The RN is the one who spends the most time with the hospitalized patient. I do think that it is excellent the student docs are addressing the concept of interprofessional collaboration!

I would actually slim down this list. There are a couple of professions that don't need to be listed. Overall great synopsis. I think you two did a great job. I would actually slim down this list.

The other sections you couldn’t really study a lot for. same way, what courses should i put a lot of emphasis in so that i can do excellent on the MCAT? what courses do i have to have before taking it? hope someone can help.

Where I come from the employed staff hospital chaplain is part of the health care team. S/he plays an important role and is professionally trained to attend to the psycho-spiritual needs that either the patient or family may be experiencing. As well, the staff chaplain provides care and support for the staff as well. How about the hospital chaplain? Where I come from the employed staff hospital chaplain is part of the health care team.

Or is that considered a politically incorrect statement these days?

This was not out of disrespect, but length constraints. The article was written to give a very brief overview of the educational backgrounds and general functions of non-physician health professionals. Much to our chagrin, we simply could not write an all-encompassing tome. If you'd like to see a more exhaustive article written, we do take suggestions in the Articles forum. Additionally, we're always looking for writers! Thank you for your feedback! Collegefootball,

There are way too many variables missing. This article would be better written if you showed what allied health care workers a patent would MOST likely encounter depending on the reason for their stay. There are many fields missing in this article. It might be that the author feels these other fields don't have as much respect or need, but I sure don't like personal selection of choices for the allied health care workers selected in this article and the importance of all the other health care workers. Remember, those closent to the bottom are the ones that make the health care system function from day to day. This article was poorly written. There are way too many variables missing.
