The document proposes a new healthcare platform to connect patients, doctors, and research in order to address issues with the current system. It notes that patients often feel isolated, confused, and depressed after diagnosis. The platform would allow patients to create personal profiles, join support groups, and easily communicate with doctors. It would also connect patients to relevant medical research studies. The goal is to empower patients by giving them community support and making them feel more informed.Settings of pediatric illness care delivery

This document discusses various settings for delivering pediatric care outside of hospitals. It describes how factors like family preference, advancing technology, and limited insurance coverage are leading to more care being provided in homes, clinics, schools, camps, and other community settings. The roles of nurses in supporting pediatric care in these alternative settings include providing education, administering treatments, assessing the child's condition, and acting as a liaison between the family and healthcare providers.The Benefits of Rural Health Residency Programs

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is dedicated to advancing cures and prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. It was founded in 1962 based on a promise Danny Thomas made to St. Jude Thaddeus to build a shrine if he showed him his way in life. St. Jude treats children with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses from around the world for free and has expanded its campus significantly through a $1 billion project to further research cures.019059-00299 BROCHURE Sanford Rare Disease Symposium Invite 7_36x8_5

This document summarizes research on young mothers' perspectives on navigating the local health care system in Chicago's Greater Humboldt Park area. The research found that the mothers had varying levels of engagement with their health care, from empowered to disengaged. It also found that the mothers experienced negative interactions with providers, a lack of continuity of care, and distrust of the system. The implications discussed improving health literacy, addressing distrust, incorporating community perspectives, and further researching social constructs that influence health care access and decisions.110 muster2014 Dickey

This document discusses supporting clinical academics to develop cultural safety. It notes that clinical academics have a responsibility to improve Aboriginal health outcomes and need support to critically reflect on their leadership roles within medicine and their followership roles within Aboriginal communities. It suggests that using transformative learning theory, clinical academics require good company to develop the dual roles of being leaders in their field and followers in the communities they serve. Questions are posed about whether followership is a key skill for cultural competence and how followership can be learned through experiences and good company.Academy Of Medicine March 07a

The document summarizes a clinical observation program run by the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine that allows pre-medical students to shadow doctors. The program handles all logistics of matching students to doctors and requires minimal involvement from doctors, who need only agree to 4-6 four-hour shadowing shifts per student without providing lengthy evaluations. Doctors can sign up for the program online or by mailing/faxing a form back to the program coordinators.K. Murphy Thesis

Studying for an MBBS in China provides both academic challenges similar to other top medical schools as well as opportunities for cultural exchange and personal growth. The pressure to perform is high but balanced by a competitive environment that pushes students to excel. While some students may struggle with adjusting to China's climate and seasons, interacting with classmates from diverse backgrounds helps with socialization and most learn to adapt to the local conditions over time.Physician assistant schools in west virginia

A study conducted by Imperial College London and the UK Department of Health tested the effectiveness of different text message reminders for reducing missed hospital appointments. Over 20,000 patients were randomly assigned one of several reminder messages about upcoming appointments. The messages varied in how they framed the costs and consequences of missing an appointment. The results showed that reminders highlighting the wasted costs to the NHS of £160 per missed appointment reduced the no-show rate by 23%, showing that behavioral economic framing can significantly improve attendance rates with minimal effort or cost.A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity

Genes contain DNA instructions to make proteins and determine inherited traits. Dominant alleles produce their trait when present in one copy, while recessive alleles require two copies to produce their trait. Genetic counseling helps people understand and adapt to genetic conditions by interpreting family histories, providing education, and promoting informed choices. It involves pre-test counseling to provide informed consent and post-test counseling to disclose and discuss test results and follow-up plans. Genetic counselors are specially trained to obtain risk assessments, explain adjusted cancer risks based on family history and tests, and provide information and support for inherited predispositions.Dasen brajkovic is an experienced teacher

This document discusses strategies for improving primary care services with limited resources. It suggests that primary care centers should employ vocationally trained GPs with special interests, provide open access to services like radiology and phlebotomy, increase patient education, improve IT infrastructure, offer non-medical therapies, and strengthen referral pathways. The goal is to better manage patient expectations and needs, reduce medical inflation and workload on hospitals, and improve overall health outcomes with scarce resources.Molly Bacon-Resume without references
