...pregnancy. I chose this career because I feel that this is where I would be most useful.Even though I haven’t had any personal experience with this field of work it still seems interesting to me.

In order to become an OBGYN generally you must obtain a bachelors degree, earn a four year medical degree and complete a four year residency. You must obtain your bachelors degree and your medical degree from an accredited school.

...OBGYNs have one of the most rewarding jobs. One of the most rewarding things about the job according to Dr. Donald Whitaker (6), is “the joy of it and sharing with families one of the greatest events of their lives”. A lot of people say it’s most rewarding because they get to witness the miracle of birth every day. Whitaker states that “If you don’t mind working hard and the long hours it is probably the most rewarding careers in medicine.” OBGYNs work hard to get where they are. According to Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center (prepare 4), “You can prepare for a future in medicine by taking courses in biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.” It takes four years to complete and earn an M.D. Their schooling is separated in half. The first two years are lectures, classes and spending time in laboratories. They must take a computer class since technology is the fastest growing industry right now. They also must take courses such as English and speech that foster good communication skills. The third and fourth years of the degree are practical studies; students rotate through different departments in a clinic or hospital, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and OB/GYN. Armstrong says, “The fourth year primarily focuses on OB/GYN clinical electives, such as high-risk obstetrics, endocrinology and ambulatory OB/GYN. During the fourth year, students will apply for a residency program through a computer matching method. "The match"...

...Leadership Development and Change Management MGT 6503 Week 7 Final Project: Cash Control Cash Control In an organization as large as the healthcare system I work for, each clinical department has their own financial group consisting of a Chief Financial Officer and a Director who is supported by two to three accountants. To name a few, some of these many clinical departments are OBGYN, Ophthalmology, Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Dermatology, Surgery, Family Medicine, Neurology and Radiology. All together, the health system is organized into about twenty clinical departments (excluding non-clinical departments such as advertising, accounts payable, legal, human resource, etc) that report to corporation’s centralized Finance department. Some of Finance’s many duties are to book journal entries that are often generic to all departments and review all the submitted P&L from each department. Once the reviews and analyses are completed, the Centralized Finance team consolidates all of the financial statements for the organization as one. My department (OBGYN, Obstetrics & Gynecology) is made up of both full time and part time employees. The department has about eighty physicians and an additional three hundred employees supporting the work of the physicians. The other supporting staff members include practice managers& supervisors, nurses, technicians, patient services representatives (PSR) and the finance unit in my group. Our department consists of...

...Community Health Needs Assessment On March 23, 2012 it became a requirement for all hospital organizations operating a state-licensed hospital facility to compete a community health needs assessment (CHNA) at least every three years. The report must include a description of the community the hospital serves, the process and methods used to complete the assessment, input from persons representing the interest of the community, a prioritized description of the community health needs and a description of the existing health care facilities and available resources in the community. The CHNA must be available to the public by being posted on the hospital or organizational website. Hospitals must develop a written plan addressing each need identified in the CHNA, as well as provide implementation strategies for meeting the community needs (Adams, 2011). In the given case study, Trinity Community Hospital has complete their CHNA by identifying the communities major risk factors, ill health causes and actions required to address these issues. Trinity Hospital’s CHNA targets cancer, orthopedics and cardiovascular services within the hospitals primary service region. To complete the assessment the hospital utilized information from epidemiology surveys, planning guidelines from state healthcare facilities, physician interviews, interviews with other healthcare professionals and community focus groups.

...Running head: PCOS, AN UNDER DIAGNOSED DISORDER PCOS, An Under Diagnosed Disorder Abstract A very common, but often under diagnosed hormone disorder is called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome also known as, PCOS. A positive diagnosis along with treatment can become the answer to many other health problems, including infertility, which may have plagued the patient. Purpose Statement Shows how PCOS, when diagnosed and treated properly can become the answer to many other health problems, including infertility, which may have plagued the patient. Statement of Qualification I bring knowledge to this study because I was diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago at the age of 28. Having missed the proper diagnosis for the majority of my child-bearing years, I suffered from many of the symptoms that will be later discussed. I have since been under treatment and have found the answer too many of the health problems I had earlier in life.

...An Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OBGYN) are professions that have captured my interest before I was even able to do simple task such as multiplying. While in second grade, my mother’s pregnancy with my younger brother ignited my curiosity of learning the fetal development process. Always being an old soul, instead of watching shows in which the average child would, I was drawn to the Discovery Health channel watching "Deliver Me" and things of that sort. Shocking my elders, I would inform them of material they were not even aware of on the subject. My mother was pleased to see their awestruck faces and humored expressions due to her seven year old child lecturing on a range of topics from cells to a cesarean section. To bear a child, a woman's body must endure countless changes from the expansion of their stomachs to even the speed at which their heart beats. Each little change God has put in place has a purpose in the development of the baby so we humans can experience the precious miracle of bringing a child into the world; "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward," (Psalms 127:3). It is indescribable to explain how utterly beautiful pregnancy and the birth of a child are. It would give me such great pleasure to assist in any way I can in the process of the development and delivery of beautiful, healthy babies. Furthermore I would love to see the pure joy these innocent beings bring to their parents faces....

...originated from the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, by two doctors in 2014 so relatively updated information. This source is all about breast cancer rates in women who have had abortions vs. those who had not. The source gives information on studies and statistics, and also unique to why breast cancer occurs in women who abort their babies. They give the science to why the body does not have enough lobules in the breast to protect against breast cancer when you have an abortion. I used this source because it gave details and in depth descriptions as to why breast cancer is higher in women who had abortions. It is also very easy to follow and understand for someone without a medical degree to know what it all means. OBGYNS, P. (2012, May 25). ProLife OBGYNS. Retrieved from AAPLOG: http://aaplog.org/abc-link/ This source of information was originally created by a doctor who has an MD degree and the site is a little older being introduced in 2012. This source has multiple aspects including not just about breast cancer associated with abortions, but risks involved, statistics, complications, psycholog0ical iss0ues that can occur as a result of abortions, and physical affects as well. The source leans a little toward the pro-life side of the issue but is still credible in the information side.

...central insurance institution in Poland, and is further disseminated among the 16 regions of Poland in which branches of NFZ are located. From the local community budget, moneys are paid directly to selected health care units. Due to the yet unfinished implementation of family medicine, primary health care in Poland consists of two dimensions or care models: the old Semashko model with its group out-patient units and the family medicine model. Nowadays both dimensions have equal representation in the health care system: First, part of primary health care – the remaining Semashko model – is organized based on out-patient units. Traditionally, these units consisted of different parts: general-internal medicine; pediatrics; surgery; OBGYN; district nursing care and in many cases dental care. Care in each of these parts was provided by specialists of each particular medical...

...The Call For More Nursing Education JANUARY 3, 2013 - ELIZABETH TANNEN The nursing workforce needs more education. That's one of the main statements from a recent report by the Institute of Medicine, and the field of nursing is taking it seriously. Called The Future of Nursing, the IOM committee—led by former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala—made several specific policy recommendations: among them, a call for an eighty percent increase in the number of nurses with a baccalaureate degree by 2020, and double the number of doctorates.1 But with doctorate programs taking up to six years to complete, many nurses who wish to advance in their careers are opting for an intermediate option: an MSN, or Masters of Science in Nursing. One reason in particular: the emergence of numerous "bridge" programs that allow you to use credits from your associate degree toward getting an MSN. According to the AACN (American Association of Colleges of Nursing), there are now 168 RN to MSN programs nationwide—a more than fifty percent increase since fifteen years ago.2 And many more are in the planning stages. And, more and more of them—like Aspen—are online, allowing nurses to work through their degrees and fit studying into their individualized schedules. The recommendation to get a BSN, from a policy perspective, is rather straight-forward: research has shown that baccalaureate degrees translate to better patient outcomes. But the reasons to get an MSN aren't, necessarily...

...health care providers. In the United States, public health and health care delivery systems complement each other in several ways. One of the major way in which they complement each other is through their focus on prevention services to the communities. For instance, governmental agencies may implement programs to help improve the health of members of the communities ,such as the Woman Infant and Children (WIC) program that helps with nutrition education and provision for low income mothers and their children up to the age of five. Here we can see how public health is in place since there is the promotion of health and disease prevention among the target population. The health care delivery systems include the WIC facilitators, the OBGYNs at the community health centers who refers the mothers, the nutritionist at the WIC center etc. One way in which public health and health care delivery systems compete with each other is due to the fact that both may want to see the end result of disease prevention, health care systems do not mesh effectively with other components of the public health system. This is because the health care systems are faced with dire quality and expense challenges. The Future of Public Health in the 21st Century states that health care systems are "technology and procedure driven"...and do not support the quality time needed for inquiry, reflection, and communication needed for disease prevention and health promotion.2 The influential parties and...
