The prospect of working as a clinical trial administrator and contributing towards the work conducted by the Royal Malsden would be a welcomed opportunity to mee. I believe I have the scientific mindset and skills necessary to fulfil the post duties and I hope this will enable me to make a positive impact on the important work being conducted.
During my undergraduate studies, my final year project involved critically reviewing the candidacy of a lipoprotein signal peptidase as a novel drug target. It provided me with the opportunity to critically analyse large amounts of research from numerous databases and dissect complex information. My interpretation, critical thinking and data acquisition skills were greatly enhanced through this experience.

This enabled me to further build on my skills obtained from my prior undergraduate studies and build upon my knowledge of research techniques and processes. In addition, the writing up of detailed reports for results and management of references used for the write up of my thesis was required to ensure work was conducted in a logical and organized manner. Additionally, one of my assessment for this degree involved completing a meta-analysis for a drug of choice. This assessment required me to critically analyse both clinical trial data and data from published papers with high precision and attention to detail. Statistical analysis of data reported from clinical trials was also investigated using various statistic programmes. As a result of this project, my organisation, computer skills were greatly improved. Additionally, my knowledge of the research process and its implications were improved. In hindsight, my post-graduate degree was very challenging but rewarding. What was essential to its completion was remaining motivated through stressful situations. I gained valuable skills as a result including excellent time-management and organization skills due to working on numerous project simultaneously, skills I know are necessary for this post.
I always seek to continuously acquire new skills, knowledge and develop professionally. After graduating, I enrolled in several online and face-to-face courses. Including, Introduction to good clinical practice in primary care, introduction to good clinical practice in secondary care and the Improving healthcare through clinical research online course. I was able to build upon my knowledge of clinical research and its importance. Furthermore, these courses really value and importance of good clinical research in healthcare
The role of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) in health care has been identified as a critical role in the goal to provide high-quality health care. APRNs have a bigger role to play in the health care system and it is important that students are provided with relevant and valuable knowledge as well as experience that improve their abilities. Achieving course objectives are critical for APRNs with the goal of contributing positively to the health care system. As a future APRN, I place high priority on life-long learning and the development of other people’s skill sets. All duties associated with health care require a dedication to excellence and selflessness. These are two components of learning that will improve the capabilities of
After taking the Personal Survey of Assessment Literacy, I learned a lot about myself and what I do know about assessments, and what I don’t. This survey allowed me to reflect on the process that I take to plan, develop, and administer tests in my class and what I need to do with the results. When I went through the criteria of all of the topics in the survey, I honestly did not know what the survey was talking about or what it meant. This was really concerning to me because I like to think that I do a pretty good job when it comes to instruction of my class and how I assess their knowledge of the material. I learned from this survey that there are a lot of things I do well during assessments and that there is still a lot that I need to learn to be an effective classroom leader. After scoring the survey, I noticed that I scored myself the highest in the section of During Test Administration with a perfect average score of 5 and scored an average of 4 in the section After Testing. The two lowest sections I scored in where in the General Considerations with an average score of 3.3 and in the section of Prior to Test Design with a score of 3.5.
This assessment score surprised me for I feel that I am very tolerant and adapt well to change, but maybe, as I get older, I resistance change because I have found principles and ideas that work well to achieve success and see change as only undermining what is already working (McShane & Von Glinow, 2016, p. 429). McShane & Von Glinow (2016, p. 428) says that “constructive communication” can overcome resistance. This statement is directed at management, but I plan on using this same advice to overcome my own resistance to change from management. Changes are occurring in my department and some role realignment is going to take place, as this occurs, I agree with McShane & Von Glinow (2016, p. 434) that this change will cause me additional stress, of course, now that I know this I can actions to prevent it. An article written by John MacArthur’s says that the Apostle Paul when faced with pressure still reserved “room in his heart to feel the anxiety of other” (MacArthur, 2012), so when thinking of change, instead of just seeing it as something that is stressing me out, I need to realize that others are probably going thought the same emotions and symptomize with them other, for MacArthur also says that, “Anyone who knows and loves Jesus Christ is capable of handling pressure like that” (MacArthur, 2012). I also need to remember that God is in control and no matter what changes occur God will see me through it (Matthew 6:26). By managing change better, will make me a
In summary using those two different settings is so good in a way that they enhance and motivate the medical students, make them ready for practice, in addition it can influence their career choice in making them aware what kind of speciality they want to be in future. In fact classroom learning alone will not be enough to achieve the competence and the self confidence, teaching clinical skills at early stages during college will have a positive feedback and has potential benefits not only on the students but for other stakeholders.
With the knowledge acquired through the classes I will be a better manager to server to my colleagues in my upcoming career and it will help brighten my future. My passion of being a leader within a healthcare facility comes from knowing that if employees are treated well and happy with their job they will have excellent customer service skills and treat patients with excellence. When a patient is sick they are at the most vulnerable time of their life. If you receive awesome customer service during your most vulnerable time you will feel grateful. I have had many patients at my job express how we don’t make them feel like other doctors office. The patient has expressed that at other doctor office they just feel like another number. When a patient feels as if the staff, doctors, and manager care they will see the whole environment as effective leaders for all healthcare organizations.
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.
As mentioned by Hunter and Arthur (2016), one of the main reasons I could maintain and improve my practice was due to clinical placements. During clinical placements we are frequently being assessed and taught in dealing with real situations. Feelings As learning is a lifelong process, I’m sure there are many things I need to improve and learn to better myself. However, the lessons I learned during the course as a nursing student shall always remain as a bedrock for my future development.
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.
During March 2016, in Stage 1 of the pharmacy degree, I attended a two day work placement in a community pharmacy as part of the Work Based Learning module within the Capability unit. The purpose of Work Based Learning is to increase engagement with learning and to develop skills specific to patient pathways. This will link to Stage 4 of the MPharm course in which the main unit is Patient Centred Care. Therefore, it is imperative that I enhance my patient education skills through my own education.
Certain points are more suited for review research than others. Reviews are essentially utilized as a part of social research that has unique individuals as the unit of investigation. These unique individuals are additionally called respondents or a man who gives information to examination by reacting to review poll. Overview exploration is best used to pick up data about expansive populaces that the analyst can't precisely watch. Overviews are additionally used to assemble data about mentalities and introduction of a substantial populace.
Evaluating different research studies and critiquing the method or samples used has improved my critical thinking and analysis skills, enhancing my ability to make informed decisions about the research. Biology A-Level has given me an insight into the practical functioning of the body, which can be used in Psychology as an approach to explaining different behaviours. For example how different genetic variations can result in a predisposition to developing certain conditions, such as OCD and depression. Studying Maths has strengthened my ability to statistically analyse sets of data, which is vital in Psychology to determine if the hypothesis put forward should be rejected or accepted. For example by calculating the product moment correlation coefficient of a set of data to see if there is a correlation between two
The process of completeing my research task taught me many valuable lessons. In compiling the literature review I learnt how to filter information, as well as how to use citations. The method and results section showed me how to transfer information from labels into suitable graphs and tables, in order to make comparisons and analysises. I learnt how to critically examine graphs and tables, and draw accurate and educated conclusions when completing the discussion section. Through this project, I also realised the importance of reflecting back on any limitations encountered inorder to learn from your mistakes, and find improvements for further research. In addition, I learnt how to reference sources correctly.
Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science. Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future.
I started to explore the different fields of medicine by working as a Medical Scribe in the Emergency Department, ER tech in Trauma Centers, getting involved in research, volunteering at hospitals and taking high level science classes. This will enhance my knowledge and experience i...
This chapter discussed the reflection on the project and the wider implications of the project, and demonstrated the reflection on the MA experience. In a word, the major project and the MA experience gave me an extraordinary chance to carry on the higher education and learn new and advanced learning skills.
