<br> The Roger Maris Cancer Center is a strength of MeritCare. It provides cancer treatment to people in three states, pulling patients from eastern North Dakota, northern South Dakota and western Minnesota. This has been a very successful venture increasing patient visits per month by 100. <br>The strengths of the Fargo Clinic add significant strength to the MeritCare merger. One of the main strengths of the clinic is that it is one of the largest multispecialty clinics in the country with 30 locations throughout North Dakota and Minnesota.
Armed with vast resources of information, and brimming with some of the most brilliant minds in the world, universities certainly have ample potential to be at the forefront of heralding this change in society. An effort should certainly be made to promote an argumentative culture within the academia. It might make sense to make it compulsory to have classes in which students are asked to present opposing takes on various issues.As Unterreiner says,students need to have the medicine of contrary ideological views forced down their throats to cure the ailment of ideological
The authors suggest that education should inspire people to act towards the whole rather than on the parts. Another area the authors talk about is the academic rigor involved in the academy. The academic rigor the universities publish is mostly relating to course work. I think as a student who hears that the program in the university is academically rigorous is intimidating. I thing rigor is an overused word that every colleges advertise to make the program seem
Celeste Aguilar May 03, 2011 English 100 Embryonic Stem Cell Research Embryonic stem cell research was not the topic I had initially planned to do. I had been browsing the web for a week for possible topics, and I had found none that suited my interests. I discovered my topic when I learned that my uncle, who is a doctor, had recently won an award for his research on stem cells. Later I would find out that his specialization was hematopoietic stem cells, although it was nice knowing I could go to someone for moral support. Initially, I did not know very much about embryonic stem cell research when I first posed the question as to whether or not embryonic stem cell research should be permissible to find cures for diseases.
The main similarity that both articles highlight is the topic of morals. “What is morally correct?” I can imagine if they could sit down to talk about their work they would come to a common ground in their beliefs. Steve Buist’s article highlights the unethical behavior between researchers and companies that fund researches, and how these behaviors can be improved. “Improving the transparency around the financial relationships between researchers and companies is one way to deal with the potential conflicts of interest that can arise” (Buist, S., 2012). One such example is the “most reputable scientific journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, now require the authors of scientific papers to make detailed disclosure of their commercial financial relationships as a prerequisite for publication” (Buist, S., 2012).
It is obvious that the physics students were very subjective in their thinking; their preconceptions inhibit how they see the experiment and data being presented (lehrer, 2010). Lehrer is a graduate of Columbia University. He studied neuroscience where he examined the biological process of memory. With his extensive background in studying the way we think and make decisions, Lehrer definitely throws his subjectivity
According to Wikipedia.com Volkow earned a medical degree from the National University of Mexico and later chose a career studying how the brain functions. She also constructed research at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These achievements make Nora Volkow a valid source when discussing the disabilities addiction causes the brain, which is useful to my research paper because it gives detailed evidence that supports my view on the cause of addiction. Leshner, Alan I. "Addiction is a brain disease, and it matters."
In 2050, the global population of people age 60 and older will grow from more than 100 percent to an estimated two billion. With the aging population growing, they must do this actively and in good health because if not they do not then we will not be able to generate the levels of economic growth we have enjoyed over the past century. The cost of disease and health challenges will grow tremendously if we do not create a more innovative and effective way to stay healthy. The agenda for the future is to continue to recognize and address the relationships between the aging, health care and the economy. With the right solutions, health care can become the most powerful driver of growth in the 21st
Three main reasons for this decline were lack of facilities, uninterested administration, and scheduling. The middle school saw three different principals in six years, and four different assistants. Not a single administrative leader had a desire to see the arts grow. In fact, seven years ago, one administrator took the room designed as a band room, with storage space, practice rooms, office, exterior access for evening rehearsals, and sound-proofing, away from the band and gave it to a math teacher. The band classes were sent to a building away from the main school, in a suite of rooms not designed for music, much less band classes.
My time at UT, however, changed that. Participating for the first time in a full-length research experiment at that level, I felt more alive, more engaged, than I ever had before. Learning the complex dynamics between electromagnetic induction and optics in an attempt to solve one of the holy grails of physics, gravitational-waves, I could not have been more pleased. Thus vindicated, my desire to further formalize my love of science brings me to State University. Thanks to this experience, I know now better than ever that State University is my future, because through it I seek another, permanent, opportunity to follow my passion for science and engineering.
