The Scholar/Practitioner Model
The current position I hold is in infection control at a large facility of approximately 350 beds. It has been an interesting journey in which I have grown beyond anything I could have imagined. It is a difficult position filled with challenges. My goal is to use the Masters in Public Health in my current role. The program I will be leading at work in January will be in need of renewal. I have hopes that participating in the Walden MPH Program will move me forward and give me the tools needed to build a vibrant infection control program.
The media presentation was insightful and challenging. The scholar/practitioner model of the Walden’s faculty adds depth to what the Professors bring to the classroom. Several points stand out-the need for

Thereafter I wanted to complete the Administrator-In-Training program hours at my current job Elkins Crest Nursing Home. In the final analysis, I hoped to become an Administrator or an Assistant Administrator for Extendicare Health Services within the next two years.

    Major strengths in the MPH program are the curriculum and the faculty expertise.

    Practitioner Observation

    You noticed several areas of improvements for this practitioner session, good critical eye and perceptiveness. I also thought the session was choppy and did not flow smoothly at times. I think your observation of the practitioner interrupting the client is key for that. Something, I was not able to pinpoint, thanks for that insight. I did notice the time Sarah was upset, and trying to gather her thoughts and the practitioner continually asked for Sarah's other hand and Sarah obviously was not ready. I wish the practitioner would have given Sarah the silent time she need to gather her emotions on her own. The practitioner’s example of “putting words in Sarah’s mouth,” as you noted, is a good example of the practitioner demonstrating a…

    Types of Scholars

    In today’s society, information can be accessed with just a signal touch of a button. To some individuals, this type of convenience is a blessing, whereas others who lack the proper understanding and discretion believe this convenience is considered a curse. The abundance of information on the Internet makes it easy for students to look up, pick, and choose information at his or her leisure without ever needing to question the validity of the documents or perform extensive research. Russell (2009) explained how a librarian who had various meeting with instructors from a universities who would express concerns that “students lack the understanding of what constitutes good quality scholarly information” (p. 92). In the career field of education it is important not to allow information literacy to influence scholarship, practice, and leadership in a negative manner, but to use this to educate students on more appropriate and responsible ways to research, analyze, and apply his or her findings.…
