...AHP -3-503 -Inter-professional Learning Reflection on group process Reflection summary Following completion of the above unit, I reflected on the group process (comprising 10 members of students from various allied health professions), considering my role in the group, how I related to others and the group in relation to the relevant theory. I have written this reflection using John’s Model For Structured Reflection (2000). Looking in During this unit, each group was given a task to design a campaign to raise awareness about the allied health professions, to be pitched at those who were in primary and secondary education and also to graduates. This was then to be presented to some of the other groups at the end of the unit. We began by discussing and sharing our ideas within our group. Reflecting back over this unit, I was quite aware of how the group of ten did appear quite large to begin with, and I felt it was difficult at times for everyone to have their say, including myself. I did feel that I held back on saying some of my ideas, partly because initially I did not feel comfortable sharing them in a group of people I didn’t know very well and felt that I was lacking a bit of confidence to speak up. There were some members who spoke more than others, which I was expecting, but I did feel that everyone was trying to make a contribution and felt happy that everyone was been given an opportunity to speak and share ideas. As we got to know each other better, I...

...Professional Cultural Groups CS204-09 Brittany Mayfield Kaplan University December 2, 2014 Author Note This assignment will describe in detail a cultural group in my desired field. Abstract In this report, I will include research on cultural groups in the Management field. As well as an interview with my current Human Resources Manager. Professional Cultural Groups CS204-09 Cultural Groups1 Employees everywhere have in some sort of way adopted several characteristics from their work colleagues. For example in most professions, the individuals that are employed are all wanting to excel in their profession. Unbeknownst, they adopt similar values and behavior patterns as their peers. It’s true that work places consist of many different professions, and roles. These differences also include diverse cultural groups, such as: Historical factors, social classes, beliefs, values, attitudes, and etc. As a Sales Accounting Administrator, I am constantly working with different departments. These departments include: pricing, sales, accounting, customer service, and human resources. Although, I love the variety of my job. One day I would love to rise to other levels in my career. However, I have learned that within these different departments you work with a variety of people. These individuals are from different backgrounds, have different goals, along with many other things. For example, the pricing department is small, and the individuals that work within...

...1. Which major occupation groups will drive the UAE government’s efforts to build a Knowledge Economy? I believe the occupation group of “Professionals” will drive the UAE Government’s effort to building a Knowledge Economy. The reason I believe Professionals are the ones driving this, is because I feel although knowledge and Training are provided by the Government on a continuous basis, there is a lack of professionalism in the individuals working for the UAE organizations. In addition, unfortunately whenever there is an existing project, outsourcing is always required especially when it comes to professional positions, therefore I feel the UAE’s focus must be on their nationals in order to promote this type of occupation group & avoid the dependence on expats. Although UAE is diversified due to the high levels of tourism, and would like their organizations to have the best quality professionals, they should not over-look their nationals who would most likely be willing to occupy higher level positions even in the Private sector. 2. Which major occupation group would you target to increase Emiratization and why? In my opinion, I would target the occupation group of Technicians and Associate Professionals due to the following reasons: * High number of outsourced candidates in the technical field. * Lack of UAE nationals who are considered skilled Technicians. * Constant need for the groups of Technicians and Associate professionals both in the Government and...

...life. Schultz, D. (2010). Ethics Regulation Across Professions. Public Integrity, 12(2), 161-172. doi:10.2753/PIN1099-9922120204 Gifting, a private act of friendship and charity among individuals that has deep cross-cultural roots, is increasingly seen as a morally problematic practice in many professions. Gifting done within the context of employment is now the subject of regulation in many professions as part of a broader effort to promote independence, impartiality, and objectivity. Based upon a survey of more than twenty professional associations and fields of employment, this commentary examines the historical roots of gifting, why it poses an ethical problem, and how many organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are adopting policies to address this practice. Overall, three conclusions are reached. First, because gifting creates a sense of dependency, reciprocity, or indebtedness, its practice within a professional setting causes potential or real conflicts of interest, regardless of the size or type of the gift. Second, because of the problems that gifting poses, many professions have already recognized the need to address the practice. Finally, the field and practice of public administration needs to address...

Normally when an individual seeks professional help, they are among more than the single issue.

...Future Trends in Crisis Intervention Abstract Mental Health Paraprofessionals (MHPP) will work with the client and family on behavioral issues that occur in the home, school, and community.

...Professionalism is a vital aspect in the education preparation program. In the article, professionalism is defined as “the ideal to which individuals and occupational groups aspire, in order to distinguish themselves from others” (Creasy). Professionals are people who acquire specific knowledge so that they can make the right judgments and follow the standards to which they are accountable.Professionalism can be broken down into three categories. A teacher must first adhere to the professional parameters like the legal and ethical issues. They must learn to follow the local, state, and federal laws pertaining to issues like “No Child Left Behind” and “Child Maltreatment”. The next category would be professional behaviors. Teachers must...

...Kevin Keliipio Dee Forbes AVS-127 4 October 2015 Learning Goals Response Paper: Guy R. Maher wrote an article titled, “Building the right attitude”. It is a reflection of his experience when Mr. Maher went to the Robinson Safety course, a requirement for pilots that want to become a CFI for any Robinson aircraft. Mr. Maher observed the vast majority of the group had an attitude. The attitude he is talking about is the attitude that they know more than what is being taught. But Mr. Maher went a step further, he asked himself if they act like this here, would they act like this at their profession? This got me thinking of my actions on subjects that I find, “pointless” or topics that I have extensive knowledge in. When I look back to my first week of school, I realize that in every class I enrolled in, I had that “attitude” Mr. Maher wrote about. I thought I knew it all, didn’t give a care in the world to the subject and actually asked to test out of certain classes. My view changed when I was given this assignment. I started to do research on adaptability and how students react to topics they feel will not benefit them in their profession. I found that people who neglect certain topics, generate a routine or habit that limits personal growth. Studies found that people limiting themselves to what they are interested in will neglect opportunities that will impact their chosen field of interest. Like Jim Palmer, a senior HR pilot recruiter said, “it is between...

...Will Human Resource Development Survive? Darren C. Short, John W. Bing, and Marijke Thamm Kehrhahn We, the authors, experience human resource development (HRD) as a paradox. This is a time when HRD appears to be at its strongest in terms of publications and research outputs and when the environment appears right for HRD to demonstrate clear value-added to key stakeholders. However, in other ways, HRD appears inner directed and without substantial impact: publications seem to preach to the converted; HRD research and, to some degree, practice appear divorced from real-time problems in organizations; HRD professionals see their work being completed by those from other professions; there is limited evidence that HRD has really moved far from the fad-ridden gutters of false short-term training panaceas; and practitioners are still measuring training person-hours rather than the relationship between learning and productivity. Every year, the members of the ASTD Research-to-Practice Committee are given an opportunity to write an editorial for HRDQ. Two years ago, Dilworth (2001) described the committee’s work in exploring the future of HRD. Last year, Short, Brandenburg, May, and Bierema (2002) summarized the main trends identified by that work, focusing on the implications for HRD of the increasing pressure for organizations to deliver shareholder value, the trend toward globalization, and the need for just-in-time products, services, and solutions. Since then the work has...

...care for the benefit of service users”. The two day IP conference (2011), was a great opportunity to meet different professionals and agencies from different areas of health and social care profession and share their views and understanding on IP working and IP learning. The Centre for Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) has defined IPE as “Interprofessional Education occurs when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care" (CAIPE, 2002). CAIPE uses the term "Interprofessional education" (IPE) to include all such learning in academic and work based settings before and after qualification, adopting an inclusive view of "professional". Based on the key themes, we discussed how Interprofessional collaboration can provide best possible care to the service users and analyse where the services are lacking. Through group discussions, key note addresses and seminars, I was able to learn about the communication issues between the health and social care professionals, contrasting professional perspectives and values, ethics within teams and stereotyping, power imbalances and team processes ( Fletcher, 2008). Improving the quality of communication is now a key priority for health and social care (DoH, 2008). Staffs at all levels are expected to work in partnership with multi-professionals and agencies. Service users expect, and demand, greater equality in service provision. The effective communication of...

This is also a factor keys for success. So what is the professionalism? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines professionalism as "the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person". If we ask any employer, all of them want a professional employee instead an unprofessional employee. (Christine, 2015) In our research, we find that there are six attributes included in professionalism (Shelvy, 2013). First is specialized knowledge, as a professional person, the knowledge in his or her areas are important. The most representative is academic qualification. A person's education level representative of his knowledge and skills. Generally speaking, during the interview, academic qualification is a mandatory targets for a person to get the job.

Similar to these individuals, I want to earn my MBA to open future professional opportunities. Personally, an MBA will help me bring value to my family and community. I currently hold a B.S.in Business with an emphasis in Information Technology and work in the Risk Assurance field. While I have a business degree, the work is do is technical in nature – programming, reading code, auditing and developing technical strategies to address risks. While I interact with individuals from the business it’s generally with other developers or programmers to discuss and address technical issues. As I progress my career at my workplace, I can see that the functions of my job will change. I see my superiors doing less of the technical work and more work with the business and our clients. Currently, some of my peer group and coworkers hold masters degrees, but they are all in accounting. While this is valuable, I feel an MBA will go much further. By earning an MBA, I will be able to bridge the gap between my technical knowledge and the managerial side of my profession. Much more so than a master’s degree in any other field. I can back my experience with credentials proving my worth. An MBA will help me achieve my professional goals by opening the door to new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise.
