6. My first research experience began in June of 2012 working in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Flushing Hospital Medical Center, an inner city hospital located in Flushing, Queens in New York. As a student researcher, I had my first glimpse into the scientific method of clinical research. The project I worked on included researching ways in which a city hospital could efficiently and cost effectively diagnose women with preeclampsia, a disorder which has the potential to cause harm and death to the mother or child. I was given the ability to help the researchers in several aspects of the project. The physicians guided me in the analysis of pre-experimental data and the interpretation of past literature on topics similar to our project. With this knowledge in hand, I was given the ability to find the proper tools which would be needed to carry out the project and then help in the …show more content…
Electrophysiology has a close relation with neurology. Many conditions such as syncope and stroke have both cardiac, as well as neurological implications, and therefore I began my time by studying and researching material that relates to both these fields. With my newly acquired knowledge, I wrote, under the assistance of the physician I was working with, sections for a new textbook entitled Neurologic and Psychiatric Complications of Systemic Disease, a book which collaborates among many fields of medicine. I participated in weekly research meetings with other members of our research team, including other students, residents, fellows, physicians, and a biostatistician. I also attended weekly clinical care meetings with physicians in the department of neuroscience in order to build my knowledge base in this field, and to look for cases that especially pertained to both electrophysiology and
In order to receive a more accurate result future studies could introduce a model assessment. An experience clinician could pre rate another patient and explain his / her arguments as to why he assessed his / her way.

According to Osmond & Darlington (2005, p.3), as a professional social worker that critical reflection could be a fundamental approach to contribute to their work. Besides, the best value of the critically reflective approach might have a chance to engage with different ideas, knowledge, feelings and theories. Thus, critical reflection is a necessary approach to every social work to contribute them to be professional.
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.
Research has influenced me and helped me grow as an advanced practice nurse adding the ability to research and find the evidence-based solutions to patient problems. One example was a patient with symptoms of pulmonary embolism and the computerized tomography angiogram of the chest report was inconclusive for pulmonary embolism. In
Up until this year, before taking the class intermediate composition, I thought I was a terrible writer. I was right. Writing isn’t something that I enjoy doing, nor am I good at. Writing is difficult for me because I’m not very good at explaining things in a professional manner, that can be easily well written. While writing you are expected to make little to no mistakes, which is not something I’m great at. I am so much better at explaining things with verbal words rather than written words. I had not taken any extra writing classes before this year rather than the mandatory ones. Like I had stated before, I hate writing, with a passion. I dread writing anything, especially an essay for school, like this one. I’m
These materials can be very dry and complicated to comprehend, which requires practice, perseverance and adequate clinical knowledge to obtain and decipher new findings. Actively in search for access to the sources on the concerned topics with patient as the center care should be a common practice within and outside clinical time. Also, we should present ideas in graphical ways to easily envision interrelationship between variables and focus on answering the clinical questions/hypothesis. Be a smart consumer in the market of information, conduct research on concerned topic then package relevant findings, and solid evidences into an action-driven plan that is feasible on every clinical basic. We must know the critique criteria to grade the readings and determine whether they contribute to remedy the proposed
Since, I have been working in the mental health field for two years alongside therapists and other mental health professionals; I imagined therapy to be a lot more relaxed then what it is. While recording the sessions, I realized how strategic and challenging therapy can be. I have witnessed many therapy sessions and never realized the amount of preparation and techniques therapist use. Often times it seems as if therapy is really subjective and there is no real approach. After learning different techniques in class and effective ways to utilize those skills I am aware that a competent therapist must possess certain skills.
According to Paul (1999), reflective practice has become a dominant paradigm in second language teacher education in recent years. Further, Biggs (2003) cited that learning new technique for teacing is like the fish that provides a meal for today which same as reflective practice that acts as the net that provides the meal for the rest of one’s life. To begin with, reflective practice has been a major movement since the eighties in teacher education (Calderhead, 1989; Cruickshank &Applegate, 1981; Gore, 1987; Zeichner, 1987). Even more, research acknowledges a number of potential benefits that arise from reflecting on ones’ teaching both for pre-service and in-service teachers (Bailey, 1997; Cruickshank, 1987; Mckay, 2002; Oterman and Kottamp,
A major hurdle in this academic career that I hope to have is going to be the lack of expertise in the designing, implementation and evaluation of clinical trials.

In my time working alongside physicians, specifically neurologists, I have learned how imperative research is when concerning the intricacies and complexities of human physiology. Through my work as an intern alongside these neurologists, I have learned that in this specialty of clinical medicine, there can be more questions than answers. My desire to answer these questions is why I would like to engage in research and be part of the SPUR program. My passion for this science, specifically neuroscience, has intensified over my compilation of experiences. From a very young age, my undiagnosable neurological mystery has instilled a curiosity to search for answers to deeply understand the errors in my biochemical and anatomical pathways.
When it comes to working in a stressful environment while maintaining efficient, human, and profession-al conduct, I’m highly competent. In addition, my communication skills are sharp, as is my abil-ity to retain information and remember people. Thanks to my schooling and my keen interest in the industry, my research skills will keep my knowledge of the industry and practices up-to-date. In fact, taking in new material is a joy. The Clinical laboratory science field is vast and ever-changing, something I’m both excited and prepared to deal with. For this reason, I intend to re-main on top of advances in the field.
