How have I prepared to enter a program which focuses on clinical research?\u00a0 What are your strengths and areas needing improvement? <\/p>\n
As a future PA, I am prepared to enter the Yale program which has a high regard for clinical research by participating in research activities driven by the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA).\u00a0 Viewing e-posters from research teams and thinking about possible solutions, can help improve my critical thinking skills and raise confidence.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
As a respiratory therapist, I am constantly researching new healthcare trends.\u00a0 Such as new ventilator modalities for the critically ill patient or finding the best bronchodilator treatment for severe status asthmaticus.\u00a0\u00a0
During my undergraduate\u00a0studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, my research project focused on smoking cessation education in the COPD ( Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ) patient;\u00a0Research was constantly integrated into the program.\u00a0\u00a0I was very interested in helping those who suffered with this condition, quit smoking.\u00a0 \u00a0I worked closely with Dr. Coyle, a prominent\u00a0anesthesiologist and Dr. Robert Lombard a renowned pulmonologist at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.\u00a0 I drafted an algorithm which could be used in conjunction with patient assessments.\u00a0 This would help the respiratory therapist assist with treatment, education , and management, of the COPD patient.\u00a0 Research procedures included data collection from surveys, interviews, patient findings being careful to comply with HIPAA. <\/p>\n
Strengths include:
CreativityDeterminationDedication
Weaknesses include:
1) \u201cAt times in the past, I’ve battled with confidence. It’s been beneficial for me to keep track of the effect I’ve had on my team and the project in order to better understand why I should be confident in the abilities and unique qualities I bring to the table. <\/p>\n
2)\u00a0\u00a0My biggest fault is that I spend too much time studying the technical nuances of a project and miss the important details. I’ve tried to better myself in this regard by making it a point to check in with myself often and allowing myself the opportunity to concentrate on the larger picture. Letting my attention go away from the specifics, thus ensuring quality, helps me stay on top of the rest of the project as well as my and the team’s capacity to make the deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
