Health Teaching/Promotion Presentation
Students can complete this project as a group (for example if a group of two or three students are at the same clinical site, they have the option of working on the same project depending on the type of project). When working in a group, it may be ideal to select a group team leader who will facilitate the assignment completion process.
The students are obligated, and must have their project plan approved by their clinical instructor and preceptor prior to starting work on the project. To complete the health promotion/teaching project, students will submit and present the final outcome to the Preceptor at the Clinical Site. For this project, the students will have to produce a material, an item, or a document that will be resourceful and beneficial to the site. A report must accompany the Clinical Project, and the students will also be required to present the project to their preceptor, faculty/instructor, and other pertinent stakeholders.
Further details about this assignment will be posted and or discussed as needed.

The Future of Ethics Policy and Finance in Healthcare
What do you think the future holds for public health? The four goals of good healthcare are to relieve symptoms, cure disease, prolong life and improve quality of life. Access to healthcare has been a perpetual challenge to healthcare providers who must take into account important factors such as equity, efficiency and effectiveness in designing healthcare systems to meet the four goals of good healthcare. The underlying philosophy may designate health as being a basic human right, an investment, a commodity to be bought and sold, a political demand or an expenditure.
Stability and Change in Mother and Child Planning The topic for the research paper is “Stability and change in mother- child planning over middle childhood”
Stability and Change in Mother and Child Planning
Young children experience their world through their relationships with parents and
other caregivers. Safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments between children and their caregivers provide a buffer against the effects of potential stressors such as CM and are fundamental to healthy brain development. They also shape the development of children’s physical, emotional, social, behavioral, and intellectual capacities, which ultimately affect their health as adults. As a result,
promoting safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments can have a positive impact on a broad range of health problems and on the development of skills that will help children reach their full potential.
