“Visualization-Imagination: What you see is what you get”

Anonymous

I think that this quote means that if you see yourself succeeding then you will succeed and if you see yourself not succeeding you will fail. I guess I agree with this quote, if you see yourself one way then you will most likely end up that way. The reason for that is the way you imagine yourself is motivation. If you see yourself that way then you will be motivated to act or make decisions in that way.

Sonographer (Ultrasound Technician)

Duties:The ultrasound technician is responsible for creating images of patients’ internal organs and bones as well as blood vessels for the purpose of detecting abnormalities in the body that put the patients at risk of developing harmful diseases. He gives the ultrasound tests but he also examines them and then discusses the results with patients. Sometimes the technician may devise a treatment plan and refer the patient to another specialist for this treatment.

Salary: $22000

Education:Before starting a career in ultrasound technology, completing an education program from an Ultrasound Technician school will be required. Most often the training received will earn an Associate’s degree in the process and will prepare you to participate in certification exams. The training ensures you develop the required knowledge and skills for the job. Ultrasound Technician courses will include coursework anatomy and sciences in addition to training on ultrasound equipment and medical concepts. Also, valuable clinical experience will be gained by training first hand at the school’s partner hospitals alongside other professional ultrasound techs.

Reflection: I would not like to be a Sonographer because it seems completely out of my interests.

“A CTR Champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself.”

Noemi Trigueros

This quote is saying that in order for someone to become a CTR champion, they need to become a great person with good morals and aspirations. I agree with this quote because in order to become something bigger you need to do big things yourself. What bigger things are out there than to choose the right?

Research Scientist

Duties and Responsibilities: Medical research scientists devise and conduct experiments in order to increase the body of scientific knowledge on topics related to medicine. They also develop new, or improve existing, drugs, treatments or other medically related products. Medical research takes place in higher education institutions, research institutes, hospitals and industry. The level of research may be basic and involve investigating the underlying basis of health or disease or it may be more applied and include conducting clinical research, investigating methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human disorders. Research may be at the molecular level, carried out using appropriate cell and animal models, or human volunteers may be used to study the clinical effects of various factors

Salary: $80,000

Education: Although graduates entering this area of work traditionally have a degree in a medical or life science discipline, many areas of medical research now also need graduates in chemistry, physics or statistics/bioinformatics. Direct entry with only an HND or foundation degree to a research scientist role is not possible. Opportunities for HND or foundation degree holders may exist at technician level - see scientific laboratory technician - but progression to medical research scientist will require further qualifications. Some employers may allow you to study while working part time. An MSc or PhD is commonly required by employers for entry to this field, but opportunities at entry level without a postgraduate qualification do exist, particularly in industry. Career progression does usually require further qualifications though, particularly a PhD. The Medical Research Council (MRC) is the main funder of PhDs in medical science in the UK and in 2009/10 it supported more than 1,900 postgraduate students and spent around £86million on training awards. The MRC also funds collaborative studentships with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, which result in a PhD.

Reflection: I think it would be fun to become a Research Scientist. It sounds very interesting. But if I was to become one, I don’t think I would become a Medical Research Scientist because I am not particularly interested but I would become a Research Scientist for life science or physical science.

“Action is the foundational key to success.”

ANON

This quote means that in order for any success to happen you need to take action. You cannot have success with inaction, you might get peace but not success.

Respiratory Therapy Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities: Respiratory therapists care for patients who have trouble breathing—for example, from a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma or emphysema. Their patients range from premature infants with undeveloped lungs to elderly patients who have diseased lungs. They also provide emergency care to patients suffering from heart attacks, drowning, or shock.

Average Salary: $55,870

Educational Requirements: Respiratory therapists need at least an associate’s degree, but employers may prefer applicants who have a bachelor’s degree. Many colleges and universities, vocational–technical institutes, and the Armed Forces offer education and training programs. Most programs award an associate’s or bachelor’s degree.

Respiratory therapy programs include courses in human anatomy and physiology, chemistry, physics, microbiology, pharmacology, and mathematics. Other courses deal with therapeutic and diagnostic procedures and tests, equipment, patient assessment, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Reflection: I would never see myself as a Respiratory Therapy Assistant because it seems so distant from my interests and abilities.
