Topics for Session 2
Health Professions Practice
Below are several questions for you to think about and respond to on the bulletin board. Once you have gathered your thoughts, please post your responses on the bulletin board prior to our on-line sessions scheduled for Thursday, January 15, 1998 from 4-6 PM. During that time you can react to other students' responses.
1. Using the four stages of the illness experience (onset, diagnosis, patient status, recovery), relate an illness experience you had and give examples of how you responded in each of the four stages.
2. How does the definition of health differ from health status?
3. What new and emerging health professions have you noticed in the past several years and why do you think they have become established?
4. Do you feel there is a need for the Health Care Skill Standards?
