What are five jobs in the medical field that deal with the skin?

In terms of MD...

1) Dermatology, obviously, which is the study of the skin and its components - the only specialty that deals exclusively with skin disorders -also probably the hardest residency to get into at this moment


2) Plastic surgery


3) Rheumatology/immunology to a certain extent


4) Basically any surgical specialty requires some knowledge of skin anatomy, physiology and healing. Burn/trauma surgeons frequently perform skin grafts on patients with severe 3rd degree burns.


5) Family medicine/general internal medicine and pediatrics since they see everything, and you will see a lot of rashes in kids.


Beyond the MD, most plastic surgeons have an "aesthetician" in their office who may perform basic procedures like facials...they also help patients during the healing process by offering tips on makeup and other strategies to hide surgical scars as they are healing. They also help with skin care in general and will often sell specialized products in the office.

What are synonyms of healing?

Healing is an interesting concept.

I define it as 'coming to terms with an issue', as 'making good' of what isn't and as 'mending' towards well-being, which often embraces also curing the physical body.

Healing is holistic and works on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

For more complete info, see http://www.therapeuticreiki.com and in particular, http://www.therapeuticreiki.com/blog , which has a number of articles on both what healing is and healing myths.

What do you call those who study medicine?

Pharmacology:
  1. The science of drugs, including their composition, uses, and effects.
  2. The characteristics or properties of a drug, especially those that make it medically effective.

Just add "ist" to the "ologies" below to get the answer. For example - pathologist, etiologist, pathological physiologist etc.

The study of medicine is divided into four subjects:

I. Pathology: that part of medical science which studies disease.

A. Etiology: the investigation of morbific causes. B. Pathogeny: an explanation of the mode of action of causes-how cause produces the development of disease. C. Pathological Physiology: morbid reactions under disease-producing causes. D. Pathological Anatomy: which reveals the structural change resulting from disease. E. Symptomatology: which accounts for disturbances. F. Nosology: which describes and classifies disease.

II. Diagnosis: which determines the place where a given disease belongs in Nosology.

III. Prognosis: which foretells the outcome of disease.

IV. Therapeutics: which endeavors to relieve, modify, and cure disease.

Why accuracy is very important in pharmacy?

What in the world is an accuracy checker?

In the pharmacy, you have a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, and cashier.

The pharmacy technician inputs the prescription into the computer, which then prints out a label for you to find the drug, count it out, and label the bottle.

The pharmacist then checks your work, verifies the pill in the bottle matches the image on the screen, verifies that the name of the drug matches, checks for drug interactions, etc.

If there was a misfill or error found in selling the wrong prescription to the wrong patient, then we must contact the patient to verify the error and make sure who got the right prescription and who got the wrong one. Upon doing so, you file an incident report.

What is the difference between healthcare and medical care?

Medical care is treatment; the doctors, nurses and technicians who actually treat the patients.

"Health care" and "health coverage" generally mean "health insurance"; who PAYS for the medical care. So "health care reform" doesn't mean reforming what the doctors are doing, and "Obamacare" doesn't create doctors. They arrange for the payment of the doctors and hospitals who actually provide medical treatment.

In fact, our current systems of "health care" is causing doctors and hospitals to go out of business, because the government systems don't pay enough money for the hospitals to continue to operate. And doctors don't see patients for free.

CAN A CNA LEGALLY GIVE A RECTAL SUPPOSITORY?

In most states, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are not authorized to administer medications, including rectal suppositories. This task is typically reserved for licensed nursing professionals, such as registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs), who have the necessary training and legal authority. However, regulations can vary by state, so it's essential for CNAs to be familiar with their specific state laws and facility policies regarding medication administration. Always consult with a supervisor or the nursing staff for guidance in such situations.

Can a CNA transfer from TX to NM?

It really depends: many states have their own licensing requirements; but others have reciprocal agreements where they are willing to accept each other's credits, as long as the courses and training meet certain criteria. Just to be sure, you may want to contact the hospital in NM where you are trying to find work, and ask them if they will accept your certification from Texas.
