cold or a headache.
Pharmacy is a prolific field of study that is taking a prime position in the world of academia. It is quite demanding and needs completeness and vigilance. Thus, by going through pre-pharmacy, it will help me reshape my educational and career aspirations by bringing into reality what pharmacy entails through prerequisite coursework. I will also be able to come to terms with what the profession has at the end of the tunnel and asses with it marches my career goals. The profession is loaded with numerous employment and personal advancement opportunities, and I am motivated to study pre-pharmacy since it will spark of my innovativeness and optimistic that my future days would be worth the trouble.
Every heartbeat threatens to make my head explode. The fluorescent lights and relentless noise of the waiting room assault my senses; I wonder if I will be able to make it through my appointment without crying or vomiting. The neurologist leads me to the exam room, where we begin to discuss my next medication change. I was diagnosed with migraine headaches when I was five years old, and I have struggled with chronic migraines since I was ten.
During this assignment, I was able to interview an older adult and receive their opinions and feedback about the practice of pharmacy and pharmacists. My interview went exactly as I expected. I have a very good relationship with the 74-year-old lady I interviewed. I knew she would give me honest feedback, and due to the fact that she takes about 15 medications daily, I knew she would have much experience and insight on pharmacy related questions. Her overall attitude towards pharmacy was positive, as I expected.
Personal Statement In my four years of working as a pharmacy technician, I have had the opportunity to enrich my understanding of applied biochemistry while helping patients on their journeys to better health. My experience has further driven my desire to study the field, with an interest in researching and developing treatments that patients can administer at home, without the need for frequent hospital visits. When the COVID-19 vaccines were first approved, my pharmacy was designated to be a vaccination clinic. During this time, I worked with patients to schedule appointments, check in upon arrival, and properly document their vaccination cards.
My Butler University academic training and intern experience has positioned me to recognize and appreciate the essential role performed by the clinical pharmacist. Although sometimes transparent, it is the clinical pharmacist that is central to a patient’s ultimate successful recovery. This was evident during my clinical rotations, where I directly participated in the optimization of medication therapy to achieve patient-specific outcomes; it is for this reason I am impassioned and compelled to pursue a residency. As a PGY-1 resident, I plan to apply my clinical knowledge in the acute and ambulatory care settings to identify medication-related problems and make therapeutic recommendations in collaboration with other practitioners. Upon completion
Today in the 21st century the roles of pharmacist have expanded tremendously. Before pharmacist had the role of solely dispensing drugs. Pharmacists were limited to only being regulatory or clinical pharmacist. Back then they were called medical purveyors who were much like today’s regulatory pharmacist and hospital pharmacist who are similar to hospital pharmacist. Now pharmacists carry many roles in healthcare. Pharmacist can play roles in public health, community, health systems, state, and federal government.
The flow of the medical community is dependent on every person employed there. The harmony it creates does not only come from the doctors or nurses, but the janitors, surgeons, receptionists, and even the pharmacists. Each job is necessary in order for the hospitals to function properly; for instance, the doctors diagnose the patient with their illness, prescribe them medication to cure it, and send them to the pharmacist, who then gives them their medication and sends them home. However, some jobs are overlooked more than others and do not receive the proper credit, like the pharmacist. Pharmacists are recognized for dispensing and sorting drugs, but their jobs help educate patients over their prescription and uphold the
It is vital for one to acknowledge his wellbeing and plan his personal goals and intentions before pursuing a career. It was not until after my mother passed away that I acknowledged that ideology and became certain that pharmacy is a realm I should be in. my mother passed away from cancer and her life could have been more prolonged if she continued her medication. At that time, I had little experience and that is what lead me to want to become a pharmacist. Moreover, my passion for the evolution of science which has contributed to the advancements of medications, such as how they function and how they influence society. Also, the development of antibiotics has changed how society sees certain diseases and medicines are not only used to save lives but also to
