"Become a General Practitioner - Careers - The College Board." Big Future by The College Board. The College Board, n.d. Web. 2 Nov. 2015. The College Board’s website page for a career as a general practitioner was divided into five sections. These sections explain what one should be ready for as a general practitioner, the characteristics and strengths that general practitioners have, how to prepare for the career in high school, the job outlook, and compensation. This website provides an overview of becoming a general practitioner; however, it does not go into extensive detail.

The NHS: A System in Crisis? Can you imagine a Britain without its National Health Service of which we used to be so rightly proud? When it was inaugurated on July 5th 1948 by Aneurin Bevan , Minister of Health, there was great rejoicing and the demand was inconceivable because its main principle was to meet the needs of the entire population. Can we honestly say that it still achieves these goals? Although I agree that the NHS has laudable aims, it is surely obvious that so many years later…

That first moment when the doctor is walking in, but then we realize they are not a doctor. They introduce themselves as a Nurse Practitioner and this catches us off guard. Why am I not seeing an actual doctor? Is this nurse qualified enough to be trusted with my health? At first we are annoyed with this fact but we are there for reason so let us get on with it. We talk to them, express our concerns and they listen. We slowly start to realize they are truly listening to our concerns and working…

want money worries to be the highlight of my every day. For that reason, I chose to attend college so that I could get a good job. My family has also had a lot of health issues among the eight of us; this also helped me to decide what career path I wanted to follow. I want to make an above average income of $60,000 per year or more. I also wanted to be sure that I could have vacation time and I liked the idea of potentially working nights. I decided to pursue a medical path, more specifically a…

period. However, a midwife is different from a physician. Midwives are trained regarding pregnancies and childbirths but do not go to medical; they do not carry the title of a doctor. The most traditional birth attendants in the late nineteenth-century were the neighbor-woman midwives; they act “as midwives to their own family or nearby friends in the absence of a trained attendant, and their knowledge was entirely self-regulated” (Borst, pg. 17). Since neighbor-woman midwives were limited in…

Practices that do not meet the requirements would have to repay all or a portion of the prepaid amount, keeping practices “at risk” for the amounts prepaid. The quality component will be based on performance on electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) metrics. ACCESS TO CARE: When patients have access to primary care services, visits to emergency rooms and urgent care facilities can be avoided. Ensuring continuity of care…

A family practitioner is known as the first pathway for everyday people to call when any member of the family is sick; a physician who specializes in caring for the entire family, no matter the age or gender. They diagnose and treat a variety of medical issues, but if the problem extends their knowledge the physician will refer the patient to an outside specialist. They monitor the development and overall health of their patients regardless of their current medical state, these visits are…

We as physicians can be a tough lot of people. Let’s face it, we had to be to make it through medical school and our fellowship sane and ready to help others. Often, this can lead to a syndrome of not taking the proper care of ourselves, and in some cases, being accused of being horrible patients when the physical effects of not taking care of ourselves start to manifest. Physician burnout can be a real concern for all physicians because of the type of job we take on. We want to be able to…
