Environmental Analysis
The professional Training service institutes train medical staff and certify medical practitioners around the world. Present job market is tough. Sometimes we found the most qualified person with the most education in the field but still not get hired for a good job because businesses are not hiring or that person lacks in having enough experience. Sometimes recruiter find the person that can be considered over qualified for a job and that is the reason they don’t get hired for their proper job. While it is common thought that medical field is always hiring. Most vacancies are there for the medical laboratory technician and medical technologist. A recent research showed that at least 70% of all medical decisions rely on some sort of other practitioners like nurses, lab technicians etc. By adopting medical field, professionals play a huge role in the processing and analysis of medical results. Every Medicare, hospital or Medical Treatment Center has a pool of all kind of medical experts for when tests need to be drawn and analyzed. Everyone does not run every single test that is needed, so the tests get sent to other practitioners for analyzing. That costs money for that lab for outsourcing but sometimes the test just can’t be performed.
Medical experts try each day; by running the simple, day-to-day tests on blood, tissues, body fluids, and other samples with high-tech equipment in laboratory. Some state laws require Medical Laboratory Technicians to be licensed or registered so that to preserve its citizens against fakes persons. Information on licensure can be obtained from state departments of health or boards of occupational licensing. Certification: Many employers prefer to recruit applicants who are certified by a recognized professional association, such as the American Medical Technologists. while recruitment process employer seek Medical Laboratory Technicians with good analytical judgment and the ability to work under pressure. Close attention for each small detail is also essential for Medical Laboratory Technicians because small differences or changes in test substances or numerical readouts can be crucial to a diagnosis and health of ill patients. Manual dexterity and normal color vision are highly needed for due care, and with the widespread use of automated laboratory equipment, computer skills are important for lab workers. Laboratory Technicians in medical field can be advance and become technologists through additional education and experience. Technologists may be promoted to supervisory positions in laboratory work or may become chief technologists or managers in hospital lab. Home diagnostic testing kits manufacturers and laboratory equipment and supplies also search for experienced technologists to work in product development, marketing, and sales. Professional certification, specialization and/or a graduate degree in medical technology, one of the biological sciences, chemistry, management, or education usually speeds advancement. Approximately annual wage of medical laboratory technicians was $36,280 in May 2011. The lowest 10 percent earned more than $24,210, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $56,040. In short we can say that, salaries are higher in a hospital setting than in physician offices .
According to the AACN (2008), nursing field has been identified for making the biggest impact on a transformation of health care delivery to a safer, higher quality, and more cost-effective health system. By increasing awareness for need of change in the healthcare system, nursing has recognized the need to educate future professionals to deliver patient-centered care as members of an inter professional team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches, and informatics. Health profession schools are required to mandate external community issues when addressing curricular issues (AACN).
There is an higher rate of chronic illness presence that results in an increasingly older adult population. Environmental threats, lifestyles which increase the risk of disease, and enhanced technological and therapeutic interventions which prolong life all put a strong impact the nursing profession according to the report of (AACN, 2008). Such external factors directly influenced on how nurses will provide care and it is this writer’s belief that the curriculum for health profession schools has a responsibility to reflect this in order to increase globalization of healthcare to meet the needs of the nation’s diverse population in present age.
