Dentist

Duties and Responsibilities: Dentists are responsible for diagnosing and treating problems with the teeth, gums, and tissue in the mouth. These doctors instruct individuals on brushing, flossing, and all other aspects of dental care. Dentists will meet with patients in their office routinely and remove tooth decay, fill cavities, repair teeth, and treat gum diseases.

Salary: $72,420 $146,340

Education: According to the American Dental Association, www.ada.org, applicants are required to have a bachelor's degree before being admitted into dental school. Undergrads should focus on many science courses, like biology and chemistry. All applicants must take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT), and dental schools will focus an individual's DAT score, GPA, recommendations, and interviews. Dental school is a 4-year commitment and includes classes on microbiology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology, as well as clinical practices, safety, and professional ethics. Dentists are required to be licensed in the state they are working in, which requires passing a written and practical examination.

Skills Required

A career in dentistry requires excellent vision and an aesthetic eye regarding color, space, and shape. Dentists need business sense, communication skills, and self-discipline. These doctors also need to understand the use of dental equipment and know how to supervise hygienists, assistants, technicians, and receptionists.

Reflection: No I would like to be a dentist because it looks like hard work and you might hurt the person you are attending.

Feel Right

"You cannot do wrong and feel right it is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson

What i think about this quote is that when you do something wrong and don't feel bad about it later you will feel like wow i made a mistake and chose the wrong and now i feel bad.

Abraham Lincoln

''When I do good,i feel good. When i do bad, I feel bad."

What this quote means is that when you do something bad its choosing the  wrong and after your going to feel bad. But when you do good and choose the right you will feel good after. An example is When you do all your work and chores and obey everyone you will feel good and have freedom. But when you don't do you work , you fool , around , and don't obey any one you  will have no freedom, and will feel bad after.

Chiropractor

Duties and Responsibilities

Chiropractors also refer new or recurring patients for additional diagnosis or care from other medical providers. If a new patient comes in complaining of back issues, for instance, he may be sent for X-rays. Chiropractors sometimes collaborate in ongoing rehabilitation care with physical therapists and doctors. Additionally, chiropractors may have office administration duties. This work can be very involved and time consuming in individual practices, and moderate in group practices or clinics.

Salary

$136,591

Education

Educational requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of the health care professions.

The typical applicant at a chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding — four to five academic years of professional study are the standard. Because of the hands-on nature of chiropractic, and the intricate adjusting techniques, a significant portion of time is spent in clinical training.

Doctors of chiropractic — who are licensed to practice in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in many nations around the world — undergo a rigorous education in the healing sciences, similar to that of medical doctors. In some areas, such as anatomy, physiology, and rehabilitation, they receive more intensive education than most medical doctors or physical therapists

Reflection

I would like to be a Chiropractor because I could help people with the bones and when someone in the streets there bone hurts or muscle I can help them

"The key to freedom is obedience.The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have"

what this quote means is the the key to freedom is obedience. You always have to listen to others and respect others. Because when you choose the right you will have freedom later on. For example if you want to go play outside and you know you have to do your chores first and you do them, that's showing you have Obedience. An example on non obedience is that you don't do you chores or you homework you will not get freedom and that's non obedience. So when you show obedience you will have freedom and do what ever you want to do but then you don't show obedience you will not have freedom.

 

Cardiologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Cardiologists are licensed physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of heart and circulatory problems. Like other physicians, cardiologists need extensive education and training before they can be licensed in their fields. A bachelor's degree, followed by medical school and an internship or residency, is the standard preparation. Cardiologists go on to complete an accredited cardiology program and get a license to practice medicine from the state. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median pay for all physicians and surgeons, regardless of specialty, was $166,400 per year in 2010.

Salary: $461,000-$512,000

Education: First, an aspiring cardiologist must have a bachelor's degree in order to get into medical school. The most logical pre-med bachelor degrees include courses in chemistry, mathematics, engineering or psychology. Then one must gain a passing score on the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test).

The four years in medical school covers standard medical terminology, medical judgment and clinical standard procedures. Potential cardiologists who complete the ten years of educational preparation must then pass a certification exam administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Reflection: Yes I would like to be a Cardiologist because I would like to help people with their hart and its seems pretty awesome to learn and study about the hart.

Audiologist

Duties and responsibilities: Audiologists typically do the following:

·         Examine patients who have hearing, balance, or related ear problems

·         Assess the results of the examination and diagnose problems

·         Determine and administer treatment

·         Administer relief procedures for various forms of vertigo

·         Fit and dispense hearing aids

·         Counsel patients and their families on ways to listen and communicate, such as by lip reading or through American Sign Language

·         See patients regularly to check on hearing and balance and to continue or change the treatment plan

·         Keep records on the progress of patients

·         Conduct research related to the causes and treatment of hearing and balance disorders

Audiologists use audiometers, computers, and other devices to test patients' hearing ability and balance. They work to determine the extent of hearing damage and identify the underlying cause. Audiologists measure the volume at which a person begins to hear sounds and the person's ability to distinguish between sounds.

Before determining treatment options, they evaluate psychological information to measure the impact of hearing loss on a patient. Treatment may include cleaning wax out of ear canals, fitting and checking hearing aids, or fitting the patient with cochlear implants to improve hearing. Cochlear implants are tiny devices that are placed under the skin near the ear in an operation. The implants deliver electrical impulses directly to the auditory nerve in the brain, so a person with certain types of deafness can hear.

Audiologists also counsel patients on other ways to cope with profound hearing loss, such as by learning to lip read or by using American Sign Language. 

Audiologists can help a patient suffering from vertigo or dizziness. They work with patients and provide them with exercises involving head movement or positioning that might relieve some of their symptoms.

Some audiologists specialize in working with the elderly or with children. Others design products to help protect the hearing of workers on the job. Audiologists who are self-employed hire employees, keep records, order equipment and supplies, and complete other tasks related to running a business.

Salary: $63,640-74,913

Education: New audiologists must earn a doctorate in order to begin practicing. The doctoral degree in audiology (Aud.D.) is a four-year graduate program that you can enter while having a bachelor’s degree in any field.

Some audiology programs, like the one at the University of Washington, allow you to specialize in an area of interest, such as pediatric, geriatric or educational audiology. Your coursework will be more specialized accordingly.

Your coursework will include classes such as:

·         Anatomy and Physiology: Peripheral Hearing

·         Psychoacoustics

·         Signals, Systems & Acoustics for the Communication Sciences

·         Biological Foundations of Speech & Music

·         Amplification

·         Clinical Practice and Practicum

Typically, your first year or two will include observations, clinical orientation, a written qualifying exam and a practical assessment. Your third and/or fourth year will offer more hands-on experience through your externship, internship or other "capstone" style intensive project.

Reflection: Yes I would like to be a Audiologist because it seems like an easy job to do all you have to do is study the inside of the ear and how to the tools

That helps you see what’s going on in the ear and help the person.
