Oral Reflection:
As a current Year 12 student striving to get into Medicine, by investigating and creating a guide on this topic will be informative for myself and other students in the same situation as myself. This was accomplished through extensive research, both primary and secondary resources. I began preliminary research through the Internet and utilisation of secondary sources. This provided significant amounts of information and allowed me to thoroughly understand the topic. A vast array of secondary and primary sources were utilised to produce a valid and reliable report that explored the processes involved in the undergraduate entry into medicine. I used these sources to appropriately reference any statements and information I used within my report. As a result, I was able to produce sufficient evidence of analysis of information to create an accurate report.

I thoroughly read the websites to determine whether the information is useful or not, then began annotating the key findings. However in order to use the information from the websites, I had to determine whether they were credible and whether there was any bias present within the website. I did this, through extensively analyzing and examining the sources, by highlighting the key findings and any hints of bias and cross-referencing the information to other websites to determine whether the information established is credible and valid.
The additional interview process with Andreas Ktoris was conducted effectively by appropriately interacting with the Interviewee. This was achieved by using appropriate language and allowed me to be articulate when asking the questions, hence the interviewee is able to understand my queries and respond with relevant answers. As a result, I was able to obtain highly valid and relevant information that I could incorporate within my
I found many sources with a lot of information and videos that gave me quotes and information not provided on websites. I presents my research on my project as what Earl went through to give the opportunity to others. I grabbed many quotes from interviews from the NPR website.
Students must self evaluate/reflect at the end of each clinical course by answering the statements/questions below. This paper is evaluated based on how completely each section is answered as well as grammar/spelling/punctuation.
The first two years of medical school focuses on classroom and laboratory coursework in subjects such as anatomy, physiology, psychology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and the legal aspects of medicine. The final two years of medical school is used for student to complete clinical rotations in medical specialties such as surgery, pediatrics, family practice, psychiatry, obstetrics, and gynecology. Medical school does not allow students to specialize in a particular field such as neonatology, but it allows them to have training in all specialty areas of medicine and the familiarity of diagnosing and treating illnesses in most specialty areas of
1. What top issues affect medical students and medical schools today according to AAMC ?
After all the commitments that a pre-medical student has done, the result of all of the hard work lies on the power of his or hers personal statement to convince the admissions committee that he or she is worthy of becoming a physician. All admission committees work highly selectively to bring only those who are better fit to their professional school. The admission committee of the University of Maryland School of Medicine consist of highly educated and experienced faculties including Milford M. Foxwell, Jr. MD (Associate Dean for Admissions) and Sandra Quezada, MD (Associate Dean for Admissions).
I have always looked forward to the day I would begin a residency program in Internal Medicine. Prior to my admission to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria, I was motivated to pursue this path. My early childhood experiences and academic background including a Public Health degree in progress have all contributed to shape and maintain my quest for a career in Internal Medicine. I am confident that I am ready to embark on this journey.
Becoming a doctor will grant me the ability to directly analyze, examine and comfort some of the people who suffer similar setbacks as my parents. The field of medicine is a growing sector in desperate need of brilliant yet compassionate innovators who will be well equipped and capable of formulating, addressing and analyzing pressing issues. Participating in the Drexel Pathway to Medicine program will grant me the opportunity to quantitatively and analytically strengthen my core skills, knowledge, and facilitate my development in a developing industry. This program will ultimately help me to advance and transition into an effective medical student. Working as a pathologist assistant and a medical scribe has not only given me great exposure to two different fields of medicine, but it has allowed me to attain necessary skills needed to make a better student. I am well aware that I may not have the solution to every medical problem, but I do know that with dedication, hard work, proper knowledge, and training, I will be able to provide a better quality of care for my future patients and their
The internet is a great resource but this paper takes a critical look at the DHMO.org website, in particular, and looks at categories during this assessment that addresses specific critical tools in evaluating this web page specifically. Using primarily the web page evaluation checklist published by UC Berkeley1 and concurrently S.P.I.D.E.R.2 which is the acronym for Source, Purpose, Information, Domain, Educational, and Reliability. It takes you through how the web page evaluation checklist helped in discerning the authenticity of the web page.
Are assertions in the source based on reliable evidence? Are sources cited? How are you able to tell? They do list where they get their info from within the paragraphs or quotes.
Another point on the checklist is how professional the site looks. The site isn’t something that is too flashy. It looks very professional. Has tabs on the side that make it easy to see and decide what specifically needs to be seen on the website. The think is even though it looks put together it doesn’t mean that the data is credible but this website took the time to place everything in the exact way it should be read it. All the information is categorized and not just placed to where
The majority of the students emerge confused and frustrated. Some succumb to the academic pressure and exhibit sex and behavioral reversal. Some start regretting of opting to be doctors and considers changing the course. The tutors play a great deal at this stage. The students are given quality tips of living being a doctor. The students have to learn safety measures while at the hospital for self and the patient. In addition, the have to learn to outdo any existing phobia regarding patient and build up the courage. Moreover, the students are introduced to the legal aspects of
Now that we are living in an ever changing world, technology is viewed as the most resourceful tool in keeping up with the pace. Without the use of technology, communication would be limited to using mail for delivery and encyclopedias for research. Although technology has improved the way we communicate and find information for research, the information is not always valid. Unfortunately, for those of us who use the internet for shopping, research, or reading articles of personal interest the information is not treated the same as a your magazine or book. While such literature is reviewed by an editorial staff, internet literature or information can be published by anyone. In order to reap the full benefit of having the use of technology for any purpose, there are five basic criteria’s one must keep in mind as an evaluating tool for deciding whether or not the particular website is a reliable source for information.
Summarize your activities during the 2017-2018 academic year. Describe how your activities are preparing you for a medical career.
The objective of this essay is to compare Internet research with other sources of information which include books, word of mouth and primary research. This paper will also look at ways of ascertaining the validity of research information for academic work.
I knew that getting into medical school was difficult because of the amount of people that apply and only the best if the best get in. I already had the idea of how hard it is, but hearing it from someone who is going through it now makes it seem so much more realistic, it also makes you realize more of what makes it so difficult and time consuming. One major thing that I didn’t know was that you do not have to be set on what you want to do when you get to medical school, you have to have a general idea, but you don’t need to choose specifically what you want to do.
