Secondary Healthcare System

2.1K
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Secondary Active Transport

138.8K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Sociology in Medicine

Background:

  • Under-represented minorities (URM) in medicine enrollment in the USA has stagnated despite population increases.
  • Addressing URM physician shortages is crucial for health equity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an immersion in community medicine (ICM) program on secondary school students' aspirations towards medicine.
  • To assess the program's influence on students' intent to serve their communities.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 69 alumni of an ICM program, collecting demographic, program, and career data.
  • Data included Likert scale responses and optional free-text answers, analyzed using GraphPad Prism and NVivo.
  • A response rate of 88.4% was achieved with 61 student participants.

Main Results:

  • A majority of respondents (73.7%) were from URM backgrounds.
  • 91.8% of students reported increased interest in becoming a physician due to the ICM program.
  • Shadowing patient-physician interactions was most valued (98.4%), and 85.3% felt more likely to serve their local community.

Conclusions:

  • Immersion in community medicine programs can empower URM secondary students to pursue medical careers.
  • These programs show promise in enhancing confidence and encouraging service to underserved communities.
  • Further research into ICM programs could reveal effective strategies for recruiting URM students into medicine.
