was during my first semester final exam in the veterinary school as the first year veterinary student. I still clearly remember some of my classmates who had pale faces, dilated pupil, with strange and unusual behavior. Since then I learned that drug abuse is not only common during the final exams, but it is quite common in the veterinary profession as well. The addiction and drug abuse in the veterinary profession necessitates us, as the profession, to address and answer a couple important questions
PART A: Health Issues in Professional Practice Suicide in the Veterinary Profession a summary of: Bartram, D. and Baldwin, D. (2010). Veterinary surgeons and suicide: a structured review of possible influences on increased risk. Veterinary Record, 166(13), pp.388-397. As a profession, Veterinary surgeons have a proportional mortality ration (PMR) for suicide; twice the amount of healthcare professions and four times more likely than the general population. This paper reviews recent literature in
Mrs. Warren’s Profession Mrs. Warren’s profession, written by Mr. George Bernard Shaw, shows the world how women are being exploited through capitalism. The characters, stage, and themes make this an enjoyable play with a deep-rooted message. For example, during the 1800’s women could be employed as factory workers, bar maids, and prostitutes. Many opportunities afforded men were taboo for women. Men were able to attend college take the challenging subjects and get a degree. However, women could
Career Goals Over the past few decades, people have drastically changed the way they choose their career. Times have changed a great deal, and people no longer feel forced into a certain profession. People are now given endless choices and possibilities, and it is up to them to decide what they want to do the rest of their lives. When facing these important decisions, it is very easy to become confused. I once was very uncertain about any career goals I may have had, but now, I am more sure
Ron Hubbard, there are many discrediting facts and ideas about the religion that were found. It is these very facts that I will be listing that many of Scientology's greatest critics use to defend themselves (in the case of those in the medical professions ), or to explain why the religions ideas are simply not valid or untrue. A very widely used quote of L. Ron Hubbard is the following which was said in 1938 in a letter to his first wife ten years prior to the development of his religion. He
Professional competence can mean various things to different people. Competency in any career or profession has many basic requirements that are learned in a classroom environment as well as many essential elements that must be learned through formal, on-the-job training in order to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to function adequately as a professional in a workplace setting. Competency in the counseling field is not a ‘once learned, always known’ type of knowledge; it requires a combination
to Woolf, men and women exist in separate worlds, coexisting, but not interacting. Women live outside of the masculine spectrum of official schooling, professions, and, of course, war making. I beg to differ. Women have always interacted with men and live in the same world as their masculine counterparts even when it comes to schooling and professions, but especially when it comes to war. Women have always joined their brothers in the trade of war making and to deny their efforts and victories is to
The Degradation of Women in American Scholar In "The American Scholar," Ralph Waldo Emerson characterizes the nature of the American scholar in three categories: nature, books, and action. The scholar is one who nature mystifies, because one must be engrossed with nature before he can appreciate it. In nature, man learns to tie things together; trees sprout from roots, leaves grow on trees, and so on. Man learns how to classify the things in nature, which simplifies things in his mind (section
the outcome was after the movement, plus how those events are involved in today's society. The women of the post suffrage era would not have the ability to the wide variety of professions were it not for their successes in the political arena for that time. In the early 1900’s when women were barred from most professions and limited in the amount of money they could earn, a group of suffragists led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton started to develop the women into an influential and
Career Passports and Career Portfolios Portfolios have long been used in some professions to showcase professional work and skill. In education, portfolios have also been used for assessment, including self-assessment (Lankes 1995; Pond et al. 1998). Both career portfolios and career passports reflect this dual focus—students assess themselves in the process of developing a product, and the resulting product showcases and documents their experiences and skills. A distinction is sometimes drawn
College Sports: Paying Division One Athletes A huge debate has been on the rise lately relating to why division one athletes should get paid on top of obtaining a scholarship. The proposal states that athletes should be eligible to receive money based on a percentage of profit their school makes. Although some say division one athletes already have all of their needs taken care of, helping athletes with extra expenses in college is essential. Because full ride scholarships take care of most
considered a rarity in our times, women still face quite a deal of oppression in comparison to their male counterparts. In retrospect, some professions have always been controlled by women, and men have not made a noticeable advance in these fields. In 1970, finding a female lawyer to represent you would be a difficult task, since less than five percent of the profession were women. Today, that number has risen to almost thirty percent. The percentage of female doctors has almost tripled in the course of
Introduction The primary focus of this paper is to reflect on an E-learning staff development training event that I observed for the last six years as a participant. The E-learning training utilized the same method and the same material during this time. The staff development training is an annual requirement for teachers to complete before the beginning of each school year. This training was mandatory and supported the concept of safe schools. The objective of the training was highlighted, which

of Philosophy Gary Gutting would have readers of The Chronicle of Higher Education believe in his article “Why College Is Not a Commodity.” Although he makes many points that, if true, would be damning of the elementary and secondary teaching professions, Gutting stops short of proving his arguments logically or empirically. He claims today’s budding K-12 teachers often come from the bottom of the heap academically, directly leading to poor teaching—yet he provides no research to back up this connection
Professional development refers to a lifelong, systematic process whereby individuals and teams of individuals collective and collaborative learn by doing and working together to analyze and impact professional practices and procedures to improve student achievement through a daily job-embedded, learner-centered, focused approach. The purpose of professional development is to strategically and systematically increase student achievement through the implementation of a rigorous and relevant curriculum
in order to achieve their goals. Developing and performing as truly professionals is sometimes inherent in individuals. In order to develop as a professional it is important to first grow as a human being to use the right values and morals in the profession. A professional association has a true impact on guiding professional development. A professional association is an organization that unites professionals from a same field. A professional association is a synergistic group since the
Professional development deeps teachers understand of new teaching strategies or helps reinforce current teaching strategies. This is a time for teachers to grow as educators so they can help their students become more successful. When professional development is implemented correctly it can leave teacher feeling confident in their ability to implement new teaching techniques or it can leave teachers discourage and confused. Linda Darling-Hammond’s article discusses several different studies in professional

In Canada, the first association began in 1902 with the Dominion Association of Chartered Accountants (Buckstein, part 1 pg 2). Buckstein quoted John L. Carey, the author of a paper outlining the history of the accounting profession worldwide stated “the reason for creating a full-fledged professional organization was to distinguish skilled
The notion of professionalism is challenging to conceptualize as there is a stark difference between a professional and being professional. Professionalism is not a list of duties, but, rather, it is a way of behaving. This way of behaving consists not only of appearance, but, also manners, attitudes, communication and willingness to grow (Tipton, 2013). Professionalism is about having a set of internalized values that push us to behave in a manner which reflects the identity of a professional student
