Differences between the student health services and the student-run clinic
Since Oregon State already has a Student health services, there will be a new extension to the health services, which will be a student-run facility. Oregon State University has provided help for clinical assistance, however it has not helped to develop the experience of health field students. The student health services will be thrown to the ground. The new student-run clinic will be built in the same area and will have some extra extensions then what the student health services had. The new facility will be bigger. There will be more opportunities for students to get involved and experience the health career by assisting a doctor.

health services and the new student-run facility will be that the main priority and the mission of the clinic is to provide the patients with the best assistance and to make sure the get the best treatment. The differences will be that the student-run facility will include more student involvement and there will be more assistance from specialist. There are going to be different types of doctors from dental hygienist, medical doctors, physician assistant and so much more. Payment for the clinic facility The proposal is to have students run a clinic facility, however, who will be responsible for the payments of the facility. The new facility will still be part of the university. Oregon State will pay for the new extension of the health services. The university will receive grants and foundations that will help out with the new building and for the materials needed. Some of the grants and foundations that the university will received are from the government and the community. The university will provide the same amount of money as when the student health services was on campus. However, there will need to be some extra money funded into the facility because the building will be bigger than the original student health services. There will also need to be money to pay for the certified classes that students will need in order to volunteer. All of these payments will be paid by the university. Donations and similar donations that other facilities have received. Donations will also be made to the facility. There will be an online page in the university's web site where the community, organizations, students or anyone who wants to help out can donate. However, they are always welcome to donate at the facility as well. There are many organizations and communities that are willing to donate to student-run facilities. The university of California, San Diego has received multiple help from different foundations. Some of those foundations are the James Irvine foundation, WebMD Health foundation, Alliance Healthcare foundation, University of California San Diego school of medicine and so much more (UCSD School of Medicine, 2016). Some donations that had been made to this university are from Baker Elementary School, Burkhart Dental Supply Company, and California Professional Labowners Association (UCSD School of Medicine, 2016). Many donations that are made are from places that are not related to the health field, but these organizations help these student-run facilities. The new student-run clinic facility that will replace the student health services at Oregon State University can have many supporters who want to donate and help the facility. Donations are made throughout clinic facilities. A donation of $150,000 was given to the Jackson Free Clinic by the Health Management Associates (Mazurak, 2012). The donation has increased on the benefits that the clinic will provide. The Jackson Free Clinic only used half a space for the medical assistance. With the $150,000, the clinic will expand and have more examination rooms (Mazurak, 2012). The clinic provides many services, such as lab work, health education, medications, and services (Mazurak, 2012). The money that was donated will upgrade many services and satisfy the patients. The donation was made to the clinic because of their services with the health care. The Jackson Free clinic also received a donation of $50,000 from the University of MIssissippi School of Health Related Professions (Mazurak, 2012). Donations are made to the student-run clinics because communities, organizations and individuals want to help the facilities and provide medical assistance to people. What are the expenses that will be made Oregon State requires students to pay a fee in their tuition for the student health services. The annual fee for the student health services is 289.26 dollars for an undergraduate student and its 96.42 for each term (Office of Budget & Fiscal Planning, 2016). These fees will maintain the same for the new student-run clinic facility. The university will provide funds for the clinic facility and will administered the salaries of the professional doctors. The annual pay for the faculty will be 2,194,960 dollars (Student Health Services, 2014). The student health services paid 195,306 dollars to students, however the new clinic facility will not pay any students who are working as secretaries or helping out in the facility because they will be volunteers (Student Health Services, 2014). Students who volunteer alongside doctors will also not get paid since they will be paying off what the facility paid for their certification classes by putting in volunteer hours. The money that has been used in the past to pay the faculty who are students will be utilized as extra money for other expenses or for the certified classes. Description of other student-run clinic facilities The new facility at Oregon State will help students to shadow doctors and get the sense of how it feels to work in the health field.
However, there are other universities who also have student-run facilities. The University of California, San Diego has a clinic project. In this clinic, the students provide help to individuals who do not have access to any health care (UCSD School of Medicine, 2016). The USCD student-run free clinic project offers medical services, dental services, social and community services, health counseling and education services (UCSD School of Medicine, 2016). In this clinic the students gain experience in primary care, learn the aspect of a clinic and the services administered to a patient (UCSD School of Medicine, 2016).
The similarities between other facilities and the clinic that will be at the university will be that students will be gaining experience by receiving help from a specialist. These facilities are free and will help individuals who need primary health care. The USCD student-run clinic and the facility at OSU both have dental services. However, although both facilities have similarities in their services, the USCD and OSU clinic facilities will be helping those who are in need of free health

care. Another student-run clinic facility is the University of Michigan. The student-run facility provides medical assistance to patients who are uninsured and have a low-income status (Xu, 2013). The medical student at the University of Michigan are responsible for the facility and everything that goes on. They do physical examinations and make appointments to patients (Xu, 2013). They make sure that they understand what the health problem is for the patient before continuing with treatment (Xu, 2013). The University of Michigan decided to have a student-run clinic because most individuals do not have money to see a doctor and decide to avoid any health problems (Xu, 2013). However, at times, health issues can become serious and late to treat. Since these facilities are free, low-income patients can get treated with the help of students. The overall statistics of student-run clinic facilities According to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, there are 111 student-run clinic facilities in 25 states (2013).
There is a 95% of pre-medical students who volunteer at the the facilities and a 77% of medical students (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 2013). Most students who volunteer are in their first and second years with a percentage rate of 25 (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 2013). The third and fourth years have a 20% rate (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 2013). There are approximately 37% of graduate volunteers students and 35% of undergraduate students (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 2013). Since these clinics do not ask for any insurance and are free for anyone with any health problems, there are some statistical information that the University of Pennsylvania gathered of patients who use the free clinic facilities the most. Hispanics and African-Americans are the most common type of patients with a 31%. Caucasians have a 25% and Asians a 11% (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 2013). These student-run clinic facilities have been increasing and growing throughout the United
States. The satisfaction of patients There was a study that was conducted on the satisfaction of patients who went to a free student-run clinic. The study was conducted at the C.A.R.E.S clinic, which is a student-run clinic facility by the Medical University of South Carolina (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). The study was administered for about four weeks during the year of 2007 (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). The C.A.R.E.S clinic sees approximately 60 patients and 52 of them were surveyed with a questionnaire on their satisfaction with a student-run clinic facility (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). Based on the questionnaires, most patients were satisfied with a 98% (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). They were pleased with the laboratory work, the services of the students and the generosity of the faculty (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). However, patients were not as satisfied when they had to wait for assistance and operations (Ellett, Campbell, & Gonsalves, 2010). Overall, the satisfaction of patients were positive and their experience with the student-run facility was good. The involvement in the facility can help students A study was established to understand the attitudes of students who are involved in student-run clinic facilities and their interest in the health field. The study was conducted with the university of California, San Diego. There has been an 88% increase in involvement of first year medical students and a 90% of overall medical students who have become involved with the clinic (Smith, Yoon, Johnson, Natarajan, & Beck, 2014). The University of California started their student-run clinic project in 1997 and since then, there has been over 1,700 students who have been involved and gained experience in the clinic (Smith, Yoon, Johnson, Natarajan, & Beck, 2014). The study demonstrated that students who get involved with student-run clinics can increase their knowledge, skills, attitudes and gain an interest for the work environment and the health field (Smith, Yoon, Johnson, Natarajan, & Beck, 2014). Positive effects that will be developed to the programs at OSU Students who undergo the process to volunteer at the student-run clinic facility will gain many opportunities. Professional schools for the medical field require students to get involved in the community and on the health field. The student-run clinic facility will require students who want to volunteer to attend free certify classes. Once having the certification, students can use it in the clinic and may even used it elsewhere. Volunteering at the facility will help students to gain experience on the field of work and on how a clinic is operated. They will also get to use life experiences by doing hands on. This volunteer experience will provide a great support for applications to medical schools. Programs at Oregon State University can benefit from a student-run clinical facility. The development of medical and dental programs can use this facility to help them connect with volunteer opportunities and make observations. These experiences with the facility can even increase the rate of medical and dental programs. However, the experience can also help students to know if the health career is what they really want to do. The OSU pre-med guide demonstrates how connecting with doctors and gaining experience can help a student develop knowledge before going into medical school (Oregon State University, 2016). The guide also explains that students can achieve teamwork, leadership, and professionalism by volunteering (Oregon State University, 2016). These different developments can positively affect medical and dental programs at Oregon State University. Having help with grants, funds, and donations, a student-run clinic facility can be possible. Due to the statistical results, a student-run facility can achieve many great satisfactions to patients. It can also develop positive effects for students who are involved. Having help from others and seeing the development of other clinic facilities that have been successful can help out the new student-run facility at Oregon State University.
The University of Phoenix Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration (BSHA) program is intended to support the educational and career progression needs of both trying and experienced health care professionals through complete and coordinated learning. Students concentrate on creating key market-driven abilities and aptitudes which address the opportunities and difficulties of an ever-changing health care industry. There are six student learning outcomes that faculty and staff hope for all students in the program to accomplish. These SLO’s are evaluation statements that test the knowledge of the student. If the student can effectively analyze and apply the outcome in relation to the degree program, the student and faculty has successfully

There has been a shortage of physicians, lack of inpatient beds, problems with ambulatory services, as well as not having proper methods of dealing with patient overflow, all in the past 10 years (Cummings & francescutti, 2006, p.101). The area of concern that have been worse...
The knowledge that I will obtain in the public health portion of the program will allow me to be better prepared to understand the social and environmental determinants of health that contribute to the development of diseases, and this will allow me to care for my patients more effectively. As these and other public health issues become more prominent, having a well-trained workforce that is equipped to address community-level health concerns is vital. As a profession, PAs are well educated as primary care clinicians and are able to handle a wide variety of common health care disorders. Adding a master’s degree in public health equips PAs with an expanded skill set which can be used to manage the health of entire communities, specifically those which are
In the Dental Hygiene field, many challenges come about every day and during different situations. Every day there are new challenges and unusual situations that occur in the dental field, but one challenge that continues to come about and has been a big dispute over the years is the ability to provide beneficial information about oral health care for the underprivileged. For the individuals that are not fortunate enough to pay to have services done in the dental office, lack the knowledge of how important good oral health care is. They do not receive the one on one conversations explaining the significance of taking care of your teeth and gums that the patients who can afford to make appointments and receive essential services do. That
For undergraduate students looking to pursue a career in medicine, medical school can be a daunting financial endeavor. The Health Professions Scholarship Program is a military scholarship offered by the Army, Navy, and Air Force that covers all tuition and fees for one to four years at any accredited medical school or other qualifying professional program. The scholarship also gives the student a stipend for living expenses. In return for the aide, students incur an obligation to the military; students must serve one year of active duty and one year of Inactive Ready Reserve for each year they receive the scholarship. The student will also have to apply
When working with children it is vital we have a good understanding of the principles and values such as United Nations Children’s Rights Convention. The Foundation Phase curriculum promotes equality of opportunity and values, and celebrates diversity.’ (Foundation Phase revised curriculum, 2015) whereas the UNCRC focuses on the rights of the child, these rights underpins everything that practitioners do in the setting. Alternatively the Foundation Phase is a framework that is used to plan for children’s play and learning but gives us many opportunities to celebrate diversity and promote an inclusive and equal setting.
Organizational philosophy commits in establishing a high quality program that will be of distinct benefit to the community, as well as the medical staff. Mission consists of high patient satisfaction, compassion, reduction in medical errors, proper medical decisions, and patient education. For this reason, leadership is seeking the interest and commitment for expansion of a JRU to establish a program that is compatible with goals for quality, cost-effectiveness, and growth within the most efficient period.
Nursing students at State University need better clinical experiences and better clinical sites. Clinical sites that have nothing to do or preceptors who don’t want to educate should be cut out and replaced with better sites. Ideally each clinical should allow nursing students to gain experience in critical skills and patient ca...
The U.S. population should be aware how important it is for doctors to maintain a strong relationship with minority patients. “One in three residents of the U.S. identify as either African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino or multiracial. By the year 2050, the number of minorities is expected to be one in two” (Eliminating Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Health Care: What are the Options?” 2008). The rate of minorities is increasing rapidly throughout America; therefore, white doctors are being exposed to more minorities than in the past. Since minorities will make up most of the U.S. in the upcoming decades, doctors need to learn how to give these groups the best health care possible. Most doctors are familiar with treating patients that are their own race, so doctors need to learn how to treat patients who are different from them since the rate of these groups are going up. Since so many minority patients are not satisfi...
...inical therapy that I have learned throughout the program. As a dental hygiene student I’m already implementing ethical, legal and regulatory concepts for the provision of dental hygiene process of care, and I will utilize this foundation to throughout my career as a professional oral health care provider. In addition, as dental hygienist I will pursue life-long learning to provide client care based decisions using the most current evidence-based research. Thus I pledge to continue to learn and expand my skills and knowledge throughout my career. Graduating from CADH has provided me with great academic knowledge and clinical skills necessary to apply the concepts of health promotion and disease prevention. The experience that I have acquired at CADH will allow me to provide client specific, empathetic, empathetic and suitable treatment to all of my future clients.
Today healthcare cost is constantly rising. It is important to ensure that patient 's health are maintained and supported outside the clinical settings such as their homes and communities. Healthcare organizations play an important role in serving people to provide an effective health care and improve the patients ' outcome. They focus on activities and strategies to provide a high quality care for many communities. This is their way of helping people and their community healthy. Organizations have a way of improving the patient 's outcome through monitoring of patients especially those who have high medical needs.
If CADH students will not be attending their duty scheduled rotations for screenings along with mentoring on time, our faculty could lose trust in us students and our clients could lose trust in the school as a professional health care setting. This could potentially result heaving our clients choosing another dental office or at worse not to resume treatment with the school. Without a duty student present on time for clinic, the clinic would not run smoothly and organized as it requires to be. Such actions are not fair for the students and faculty, therefore duty students must appear on time and be present at clinical time as assigned to them. Thus time management and readiness is crucial in any dental care
The portions best parallel to the objectives of the Triple Aim are Education and Integration. Along with strategies to increase translational and transformative medical/biomedical education, the hospital also plans to advance interdisciplinary teams of physicians, nursing, pharmacy, public health; advancing staff and faculty development, and increasing space for training, are key aspects of creating a workforce more versatile and apt to enhancing health care services (John Hopkins Medicine, 2013, p.9). Objectives also include funding an assessment and evaluation office to maintain and track student performance and create electronic portfolios for all students and graduates to monitor the progress and performance of enrollees. With an impressive culture that encompasses advancing the expertise and knowledge of the health care workforce, provides support to the health care worker shortages that are seen and improves access to services and also the quality of care provided for
Pursuing a career in the dental public health field was a decision influenced by many factors starting by my passion for research.
