Obstetrics OVERVIEW

Madison Berris

OB job duties include helping women through pregnancy, birth, and the health of the female reproductive system. They take care of a womans pre, and post­natal conditions, and then assume the role of taking care of the newborns health needs or occasionally performing abortions.

Generally OB's work in hospitals, private practices, or clinics.

They works over 40 hour weeks on set schedules, but can be on call. A typical day would be working on patients, talking to their families, analyzing vitals.

GETTING THERE

Education wise, The steps go like this: High School diploma, Bachelors Degree, Medical school, Internship, State licensing, Residency, and become Board Certified on your way to attending. (About 15+ years of schooling.)

THE DETAILS A mean salary is around $222,400 annually. Depending on what kind of establishment you are hired under can affect pay.

To enter private practice sometimes requires a buy in, or your own start­up costing upwards $100,000+.

Between 2013 and 2023, it is estimated that there will be 12 openings annually due to new positions and 16 openings annually from workers leaving this occupation in Washington.

Annually there are 930 openings in the united states.

Employer depends on where you work, or who owns it (such as private practice, or a company owned hospital.)

This is 100% indoor work, unless you also become a certified midwife, and commute to peoples homes.

WHO? Anyone with a passion for elping others and saving the lives of women and babies. Someone with commitment and integrity.

ME? This job would not be for me. Although if I did have a medical job this would be it, but the schooling is not good for me, and it's incredibly competitive.

INTERESTED? This seems like an insanely fulfilling and important job, and anyone seeking those things are fit for this job, I would be interested in it but I already have a plan.

The best part of this carreer would be knowing that you are welcoming the next generation into the world, and having their mothers count on you and trust you to take care of them .

It is a stable career with great benefits and anyone interested in medicine and infant care would enjoy this.

Education/ traning have a license in their state. . After completing an O. D. degree, some optometrists complete a 1­year residency program to get advanced training in specialized areas such as family practice, low vision rehabilitation, and ocular disease.

Skills and Abilities They do not perform surgeries (unlike an ophthalmologist).

They need to know how to counsel patients and advise them if they need special care or treatment, for example, recovery after a surgery.

Workplace Private practice, Physicians office, optical stores

optomestrist Overview

Reflection Also the job pays well and you don't have to work under anyone if you are self­ employed.It also seems that these kind of doctors will be needed more within the next ten years so it would be easy to get employed.

The best part about a career in Optometry is that the operations are pain free for the patient and if any bigger problems are noticed, an optometrist would refer the patient to a different doctor, such as an Ophthalmologist.

Typical Day They work full time (40 hrs/ week) and sometimes on the weekends to accommodate patients' needs. Never any overnight calls and optometrists usually have the same patients for many years.

Paramedicine Paramedics respond to emergencies, whether it is a car accident to someone taken a fall down stairs. Paramedics are most commonly the first healthcare provider that you would see after an emergency and give you the proper first AID care you need. Their job could be hard and stressful depending on the emergency and the working conditions defer due to the type of emergency.

Education & Training

Paramedics train anywhere between 9 months to almost 2 years depending on the institution that you are attending to achieve your degree or licence.

You at least need a certificate to be able to do any form of medical tasks on another person which then you would be qualified as a EMT which is lower then paramedics.

Work Medical institutions such as hospitals or fire departments would hire you to become a paramedic.

Median Pay: Salary: $31,980 per year Hourly: $15.38 per hour Locally you could be employed with the state or county.

Nationally you could be a dual Paramedic and have your liscence in multiple states as long as you pass the required test.

Internationally is unknown.

Reflections Individuals who are: Physically strong Great listener Interpersonal skills Problem solver Speaking skills To make a good candidate is someone who is compassionate towards individuals and can handle any situation even if it is stressful.

Personal Reflections I would like to pursue Paramedicine if I was given the chance and would like to go down that job path. Paramedicine is different and a unique job to have due to the adrenaline that you receive when you participate in something good and saves someones life. I think I would be a great candidate because I do well under stress and I think before I handle every situation. The best part of this career is that you get to know your community and get to help our your community at the same time.
