In order to be an ideal clinician, it is important that you possess some very important traits. Empathic, compassionate, energetic, thoughtful, creative, confident, and friendly are just a few of these important traits. All of these traits help make the clinician the best that they could be for the patient. The patient is the top priority and possessing these traits will help the patient’s progress and well being in treatment. Not only is acquiring these traits important, but using these traits in skills that can be used in sessions are just as important too. For example, by being compassionate you are showing the patient that you care about them and are trying to help them succeed. Another important quality for a clinician is the ability …show more content…
The Origami Rehabilitation Center helps patients who have experienced some sort of brain injury from a stroke to an accident. I believe that Juliane possess the important traits and qualities of an ideal clinician. Juliane would begin each session with a short conversation with the patient. Not only was she asking questions about the patient and their life, but she would also ask questions about the patient’s family. I found this amazing as she showed the patient that she cares about their life outside of the session. This short conversation went above and beyond any other clinicians I have observed. Furthermore, even with the caseload of patients Juliane sees, she was mindful to each patient. She made clear that each session was “client-centered” and understood the patient’s frustration or feelings. In conclusion, the time I spent at Origami was an extraordinary and eye-opening experience that I can honestly say I will remember forever. And it was not due to the patient’s I was able to observe, but because I was fortunate enough to observe Juliane. Juliane is someone whom truly cares about what she does and her patients. And that is what makes her the most ideal clinician I have ever had the chance to
Carole Lauren is a 44 year old mother of two, a wife, and a school teacher by profession. Her story began 21 months ago when she had a cerebrovascular accident that left her hemiplegic. Almost two years passed since the event. Carole regained most of the lost function in her left leg, ankle, and foot. However, she still has limited function in her left arm and hand. She also has difficulty organizing her thoughts and read her message from a paper. Her story is about a journey through the health care system.
It just so happens that I believe that I can best and most effectively “lend a hand” when a person is at their bodily weakest. From a single semester of shadowing—a total of 11.75 hours—under physicians and surgeons alike, I have experienced a taste of the medical field from the fascinating gruesome finesse of an open-heart surgery to the day-to-day clinical patient interaction that makes up so much of a medical professionals career. From a community standpoint, I believe that a person does not need to be a doctor to express and achieve care. Because of that, I have joined organizations such as Chords4Kids on the TCU campus—that sings nostalgic songs from the 2000s to down-syndrome children at the local education center as well as at retirement homes, and other events alike—and the TCU GO Center, which mentors local high-school students during their college application process. For the later, I have been given the responsibility as the Executive Organizer for their annual “College Access Day” which provides local students with college information workshops and campus tours. I have also actively
Some may argue that the quality of medical treatment and technology are the most important attributes to a successful recovery. Relman stayed at two hospital facilities during his recovery. The first was Massachusetts General Hospital, and the second was the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Cambridge. Both facilities belonged to the Partners Health System and, therefore, had similar technologies available. Relman mentions multiple times that his care at Spaulding, as opposed to Massachusetts General, was “sometimes excellent but often inadequate.” (Relman) He came to these conclusions based on how he was personally treated as a patient, rather than based on the quality of the treatments. At Spaulding, multiple physicians treated Relman. His main physician went on vacation so multiple associates stepped in to check up on him throughout his stay. None of these associates made him feel comfortable as a patient. They tended strictly to his dire needs and did not spend much time with him beyond primary...
Medical Assistants are the ones that the patient sees first; they are the face of the healthcare facility. For the past 10 years I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I love my job but I want to do more. A medical assistant job is not for everyone a good medical assistant has to have patient to deal with the different type of attitude and behaviors you have to deal with. This paper will cover some topics that I feel are the best qualities that a medical assistant should have.
I have chosen this topic because I just feel that teaching clinical skill is one of the most important strategies which have been used in medical schools, it enhances students to build a confidence which helps them in their future career.
... interact with my clients/patients. To be able to successfully communicate with the patients one must understand their morals, values, desires, and needs. In order to achieve that one must actively listen and respect the differences of others.
I have known from a young age that I wanted to help people, and since then I have searched for the opportunity and knowledge to be able to do just that. On that note, seeing the joy on my uncle’s face, after losing both of his legs and having to learn to walk again with prosthesis’s was so uplifting for me, to witness him so happy even though I wasn’t involved with his healing process. Consequently, I could only imagine how good it would feel to know that I helped him regain his independence and return a smile to his face. That was when I realized that I wanted to give back to people that are in need of assistance. These individuals may not be able to do anything about the position they are in, Hence when I become an Occupational therapist; I will

Nurses are an equally important part of each client’s life. Nurses provide stable care to each client, answers their questions, gives medications and treatments, and assists with medical procedures. They also have the responsibility to explain to clients and family members what they should and should not do as they go through treatment and recovery. Nurses must quickly respond to patients needs. Every individual nurse has his or her own unique way of caring. There are so many ways to show caring that the possibilities are never ending. Nurse’s support, comfort, and help allow the patients to recover to the best of their ability. Their experiences in dealing with different patients that have unique situations on a daily basis helps the nurses become better caregivers. Therefore, every nurse is capable of demonstrating care in their respective environments.
One of these qualities is being self-aware, which means being able to assess personal performance and work towards improving it, as well as being open to and accepting both criticism and praise. Being able to set boundaries also can play a role in this. By knowing your role and any personal limitations it can be beneficial in understanding how much can get done in a certain amount of time. Another quality includes being an active listening and reflecting on what the client is saying, as well as being able to understand and read both verbal and non-verbal language. In social work, it is also important to show compassion for what you are doing and to be empathetic towards a client’s situation and

Professionalism is an adherence to a set of values comprising both a formally agreed-upon code of conduct and the informal expectations of colleagues, clients and society. The key values include acting in a patient's interest, responsiveness to the health needs of society, maintaining the highest standards of excellence in the practice of medicine and in the generation and dissemination of knowledge. In addition to medical knowledge and skills, medical professionals should present psychosocial and humanistic qualities such as caring, empathy, humility and compassion, as well as social responsibility and sensitivity to people's culture and beliefs. All these qualities are expected of members of highly trained professions.
It reminds us that every patient is human, in some type of crisis, vulnerable to the environment, deserves respect, and is in need of skilled/knowledgeable nursing care. A nu...
As a restorative aide, I lead a group of twenty-five to thirty clients through therapeutic activities that work on their gross motor, cognitive, fine motor, sensory, social, and behavior skills. I also carry out individual therapy sessions assigned by occupational therapists, and document individual progress notes. I work as an internal case manager for the clients, and I assist with the evaluation of each client according to his or her backgrounds, activity interests, abilities, and physical limitations to help develop a meaningful therapeutic activity for each person. This job has allowed me to use my creativity and design new fun activities every session to keep clients motivated. I work with clients who have traumatic brain injuries, dementia, and other cognitive and physical disabilities. I’ve developed interpersonal skills and learned the importance of reassurance, redirection, and patience with clients who may become easily confused and anxious. This job has allowed me to build trusting relationships with clients, and further confirmed my passion to become an occupational
I believe that nursing should be a holistic approach, dealing with a patient’s body, mind, and soul. It is definitely a physically demanding job, but equally as important is the demand for emotional commitment. My past academic performance, as well as my personal qualities, provides the foundation for my career. A core characteristic of a successful nurse is teamwork and the ability to act as the liaison between the patients and the other members of the patients’ care teams. Besides working well in a team, it is also important to seek out help when necessary. Another vital quality is culture competency. Prosperous nurses understand diversity, and embrace and honor, rather than judge or ignore, what makes people different. Furthermore, critical thinking skills allow nurses to recognize possible patient problems. The intellectually disciplined process enables the nurses to respond to the constant changes and needs of a patient in their charge. Lastly, the nurse’s role has a zero tolerance for error where the smallest mistake may result in a life-threatening event. To ensure patient safety, it is critical to pay attention to detail and use caution no matter how stressed or overwhelmed a person might feel. These are the core qualities that I hope to attain as a registered nurse and important goals to adhere to for as long as I’m in this
