I always encourage my students to research the career they plan on striving for to ensure that they “know what they’re getting into”. I’ve seen plenty of students spend a lot of time and money to get an education only to discover that, for whatever reasons, they are not interested in the “9 to 5” routine of their chosen career once they graduate. Therefore, your research paper is going to be devoted to any health related career of your choice. This paper will enable to you to do the research behind the career you are considering and gain a better understanding about the job demands, rewards, etc. In addition to this research, I highly recommend that you take some “free time” to shadow a professional in the field of your choice or volunteer in the environment for which you desire to work so you can see the “real-world” pros and cons of the job. Very often, the academic prep is very different than the actual work setting/demands. Your education is the most valuable investment you can make; ensure that you make the right choice and know what you want for the long term. :)You will write your paper based on literature researched about your chosen field. Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS Library and you must utilize between 5 and 10 reliable and relevant academic references. Your paper should include, but not be limited to the following topics:Name of the healthcare professionHistory of the professionHow this career has developed over the yearsEducation and training (i.e. internships, residencies, etc)State/National Certification or Exams requiredContinuing Education requiredTypical wages and benefitsEmployment opportunities and future outlook of this professionWork settings (i.e. hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, etc.)Types of services, duties, and responsibilities of the jobTypes of patients/clients served and/or types of conditions/disorders treatedWorking conditions of the jobHow this career is perceived by other professionals and lay peopleIf there are any “specialty” areasAny other general “pros” or “cons” that you come across in your research that are pertinent to youYour paper should be written in the THIRD PERSON taking the individual out of the writing and avoiding pronouns such as I, we, my, our (first person) and you, yours, your, us, we (second person). You should deal with facts and not opinions, thus providing citations within your paper and on your reference page. Focus on the subject itself and not on your feelings about the subject. The use of third person retains a formal tone in your writing. The use of first and second person can make a document seem more casual.However, the only place I want you to use the first person is in the Abstract section. I’d like you to use the Abstract to write about your personal opinions about this health care field: what got you interested in this career, why did you chose to write about it, what is your desire to be involved with this profession, etc.?PLEASE NOTE that you must submit your Research Paper as a “Microsoft Word” document rather than a Word Pad, Works, etc. type of document, otherwise you will not receive credit for your work.Please review the university-wide policy on Plagiarism in your student handbook.
