..In the proposal for this course, I envisioned the following as possible areas of inquiry that students might engage in for their final research papers. These areas of inquiry are only suggestions, and you are not bound to conduct your research in any of them – in fact, you may already have a preliminary focus for your paper. Nonetheless, I suspect that many of you may have a topic idea that is related in some manner to those below:The impact of doctor-patient relationships on recovery timesFollow-up care and healing in relationship to patient perceptions of degree\/quality of care and physician supportTraditional and non-traditional models of bedside manner and its impact on patient wellness (possible cross-cultural examinations)Professional development and emerging models of patient-doctor relationshipsSocioeconomic, racial, gender, sexuality and other factors that impact access, delivery and level of care providedGovernmental and legal dictates and their impact on the doctor-patient relationshipComponents of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that implicate, intervene and impact the patient-doctor relationshipInsurance companies and their role and impact on managing the doctor-patient relationship_______________________________________________________________________________________Instructions for Journal 4: For this journal, I would like you to place your preliminary topic in one of the general areas of inquiry above. In what ways is your topic related? Try to find even the slightest connection and give examples and a rationale for why your topic fits with one of the above. If you are unsure of a topic at present, that is fine as well. In such case, consider what area you may be interested in researching at this early stage in the process – you can change your mind later.Additionally, some of your topics will inevitably connect to other disciplines\/fields: law, communication studies, psychology, sociology, cross-cultural studies, literature, etc. Please consider these, and other academic fields, and explore at least two connections. For example, you may want to look at communication styles when examining how doctors speak to patients; this would fall under communications studies, and perhaps psychology.Your journal should be at least two well written paragraphs exploring the above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
