Fsm's Curriculum Analysis

Improved Essays
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine’s new curriculum resonates with my belief that the ultimate way to be an effective learner and successful physician is by integrating clinical experience from day one. Because I am a kinesthetic and visual learner, I acquire information more effectively when exposed to hands-on experiences. I find that my recall and problem solving skills are strengthened when I am capable of connecting the theoretical concepts with real-life applications. Also, early exposure to clinical practice will allow me to experience different specialties and it will help me discover whether my passion lies in teaching and research or clinical practice. One outstanding feature of FSM’s curriculum is its learning

    During nursing school, pediatrics and med-surg were my two of my most favorite classes. Not only was I interested in the material that was being taught, I was able to store that information in my long term memory. Being able to understand the process and connect the dots helped me to do well in both of those classes. I used that knowledge during my pediatric rotations at Cook Children’s and was able to determine why the patients experienced certain symptoms and what methods of treatment they need.…

    According to Joshua McLaurin, Principal at Anson Middle School (AMS), the principal’s involvement in the curriculum is a top priority. When Common Core State Standards were adopted, principals worked with teachers on curriculum design. Using information provided by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, teachers created syllabi, learning units, pacing guides, and assessments that were horizontally and vertically aligned by subject. Principals provided guidance and support throughout this process. Curriculum delivery is the responsibility of every teacher.…

    I’ve had a variety of exposures to healthcare. I’ve worked in locations ranging from medically isolated villages in rural Africa to urban clinics in the United States, and I’ve been guided by physicians representing disciplines such as family medicine, infectious disease, and pediatrics. Just as diversity is essential to medicine, a diverse range of exposures is equally important for a medical student. The reason I am most interested in the Columbia-Bassett program is because it will provide me with a unique opportunity to learn about health care in two very different environments. This will enrich my capacity to work as a physician.…

    I have had multiple experiences that have involved direct exposure to physicians' clinical duties. The most important experience is an internship that I participated in, in the summer of 2014. In this internship, I was able to shadow many different doctors in a variety of specialties. I followed several nephrologists, transplant and general surgeons, pathologists, pediatric intensivists, and obstetricians. I was able to see what their day-to-day duties entailed and how they interacted with other healthcare providers.…

    All medical professionals face the same initial challenge―school. While some medical professions require a minimum of a high school degree and a year of training, such as personal care aids, the majority of aspiring medical students must study for at least four years before training. Physicians, such as surgeons and anesthesiologists, must study at a medical school and go through residency, where one practices medicine upon supervision. Likewise, medical professionals must become board certified prior to their practice.…

    In 2008, one of the overarching goals of the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs [MCEETYA], 2008) was to deliver a world–class curriculum that included a focus on student social and emotional health and wellbeing. As a result, the Australian Curriculum (AC) incorporated Health and Physical Education (HPE) as one of eight key learning areas (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2015), which nurtures fundamental concepts students will need to become healthy, safe and active Australian citizens. Safety is a critical area addressed in the HOE curriculum, and the four lesson plans below look at building on students’…

    Much of my original decision to go into medicine was based on my love of science and thinking that medicine is the only thing you can do with a biology degree. At the time, I didn’t know much about the experience and role of a physician and real patient care. I only knew from what I saw from television shows and how people described being a doctor online. Through my time in college, I have learned of the many different career opportunities for people to use and continue to develop their knowledge of science. However, the more I learn about what the career and life of a physician is like, the more I am drawn to the opportunity of being a…

    For a child with an interest in all that is scientific and challenging, who finds himself in the realm of math problems and physics theories, who spent his summer days reading books, and pondering on issues that were way beyond him, it was never an easy decision to become a doctor, as a matter of fact, it was scary. I was always wondering, would I ever enjoy this, would I ever be able to meet patients, ask them questions, measure their pulse, or feel their abdomens? would I have what it takes to hold their hands and console them? tell them that I would do everything possible to make them feel better? Those questions haunted me until the very first day I walked into the pediatric ward.…

    When I look at the environment, I see a living organism. Like any organism, it responds to stimuli, positively and negatively. Currently, as the human population grows, it appears that the environment is becoming sick, needing to be healed. The best way to do that is by caring for it like a doctor cares for their patient, or in this case, an ecologist for the environment. Growing up in a family of healthcare providers, I was exposed to the nitty gritty of what actually happens in a hospital or clinic, and quite frankly, it has interested me.…

    One must be able to perform consistently at a high standard while absorbing vast amounts of information. I believe the last 3 years as a full-time working mother and student have prepared me to do just that. While working 40-50 hours a week, taking classes in the evenings, and managing my household, I’ve had to learn excellent time management skills and how to rapidly learn key concepts and details in the limited time that I had to study. I’ve become highly organized in managing my $21 million per year sales territory, my coursework, all while finding time to spend with my children. Given that I have consistently achieved my goals in all three areas, I know that I am ready to take on the exciting challenges of a physician assistant program.…
