When the topic of creativity comes up, for most people, the conversation would normally involve art or music. But when I think of creativity, I think of the incredible world of medicine. In this research paper, I argue that creativity isn't just limited to the world of art and literature, but rather it is extremely important even in the medical field. Many advancements have been made in the medical field due to an individual’s discovery or innovative idea. I want to bring awareness to the importance of creativity in the medical field and how it plays a crucial role in the future of medicine. Innovations like the MRI or Gleevec, and the events leading up to the complete eradication of Smallpox, are just a handful of some of the most incredible life-saving medical breakthroughs in modern history. In the world of medicine, peoples creativity has and continues to save thousands of lives everyday, all, one creative idea at a time.
When I began my research, I figured, what better way to start digging in than to hear what a professional has to say. So I contacted Dr. Diana Port, Pharm.D., a Pharmacist in Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey. I asked her to tell me the first thing that came to her mind when I told her the following two words: ‘Creativity’ and ‘Medicine’. Barely finishing my sentence, she answered me with one, Gleevec. She explained to me that in 2001, the FDA approved of a cancer-fighting drug, which would later be called Gleevec for the treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). When the drug first came out, people were literally calling it names like “The Silver Bullet” or “The Miracle Drug” because of how amazing it was (Pray).
It all began when Dr. Brian J. Druker, a physician-scientist at the Oregon He...

... incredible ideas, who knows, you might not even be around to read this paper. The statistics speak for themselves, these creations have and continue to save literally millions of lives every year. Besides for saving lives, we can only imagine how the world would be without some of these incredible contributions.

REVIEW OF THE PROFILE OF CREATIVE ABILITIES There are differences between Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Testing is a large factor in accurately assessing the full scope of the assistance a client may new. Depending on the needs of the client the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) could be a better fit. In considering the tests that exist, one sample population LMFT’s are likely to work with are children.
The author compares Berlioz, a man of music to Cooper, a man of anatomy and surgery, to show that it is the desire for knowledge of interest that drove them to the peak of success in their respective fields. The author cites what William Hazlitt, an opponent of the romantic age said about the anatomist ’s that he likes to see the objects related to their subject as it create new thoughts in the student's minds that ultimately overcomes the pain but he dislikes the prospect of the corpse that presents to ordinary
The process by which Gleevec acts to inhibits bcr-abl in CML patients is by helping to reverse uncontrolled cell growth where Gleevec acts on a molecular target by a method that is more specific to cancer cells. It was shown that there is a substantial in vivo inhibition of the enzymatic activity of BCR-ABL at the 400 mg dose. which decreases phosphorylation of CRKL (a substrate of BCR-ABL). Since Gleevec was designed as an inhibitor of a specific receptor linked with CML, Gleevec also inhibits the Platelet-derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase and the c-kit tyrosine kinase.
When people think of scientists, creativity is not always the first thing that comes to mind. Scientists are viewed as quite the opposite in fact, relying on cold, hard facts, rather than having the mind to create a colorful, bright work of art. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Scientists employ a great degree of creativity when drawing diagrams of observations, thinking of new ideas, and interpreting data in unique ways. Of course, all of the above is limited by the facts, for example you can’t just draw three extra legs on an animal because you want to be creative. However not all scientist’s drawings are going to look exactly alike because everybody is a different person. No two scientific papers are going to be the exact same either, in fact they could in fact be near complete opposites, depending on how one scientist
The Myths of Innovation by Scott Berkun completely changed the way I view creativity. I noticed that we all have creativity inside of us; it is by means of expressing our deepest desires and ideas that we display our creativity to others. Burkun destroys myth after myth about innovation, which had me ready to start inventing my first million dollar idea! Berkun outlines ways to tap into innovation and pulls from history to guide us into the future. His simple and common prose gave me courage to tackle the tough problems. I now feel as though I have a firm grasp on what it means to be an effective creator.
Art impacts every person, in all environments, by embracing all possible benefits across all mediums. Art enables the collaboration between the work and the medical laboratory professional and brings it to the patients they help to diagnose. Artistic processes can offer both the patient and the diagnostic team an avenue to improve communications regarding infectious diseases with art, improving health and healthcare. Important elements of collaborating ideas are to note whether they are entirely experimental, entirely conceptual, or somewhere in the middle. Experiences in modern art are consistent with the middle area of collaboration amongst all artistic processes. The core group of famous Impressionists - Monet, Picasso,
Music and other art forms often go hand in hand. Creativity is not just a one-note deal or rather it is not confined to a singular aspect or form. Oftentimes it is interlaced into many forms, such as, music, writing, artwork, fashion and much more. Like a tree, creativity grows and extends out into infinite directions rooting itself in society. One such artist is Brandon Boyd. During the day he is a contemporary artist and by night he is a singer-songwriter for an internationally recognized rock band, Incubus. Some of their songs include; “Pardon Me” form the album entitled, When Incubus Attacks Vol. 1, and “Drive, “Dig,” and “Oil and Water,” three of my favorites, from the album entitled, Monuments and Melodies and “Sad Sick Little World” from the album entitled, A Crow Left of the Murder. In a 2009 interview with CNN, Brandon said it best, when asked, “So what does art fulfill in you that you don’t get out of music?”
DESCRIPTION. Good examiner's manual, the Profile of Creative Capabilities (PCA) was created mainly to recognize 'gifted students around creative thinking' (p. 7). Alternate uses include monitoring progress in creative-thinking classes and undertaking research. The items inside the PCA include two subtests of divergent thinking and two rating scales (Home and School). The rating scales have identical products. The examiner's manual instructs a college mental medical adviser or any other qualified test administrator the easiest method to administer and score some measures define the PCA. Tables running the manual let the user to alter raw scores to standard scores and percentile ranks, and to derive a standardized 'creativity index' from combined total scores in regards to the two divergent-thinking subtests.

It is important to recognize the concept of creativity to familiarise the idea of what the neuroscientific can do or not in this field. Briefly, the consensus is that something creative is novel, useful (cooperative, appropriate), original (never seen before) and responding to a problem (intervention)(Pope, 2005)(Sawyer, 2012).
There is a magnitude of research put behind trying to find the link between creativity and...
For an effective education creativity needs to be present within all aspects of a primary classroom. So what does it mean to be ‘creative’? According to Sir Ken Robinson “creativity is the process of having original ideas which have value”. Creativity can be demonstrated through the use of technology, problem solving experiments and allowing children the freedom to explore and express new ideas. It is very important to ensure a child can get the best creative education; this is because creativity will give the necessary skills needed for our future. Children must become creative problem solvers if they are in leadership positions as this will help them within society, even though all children may not be in a leadership position it is beneficial for them to have a creative mind-set. Because the world we live in is constantly developing new ideas, concepts and technology, creativity is definitely the most important quality a child can have. Sir Ken Robinson’s, (an international advisor on education) views on creativity in education will be discussed along with New Labour views which includes the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCCE). The 1977 white paper, the open plan for schools, and the 2003 excellence and enjoyment strategy concepts will also be drawn on.
Over the course of this class I have learned how important it is to be creative and innovative in the way that businesses are conducted within the organizations. The ability to innovate is the “secret sauce” of business success (Dyer, et al., 2009). However, creativity and innovation cannot take place if the leaders are not willing to foster a culture of innovation within the organization. Amabile & Khaire (2008) asserted that, it is essential to motivate people to contribute ideas by making it safe to fail. Stress that the goal is to experiment constantly, fail early and often—and learn as much as possible in the process. Convince people that they won’t be punished or humiliated if they speak up or make mistakes (Amabile & Khaire, 2008).
Creativity, it’s a broad topic of just new things and ideas among people. The definition of creativity is the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. PBS describes creativity as, “The new ideas and new connections between ideas, and ways to solve problems in any field or realm of our lives. The concept of creativity is often hard to grasp because creativity isn 't a tangible thing its just and idea. Also, because it’s hard to differ between a truly original idea and an idea that is just shaped from others. With all this being said, it can be hard to figure out where creativity comes from.
Since we are born we have imagination and as we grow up this imagination may increase or decrease. Creativity strongly relies in our imagination. Depending on different circumstances people learn to express their creativity openly while other people close themselves and believe they do not have creativity. Creativity is a natural talent that every single human has. Creativity can be used to solve a complex problem in a different manner or just to find innovative ways to have fun. Creativity is thinking out of the box. Even though creativity cannot be taught from scratch there should be a class that is specific for creativity.
