MEDICAL IMAGING THROUGH HEALTHCARE MEDICAL IMAGING THROUGH HEALTHCARE Medical Imaging Through Healthcare Your Name Houston Community College EDUC 1300 February 2, 2018 Medical Imagining Through Healthcare When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year.

I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95.

Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took The Clifton Strengths Assessment for Students, my top trait was a relator, which means I excel in developing relationships and I am able to make people realize how much I care about them. My other four strengths were arranger, meaning I am very organized, deliberative, meaning I anticipate obstacles and am a good decision maker, responsibility, meaning I take ownership of my actions and am committed to my values, and lastly consistency, which means I make a strong point to treat everyone equally and thrive under routine behavior (Clifton, 2019). I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step.

Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved. Job Responsibilities A Radiologist is a medical professional who specializes in medical imaging to make a diagnosis. A radiologist main job responsibility is to comprehend and interpret diagnostic imagining which may include; CT scans (Computed tomography), MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018).

The main function of a CT scan is to create a 3-D image through the use of x-rays. An MRI, however, uses magnetic fields to create a more detailed image that shows soft tissue, joint, tendons and ligaments. Ultrasounds use sound waves to view the internal structure/organs inside of the body (WebMD, 2018). According to Occupational Outlook Handbook (2018), the expected employment growth rate between is 13%, Occupational Outlook Handbook (2018), the expected employment growth rate between is 13%, and the median wage of a physician is equal to or greater than 8,000 per year. Education To become a radiologist, not only will you need several years of education, but it also takes several years of practice.

According to Occupational Outlook Handbook (2018), your first step is to acquire a bachelor's degree from a university. This bachelor's degree doesn’t necessarily have to be health related. You just have to make sure you take the prerequisites the medical school requires. During your last 2 years of college, you should begin studying for the MCAT, which is an exam you have to take to apply to medical school. Medical school consist of a total of 4 years in which the first two years you will be mostly learning from lecture, while the last two you will begin medical rotations.

After medical school, you will need to take 4 years of radiology residence and finally a 1-2 years fellowship (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2018).

Lifestyle The lifestyle I intend to live is one that'll allow me to support my future family. I plan on having 1-2 children and according to Texas Reality Check (2016), it'll cost about $2,162 every month to support them. Because I plan on having a family, I plan to live in a home that'll cost about $1,285 a month.

Some necessary expenses include: utilities, food, transportation, clothing, health care, and student debt. These overall expenses come out to about $2,429 a month. Which leaves personal care, entertainment, miscellaneous, and savings, and that comes out to $672 a month. In full, my monthly expenses come out to $6,548, which gives me a total of $98,220 annual expenses. The national annual salary of a physician is about $208,000 so because of this, I should have enough money to maintain the lifestyle I plan on living.

The remaining balance will go towards an emergency fund, retirement savings, college fund and vacation. Expected Expenses When comparing the annual salary needed to maintain my future lifestyle, I was taken back by the cost difference required to live in different parts of the US. For example, in Houston TX, I need about $100,000 a year. According to Cable News Network (2018), to live in San Antonio, TX I need about $90,000 to maintain the same lifestyle. This is due to the 1% decrease in groceries, 26% decrease in housing, 21% decrease in utilities, 5% decrease in transportation, and 3% decrease in healthcare.

I chose San Antonio because before I moved to Houston, I lived in San Antonio and I really enjoyed living there. However, if I wanted to live in San Diego, CA, because of the beautiful beaches and scenery, the cost of living dramatically increases to about $150,000. This is due to the 32% increase in groceries, 127% increase in housing, 6% increase in utilities, 26% increase in transportation, and 17% increase in healthcare. I have a lot of my family living in New York so I was curious to see how much it would cost me to live in Manhattan, NY. It would take about $250,000 to live in New York.

It absolutely blew my mind to see that just the housing difference from Houston to New York increases by 372%! Other contributing factors included the 59% increase in groceries, 33% increase in transportation, and 26% increase in healthcare. It was shocking to see how the cost of living is so dependent on your geographic location. Volunteering Because I plan on pursuing a medical profession, volunteering is a lot easier to find than other professions. When I looked on VolunteerMatch (2018), I found over 91 opportunities near Katy, TX.

A majority only required skills on relationship building, customer service, and community outreach. The three that stood out to me the most were: Aromatherapy Program for hospice patients, BINGO with patients of disabilities at Vita-Living, and the Hospice plus internship, externship, and practicum. Although I think Volunteer Match is very helpful, I think it's more beneficial to go to the nearest hospital to you and ask about volunteer opportunities. Because you are face to face with the medical professions, it shows that you are genuinely interested in not only learning more about the medical professions but also that you're interested in helping out the community. Strong medical school applicants also have several hours of volunteer work on their resumes.

Long-term Goals My long-term career goal is to become a medical professional, but more specifically a Radiologist by 2032. It'll take me a total of about 14 years to become a radiologist in which I will be around 32. In order to make this dream into a reality, I will need to work very hard. The first step I need to take is to complete college with an excellent GPA. The second step is to study a lot for the MCAT and be accepted into medical school.

The last step is to work hard in med. school and maintain a high GPA to become a competitive applicant for residency. Once all of these steps are complete, I should be well on my way to becoming a radiologist. Now I completely understand that life may not always go the way we plan, and I need to understand that it will not be easy. But if this is something that makes me happy, then I will work hard and in the end my efforts will all be worth it. Some obstacles I may find myself having to overcome may include time management issues, distractions, and procrastination.

To overcome these obstacles, I must remember my goals and surround myself with positive people who support me. My life will be everything I've pictured it to be when I not only enjoy my job but also get to come home to my beautiful family. References Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor. (2018).

Researches have shown that women and men of all ages depend on the internet for their sexual needs. Over time heterosexuality emerges, and now homosexuality, bisexuality, and asexuality have become common. The complexity of sexuality can be understood in numerous ways, such as social, biological, and environmental. This paper will focus on the social dimension of the complexity of sexuality—the structure and acceptance of sexuality in society and how these complex structures are prevailing in our society. Identities and voices of different sexual groups are emerging, such as Lesbian, LGBTQ, and homosexual groups.

Society is accepting their rights and raising voices for them. Sexual orientation is used as a scale to measure sexual identities or differentiate between attractions towards men or women. There are researches available that address the emergence of different sexual identities that will guide this paper and its claim that the concept of sexuality is becoming complex. The role of society and the internet would be evaluated because the internet makes it easy to express and explore one's sexuality without having fewer personal complications.

For the research, I will make use of e-books, peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly articles to gather as much information as possible.

Moreover, the research will shed more light in why people of specific sexuality behave the way they do in most cases differing from people of a different sexuality.

,429 a month. Which leaves personal care, entertainment, miscellaneous, and savings, and that comes out to 2 a month. In full, my monthly expenses come out to ,548, which gives me a total of ,220 annual expenses. The national annual salary of a physician is about 8,000 so because of this, I should have enough money to maintain the lifestyle I plan on living.

The remaining balance will go towards an emergency fund, retirement savings, college fund and vacation. Expected Expenses When comparing the annual salary needed to maintain my future lifestyle, I was taken back by the cost difference required to live in different parts of the US. For example, in Houston TX, I need about 0,000 a year. According to Cable News Network (2018), to live in San Antonio, TX I need about ,000 to maintain the same lifestyle. This is due to the 1% decrease in groceries, 26% decrease in housing, 21% decrease in utilities, 5% decrease in transportation, and 3% decrease in healthcare.

I chose San Antonio because before I moved to Houston, I lived in San Antonio and I really enjoyed living there. However, if I wanted to live in San Diego, CA, because of the beautiful beaches and scenery, the cost of living dramatically increases to about 0,000. This is due to the 32% increase in groceries, 127% increase in housing, 6% increase in utilities, 26% increase in transportation, and 17% increase in healthcare. I have a lot of my family living in New York so I was curious to see how much it would cost me to live in Manhattan, NY. It would take about 0,000 to live in New York.

It absolutely blew my mind to see that just the housing difference from Houston to New York increases by 372%! Other contributing factors included the 59% increase in groceries, 33% increase in transportation, and 26% increase in healthcare. It was shocking to see how the cost of living is so dependent on your geographic location. Volunteering Because I plan on pursuing a medical profession, volunteering is a lot easier to find than other professions. When I looked on VolunteerMatch (2018), I found over 91 opportunities near Katy, TX.

A majority only required skills on relationship building, customer service, and community outreach. The three that stood out to me the most were: Aromatherapy Program for hospice patients, BINGO with patients of disabilities at Vita-Living, and the Hospice plus internship, externship, and practicum. Although I think Volunteer Match is very helpful, I think it's more beneficial to go to the nearest hospital to you and ask about volunteer opportunities. Because you are face to face with the medical professions, it shows that you are genuinely interested in not only learning more about the medical professions but also that you're interested in helping out the community. Strong medical school applicants also have several hours of volunteer work on their resumes.

Long-term Goals My long-term career goal is to become a medical professional, but more specifically a Radiologist by 2032. It'll take me a total of about 14 years to become a radiologist in which I will be around 32. In order to make this dream into a reality, I will need to work very hard. The first step I need to take is to complete college with an excellent GPA. The second step is to study a lot for the MCAT and be accepted into medical school.

The last step is to work hard in med. school and maintain a high GPA to become a competitive applicant for residency. Once all of these steps are complete, I should be well on my way to becoming a radiologist. Now I completely understand that life may not always go the way we plan, and I need to understand that it will not be easy. But if this is something that makes me happy, then I will work hard and in the end my efforts will all be worth it. Some obstacles I may find myself having to overcome may include time management issues, distractions, and procrastination.

To overcome these obstacles, I must remember my goals and surround myself with positive people who support me. My life will be everything I've pictured it to be when I not only enjoy my job but also get to come home to my beautiful family. References Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor. (2018).

Researches have shown that women and men of all ages depend on the internet for their sexual needs. Over time heterosexuality emerges, and now homosexuality, bisexuality, and asexuality have become common. The complexity of sexuality can be understood in numerous ways, such as social, biological, and environmental. This paper will focus on the social dimension of the complexity of sexuality—the structure and acceptance of sexuality in society and how these complex structures are prevailing in our society. Identities and voices of different sexual groups are emerging, such as Lesbian, LGBTQ, and homosexual groups.

Society is accepting their rights and raising voices for them. Sexual orientation is used as a scale to measure sexual identities or differentiate between attractions towards men or women. There are researches available that address the emergence of different sexual identities that will guide this paper and its claim that the concept of sexuality is becoming complex. The role of society and the internet would be evaluated because the internet makes it easy to express and explore one's sexuality without having fewer personal complications. Theoretical analysis will be helpful used to correlate the historical sexual beliefs with contemporary beliefs and attitudes.

This paper will provide an empirical overview of sexuality to readers and help them understand how changing attitudes affect our society. This paper will be helpful for readers to understand their complexity of sexuality. Keywords: Complexity, Sexuality, LGBTQ, Identities, Empirical.

Nevertheless, it is a highly complex issue thereby leading to diverse feelings, ideas, and opinions about sexuality. The differences create confusion on how sexuality should be addressed and this has led to some forms of sexuality being preferred over others. It is important to understand that sexuality is a natural thing and no single person should be discriminated upon.

However, this is only possible with clear understanding of sexuality in all its complexity. In this research paper, I intend to research sexuality from its complexity perspective. The intention is to shed light on how complex sexuality is; the reasons behind the complexity for instance advancement and industrialization, and different types of sexualities and how they differ as well as relate in other ways. For the research, I will make use of e-books, peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly articles to gather as much information as possible. These types of sources have been found suitable for the research because the issue of sexuality has been researched in the past by other professional researchers and their research articles are available online.

Also, there are professional books available online that have addressed sexuality in its entirety. These different sources would be used to accumulate data that will be combined to come up with sensible and valid data. the more reason is that in some of these sources, there is first-hand information from people with clear understanding and experience on sexuality complexity. The information gathered shall be phrased in a manner the audience would understand how complex sexuality is and why it is important to treat people from all types of sexualities with respect and dignity. Moreover, the research will shed more light in why people of specific sexuality behave the way they do in most cases differing from people of a different sexuality.

Medical Imaging Through Healthcare
Your Name
Houston Community College
EDUC 1300
February 2, 2018
Introduction
Choosing a career is a significant milestone in a person’s life, one that involves personal discovery and self-assessment. For many, including myself, it is a journey shaped by personal experiences and aspirations. My interest in pursuing a career in radiology blossomed during my high school years when anatomy and health classes sparked a deep curiosity about the human body and its intricacies. My experience in an Independent Study Mentorship (ISM) program allowed me to shadow professionals in healthcare, leading me to realize that I could marry my aptitude for mathematics with my passion for health through a career in medical imaging. This paper will explore the responsibilities and educational requirements of radiologists, the financial implications of such a career, and my long-term goals as I navigate this exciting path.
Job Responsibilities
Radiologists are specialized medical professionals who play a crucial role in the healthcare system by interpreting medical images to diagnose illnesses and injuries. Their scope of practice encompasses various imaging techniques, including Computed Tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018). Each imaging modality has unique applications and benefits:
* CT scans utilize X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body, assisting in the diagnosis of conditions like tumors or internal bleeding.
* MRIs employ strong magnetic fields to deliver high-resolution images primarily of soft tissues, making them indispensable in neurological and muscular diagnostics.
* Ultrasounds rely on high-frequency sound waves to visualize structures and assess conditions, often utilized in obstetrics and organ assessments (WebMD, 2018).
Radiologists must not only comprehend these technologies but also stay abreast of advancements in the field. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment growth rate for physicians and surgeons, including radiologists, is projected at 13% (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2018). Additionally, this career commands a high earning potential, with median wages exceeding 8,000 annually.
Education
The pathway to becoming a radiologist is rigorous, requiring extensive education and training. Aspiring radiologists must first obtain a bachelor's degree from an accredited university, focusing on fulfilling the medical school prerequisites, regardless of the undergraduate major. The journey continues with the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which assesses the knowledge and skills necessary for medical school.
Medical school typically consists of four years of education, with the first two years emphasizing classroom learning and the latter two focusing on clinical rotations (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2018). After obtaining a medical degree, students must complete a four-year residency in radiology and potentially pursue an additional one to two years in a fellowship, specializing in areas such as interventional radiology or oncology.
Lifestyle
As I consider my future career as a radiologist, I envision a lifestyle that enables me to provide for a family while maintaining a work-life balance. Based on research from Texas Reality Check (2016), I anticipate monthly expenses of approximately ,548, including housing, utilities, food, and healthcare. This monthly budget translates into annual expenses that align with the expected salary of a radiologist, allowing for sufficient savings and investments in the future.
Expected Expenses by Geography
The cost of living varies significantly depending on location. For instance, according to CNN (2018), maintaining my envisioned lifestyle in San Antonio, TX, may require an annual salary of around ,000, whereas a move to San Diego, CA, could necessitate a salary upwards of 0,000 due to increased housing and living costs. The stark difference illustrated between these geographic locations underscores the need for careful financial planning as I move forward in my career.
Volunteering and Gaining Experience
To enhance my medical school applications, I recognize the importance of volunteering within the healthcare sector. Websites like VolunteerMatch (2018) show an abundance of opportunities focused on health-related roles, including programs for hospice patients and community health initiatives. Engaging in volunteer work not only provides insight into the medical field but also demonstrates commitment, compassion, and a willingness to serve—key characteristics that competitive medical school applicants must embody.
Long-term Goals
My long-term objective is to become a proficient radiologist by the year 2032, taking into consideration the years of education and training required. Successfully achieving this requires not only academic diligence but also resilience in overcoming challenges that may arise, such as time management and potential setbacks. My plan includes maintaining high academic standards, diligently preparing for the MCAT, and producing a strong application for medical school. While I acknowledge that hurdles may come my way, persistence and a clear vision of my goals will guide me through.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my exploration into the field of radiology has solidified my passion for healthcare and the opportunities that lie within medical imaging. The responsibilities of a radiologist are critical to patient outcomes, and the journey to this career demands dedication and resilience. With careful planning regarding education, finances, and volunteer involvement, I am optimistic about becoming a radiologist who plays a vital role in patient care. Ultimately, the path I have chosen is not merely a career; it is a calling that aligns with my strengths and values, affirming my commitment to improving lives through imaging technologies.
