  • Medical School
    Medical School Texas A&M Professional School Advising can advise you realistically on whether you are a competitive applicant for admission to medical school, however only you can decide if medical school is truly what you want to do. One way to explore your interest is to gain exposure by volunteering and shadowing in the different healthcare professions we advise for. You can also observe or shadow a physician and talk to professionals in the different fields of healthcare. Another way is to read information about professional schools and medicine as a career and to join one of the campus pre-health organizations. What type of major looks best? Many applicants believe that medical schools want science majors or that certain programs prefer liberal arts majors. In actuality medical schools have no preference in what major you choose as long as you do well and complete the pre-requisite requirements. Texas A&M does not have a pre-medical academic track which is why we suggest that you choose a major that leads to what you would select as an alternative career. The reason for this line of logic is that you generally do better in a major you are truly passionate and interested in and in return is another great way to determine whether medicine is the right choice. Plus an alternative career provides good insurance if you should happen to change direction or postpone entry. Texas A&M University offers extensive and exciting majors to choose from in eleven diverse colleges. If your chosen major does not include the prerequisite courses in its curriculum, you must complete the required courses mentioned below either as science credit hours or elective credit hours.

    Pharmacy School Admissions Guide Pharmacy is the branch of health sciences that deals with the preparation, dispensing, and proper utilization of drugs. A pharmacist is a health care professional who is licensed to prepare and sell or dispose of drugs and compounds and can make up prescriptions. Most pharmacy schools do not require you to complete an undergraduate major, though you may be more competitive for admission with a degree. Each school varies in its expectations of successful applicants, so the best places to check for the latest information are the websites of the schools in which you are most interested, and the admissions officers at those schools. The UA Health Professions Advising Office can assist you as well. PREREQUISITES: It is critical to be aware of the pharmacy school admission requirements early on in college so that you can arrange your coursework appropriately. Unlike many other health professional schools, each pharmacy school varies considerably in what courses it expects of its applicants. The undergraduate requirements at the two Alabama pharmacy schools, The McWhorter School of Pharmacy at Samford University and the Harrison School of Pharmacy at Auburn University, for example: SAMFORD AUBURN General Chemistry: CH 101 and CH 102 or honors General CH 101 and CH 102 or honors equivalent Chemistry: equivalent Organic Chemistry: CH 231, CH 232, and CH 237 (lab) Organic CH 231, CH 232, and CH 237 (lab) Chemistry: Anatomy and BSC 215 and BSC 216 (or BSC 400, Anatomy and BSC 215 and BSC 216 (or BSC 400, Physiology:

  • Digital Health in a Broadband Land: the Role of Digital Health Literacy Within Rural Environments Wuyou Sui1*, Danica Facca2
    Health Science Inquiry Volume 11 | 2020 Digital health in a broadband land: The role of digital health literacy within rural environments Wuyou Sui1*, Danica Facca2 1Department of Kinesiology, Western University, London, ON, Canada 2Faculty of Information and Media Sciences, Western University, London, ON, Canada *Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Abstract: The rapid rise and widespread integration of digital technologies (e.g., smartphones, personal computers) into the fabric of our society has birthed a modern means of delivering healthcare, known as digital health. Through leveraging the accessibility and ubiquity of digital technologies, digital health represents an unprecedented level of reach, impact, and scalability for health- care interventions, known as digital behaviour change interventions (DBCIs). The potential benefits associated with employing DBCIs are of particular interest for populations that are disadvantaged to receiving traditional healthcare, such as rural popu- lations. However, several factors should be considered before implementing a DBCI into a rural environment, notably, digital health literacy. Digital health literacy describes the skills necessary to successful navigate and utilize a digital health solution (e.g., DBCI). Given their limited access to high-speed internet, higher cost associated for similar services, and poorer development of information and communication technologies (ICTs), most rural populations likely report lower digital health literacy – specif- ically, computer literacy, the ability to utilize and leverage digital technologies to solve problems. Hence, DBCIs should address this ‘digital divide’ between urban and rural populations before implementation. Practical solutions could include evaluating rural communities’ access to ICTs, needs assessments with rural community members, as well as integrating rural community stakeholders into the design of digital literacy education and interventions.

  • Cybersecurity and the Digital-Health: the Challenge of This Millennium
    healthcare Editorial Cybersecurity and the Digital-Health: The Challenge of This Millennium Daniele Giansanti Centre Tisp, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Via Regina Elena 299, 00161 Roma, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-06-4990-2701 1. Cybersecurity The problem of computer security is as old as computers themselves and dates back decades. The transition from: (a) a single-user to multi-user assignment to the resource and (b) access to the computer resource of the standalone type to one of the types distributed through a network made it necessary to start talking about computer security. All network architectures, from peer to peer to client-server type, are subject to IT security problems. The term Cybersecurity has recently been introduced to indicate the set of procedures and methodologies used to defend computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. Cybersecurity [1–3] is therefore applied to various contexts, from the economic one to that relating to mobile technologies and includes various actions: • Network security: the procedures for using the network safely; • Application Security: the procedures and solutions for using applications safely; • Information security: the management of information in a secure way and in a privacy- sensitive manner in accordance with pre-established regulations; • Operational security: the security in IT operations, such as, for example, in bank- type transactions; • Disaster recovery and operational continuity: the procedures for restarting after problems Citation: Giansanti, D. Cybersecurity that have affected the regular/routine operation of a system and to ensure operational and the Digital-Health: The Challenge continuity.

  • Digital Health and the Global Pandemic | 1
    Introduction As the world grapples with the tragic COVID-19 pandemic, it is tempting to imagine a post-COVID future that includes some silver linings. As terrible as the situation is today, this calamity will lead to some lasting, positive changes, particularly in healthcare. Virtual Care (often referred to in common parlance as simply telemedicine, and we will use them interchangeably here) has emerged as the poster child for this line of thinking. Providers and patients have dramatically increased the use of telemedicine to ensure continued access to quality healthcare services while maintaining social distance and modulating the enormous burden on our healthcare workers and facilities. Regulators and payers are encouraging and enabling this shift by temporarily relaxing policies that have historically limited telemedicine. Adjacent areas of digital health including digital therapeutics, digital disease management, and remote monitoring have followed suit, finding similarly relaxed policies, more accessible reimbursement, and increased adoption by providers and patients alike. Many have questioned whether these changes will endure as life returns to a “new normal”, or if policies will be reverted and accelerated growth will subside. We begin by examining the potential for COVID-19 to drive lasting change for various categories of digital health technologies. Given the large scale of virtual care, in combination with its potential for lasting COVID-19 impact, we then will dive deeply into this category as a leading indicator of other areas of digital health. Because the US experience has been so widely covered (and to some degree it is still playing out in real time) we highlight key characteristics and trends across Asia Pacific (APAC) and European markets.

Nursing Informatics Health care informatics has been a distinct discipline for several decades now. But it has moved to the forefront over the last five years with health care organizations making the transition to electronic health records (EHRs). Today, the health care informatics industry is exploding and the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that jobs in the field will “grow much faster than the average for all occupations.” Defined by the U.S. National Library of Medicine as the “interdisciplinary study of the design, development, adoption and application of IT-based innovations in health care services delivery, management and planning,” health care informatics was propelled to popularity with the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act. Under this law, health centers, including hospitals, clinics and private physician offices, were required to create and maintain electronic medical records for every patient by the year 2015. 3 INTRODUCTION Health Care Informatics Vs. Nursing Informatics By now, the majority of health centers have moved to electronic patient records, which has created enormous possibilities in the field of health informatics.

  • Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University Pharmacy Postgraduate Education Hello. My Name Is Mark Johnson and I
    Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University Pharmacy Postgraduate Education Hello. My name is Mark Johnson and I’m on faculty here at the SU BJD SOP and Director of Postgraduate Education. I’m very glad to hear of your interest in pharmacy and Shenandoah University. Pharmacy is a very exciting field offering many opportunities from community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, drug industry, regulatory affairs, and many others. Some positions in pharmacy now may prefer or require some advanced training after completion of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. This advanced postgraduate training includes residencies, fellowships, and other graduate degrees. The Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy has a long track record of success and involvement in postgraduate pharmacy training. All of these postgraduate pharmacy education programs are highly competitive and students apply in their fourth year of pharmacy school. Residency training is divided into two postgraduate years. Postgraduate year one (PGY-1) offers more generalized training, providing residents exposure to a broad range of disease states and patients. These residencies are done at hospitals, community pharmacies, managed care pharmacies, and ambulatory care clinics. Postgraduate year two (PGY-2) emphasizes a specific area of interest and helps lead to specialization in that field (such as critical care, oncology, pediatrics, etc.). Fellowships focus more on research and are often associated with Schools of Pharmacy and drug industry. There are also graduate degree programs as
