Write My Essay For Me

In this unit, we discussed the importance of learning to work effectively with diverse groups of people. In order to excel as a health care professional, it is important that you learn to respect and embrace the differences rather than being afraid of them. For this assignment, choose a peer-reviewed article about cultural differences that you may encounter in the workplace to critique. Use the databases within the CSU Online Library, or use another source that contains peerreviewed articles. The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing and critiquing articles that contribute to the industry. The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals who have shared or experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry. As a professional in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends. This provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful and how it was accomplished. Plus, it allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least how you can avoid repeating the mistakes of others. Use these skills to contribute to research papers and other scholarly writings. If you have not already, you will hopefully contribute to the industry by publishing an article and sharing it with your community of peers.

As you read the article you choose for this assignment, consider the following questions:

• How could the topic of this article apply to your personal or professional life?
• How could it apply to an organization you have observed?

The article you choose must meet the following requirements:

• Be peer reviewed
• Relate to the concepts within this course
• Be at least 10 pages in length

The writing you submit must meet the following requirements:

• Be at least two pages
• Identify the main topic/question
• Identify the author’s intended audience
• Critique the article and share your thoughts—what appears to be valid and invalid?
• Do you agree with the author’s assertions? Why, or why not?
• Explain cultural competence and why it is important for health care professionals for page two
• Discuss how the health care industry can improve how well its professionals relate to one another, as well as the patients they serve

Format your Article Critique using APA style. Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism.

Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation

For this assignment, imagine that you are a medical office manager at a local physician’s practice and that you have noticed some of your employees have become a bit lax in how they present their personal images to the patients. You decide to hold a meeting with all of the employees to discuss this issue. Develop a PowerPoint presentation (or create a PDF document if you do not have access to the PowerPoint software) consisting of 7-10 slides to share at this meeting. Be sure to include a properly formatted title slide and reference slide or slides. Remember that the title slide and reference slides are not included in the 7-10 slides required for the content. In the presentation, discuss the following three topics:

1. The impression people make on others based on appearance, grooming, posture, and grammar usage
2. The importance of personal image in patient care
3. Methods employees can use to improve their own personal images

Be as creative as possible with this. Try to grab your audience right from the start and hold their attention throughout your presentation. Use pictures and/or graphics or other forms of multimedia to illustrate your points. All sources used, including the textbook and any multimedia, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. In addition to your textbook, you must use at least one peer-reviewed source and one reputable Web source. Any references or citations used should be in APA style.

Unit VII Scholarly Activity
