Annotated Bibliography Part 2:

1.)

Bannon, Aidan. “Reaching Out: Medical Students Leading in Local Communities.” Centre for Medical Education, Queen’s University, Belfast, UK, 2015

This paper by Aidan Bannon covers the volunteer efforts of a volunteer-oriented group of medical students centered around empowering younger people. Their efforts include education to people in local communities and promotion of local medicine practice. Aidan also focuses on the importance that this group’s efforts had on their own learning and growth. It is also covered how these medical students connected their volunteer experiences with past medical related experiences and how they analyzed to integrate what they gained from each. Their work allowed them to communicate well with younger people, which is an essential skill for practice. Their experience allowed them to expand the practice of “patient care” to make it more true to what physicians should provide their patients.

Doering, Alex, Makowski, Suzana, Ramus, Seth. “The Undergraduate Hospice Experience: A Way to Teach Pre-Med Students the Importance of Compassionate Patient Care.” ClinicalKey, 1 Feb. 2015.

The authors of “The Undergraduate Hospice Experience: A Way to Teach Pre-Med Students the Importance of Compassionate Patient Care”, Alex Doering, Suzana Everett Makowski, and Seth Ramus discuss the effect that volunteer service and exposure to the hospital setting has on pre-medical students. This paper discusses the importance of humility in the medical field and how it is good to recognize what we know and do not. It is also important to learn these feelings in regards to the deep situations that are dealt with in the hospital including death. This paper discusses how pre-medical volunteers act in response to exposure to these situations through work in the hospital.

Kennedy, Amanda, Farmer, Jane, Dickson-Swift, Virginia, Hyett, Nerida. “Community Participation for Rural Health: A Review of Challenges.” 2014

This study by Amanda Kennedy, Jane Farmer, Virginia Dickson-Swift, and Nerida Hyett focuses on the empowerment of the medical field and healthcare within communities particularly rural ones by involving the community in the process. The belief is that if more of the community becomes involved in the healthcare in terms of decision-making and costs, healthcare in that region will become improved in a way tailored to that community. The challenges and barriers that are associated with some of these healthcare blockages can be improved based on health policies and advocations.

Kertesz, Stefan. “Priorities in the Primary Care of Persons Experiencing Homelessness: Convergence and Divergence in the Views of Patients and Provider/Experts.” Patient Preference & Adherence, Dovepress, 1 Feb. 2016

This article focuses on the hardships that homeless individuals face in terms of receiving healthcare. This article researches what are the priorities of primary care that homeless individuals would need the most in order to relay this information to U.S. initiative organizations to best tailor and personalize the care that they can work to provide these people with. The homeless community is a large and largely underserved population in terms of healthcare, but by knowing what they need the most, this article hopes that we will be able to better our methods of getting this care to them. A lot of the issues in this area have to do with accessibility, but hopefully, this communication will help better that.

5.)

Lakic Bilijana “Retrospective Analysis of the Role and Performance of Family Medicine versus Emergency Medical Services in the Pre- Hospital Management of Patients with AMI in Banja Luka.” Acta Medica Academia.2016

This study compares the quality and methods of care in the emergency units versus in family care practice offices. This study explores how the severity of symptoms influences a patient’s motivation to make a trip to the doctor. The statistics of this study were found to show that those who had more severe symptoms were found in the emergency room because they were unwilling to visit the hospital until they saw visible symptoms that were at that point more severe. On the other hand, issues that were caught first by family medicine practice doctors were less severe and treated quicker because they were caught in their early stages.

Mahoney, Jane S. Integrating Caring into Patient- Centered Care through Interprofessional Education and Ethics: The Caring Project. Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 1 Sept. 2017.

The purpose of this article was to emphasize the importance of incorporating the true “care” aspect into medical practice. Because of the material heaviness of the biological and practical parts of medicine, it can be easy to forget to consider the equally as important side, humanistic person-to-person care. In order to fully provide care for someone in their most vulnerable times, physicians must be able to serve, understand, and provide an informed decision to maximize the effect that the care will have. This article centers upon exploring this through the widely used term of patient-centered care. This name may sound redundant considering medical practice is all about care of the patient. However, this term specifically emphasizes practice that is empathetic and understanding from many perspectives combining the technical with the humanistic. This includes teamwork and planning with your patient. It is important to show the patient that you are able to provide them with educated options from your knowledge as well as give them a choice for what they feel would be the best care.

Mott, Melissa L, Gorawara-Bhat, Rita, Marschke, Michael, Levine, Stacie. “Medical Students as Hospice Volunteers: Reflections on an Early Experiential Training Program in End-of-Life Care Education.”

This Journal by Melissa L. Mott, Rita Gorawara-Bhat, Michael Marschke, and Stacie Levine explores the exposure of medical students to end-of-life care in the hospital through volunteering. This is an experience and aspect of medicine that is oddly rarely exposed to prospective physicians, yet it is one that touches almost every field of medicine. The goal of this journal is to explore the effects and uses gained from the students’ exposure and how they can use it to help them grow as prospective physicians. It is important in medicine to consider the vast perspectives at play ranging from empathy to care and treatment on a more individualized basis using the “textbook knowledge” only as such. Volunteering in these kinds of areas helps prospective students better prepare for these situations that they will face in the future as physicians as well as lets them begin contemplating the perspectives in these kinds of heavy situations including how the doctors take care of their own well being while still providing the best care they can for their patients.

8.)

Murphy-Shigematsu, Stephen. “Vulnerablility and the Beginner’s Mind.” The Clinical Teacher.

The author of “Vulnerability and the Beginner’s Mind”, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, discusses his first day teaching method to teach his pre-medical students to experience vulnerability and that the humility of not knowing is not something to be ashamed of but rather to be used as a learning perspective in the field and practice of medicine. This text also includes a piece called “The Other Side of the Hospital Bed” by Christie Palladino. This discusses the idea of “putting yourself into the patients’ shoes” and learning new ways to better your practice by experiencing or relating to their situation in the hospital from multiple perspectives. There are some aspects that physicians may not realize about the treatment of patients if we are too focused on the knowledge of the subject rather than their personal feelings. This teaches a very important side to medicine that is essential to learn, the humanistic side. Through this, physicians are better able consider how to deliver the best patient care they can provide.

Tang, Wei. “Emphasizing Humanities in Medical Education: Promoting the Integration of Medical Scientific Spirit and Medical Humanistic Spirit.” BioScience Trends, 1 Apr. 2017.

This article focuses on incorporating humanistic side into medicine and how this has become a large trend in hospitals and healthcare offices in many countries. This kind of care emphasizes the comfort of the patient in order to deliver the best care to them. This article focuses on how these aspects of medicine combined with all the other technical aspects are equally important to future physicians.

10.)

Zuckerman, Brianna. Personal Interview. 6 Oct. 2017.

During this interview with Brianna Zuckerman, a second year Honors Medical Scholars student, she discussed how the program helps shape prospective physicians on their path to becoming one. Brianna discusses the identity of HMSS (Honors Medical Scholars Society) and how that identity correlates with how this enables the students to truly learn patient centered care. She also discusses the specific service that HMS is involved and how each promotes the values of the group outlined by the identity. The service that HMS conducts centers around underserved populations and the importance of care for all. By doing work in communities where students work closely with those we are serving, HMS students learn to practice that “patient centered care” and communication skills with those they are serving.
