Paper guidelines:
Objectives:
• Students will discuss the concept of “health” from a variety of theoretical perspectives
including biomedicine, critical medical anthropology (CMA), and lay/popular beliefs about
health.
• Students will conduct an analysis of a current health issue using CMA
• Students will consult primary sources, critically assess findings and compare results.
• Students will develop competence in scholarly writing including the following: development
of a well-structured argumentative paper that contains a thesis statement; use of
introductory and concluding paragraphs; use of appropriate grammar; constructing wellstructured
sentences and paragraphs; and citation and references for primary source
material.
Background:
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, journalist Rebecca Skloot (2011) tells the story of
how the descendants of Henrietta Lacks come to terms with the story of her death from
cancer and the use of her cells for biomedical research. Essential to that story is the conflict
between the powerful biomedical system and the beliefs held by Henrietta’s family about
cancer and the body. Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA) uses a theoretical framework that
is expressly political to analyze conflicts between biomedical practitioners and others (Baer et
al 2003).

Instructions:
1. Locate three examples from the book where the beliefs of a family member come into
conflict with those of a biomedical practitioner (doctor, nurse, researcher or other). For
each example:
• Describe the belief system of the family member and speculate on how this belief
system may have been formed
• Describe the belief system of the biomedical practitioner and speculate on how this
belief system may have been formed
• Describe how these belief systems come into conflict
• Describe the outcome of that conflict for both individuals

2. Use a Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA) approach (such as that proposed by Baer et al
2003) to analyze the social relations described in the book. Consult CMA theorists and
researchers to support your arguments and use examples from Skloot (2011) to illustrate
your responses to the following questions:
• Who has power over the agencies of biomedicine?
• How and in what form is this power expressed?
• How is power evident in the social relations described in the book?
• What are the consequences for Henrietta’s family of the power relations that
characterize biomedicine?
3. Describe an incident in the book where a biomedical practitioner acts differently,
overcoming the power relations typical of biomedicine in an effort to meet the family’s
needs.
• Describe the incident
• In your opinion, does this action make any difference for the family?
• Why or why not?
4. Provide a point-form outline indicating the responses and examples you will use to answer
questions 1 and 2 above. Provide 3 preliminary references from CMA theorists or
researchers that will support your arguments. The format for the outline is 1-2 pages
including references. The Term Paper Outline is due in class Oct 28.
5. The format for the Term Paper is 8-10 pages (including title page and references) doublespaced,
12-pt font with minimum 2 cm margins. Provide a title page listing the name of the
assignment, your name, your student number, the course number, the instructor’s name
and the date. Use page numbers. In the body of the paper, use as many paragraphs as
necessary, but be sure to include introductory and concluding paragraphs. You may write
in the first person voice. You are required to consult a minimum of three (3) published
primary sources for your interpretations. Provide citations in text for these sources.
Provide a reference list. A Citation and Referencing Style Guide is provided on the next
page. The Term Paper is due in class Nov 11.

Library Support for this Term Paper:
The majority of materials for this paper can be located using a health-related search engine
such as PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. Enter search terms such as “Critical
Medical Anthropology” and examine the results for relevant papers.
An alternative approach, oddly called “hand searching”, is to select a journal and then use that
journal’s search engine or tables of contents to locate relevant articles.
For help
determining if a journal provides peer-reviewed scholarly articles we often use
Ulrichweb: http://ulrichsweb.serialssolutions.com.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca.
For general questions about how to conduct research for this project, or for additional support
with citation and referencing, use the library’s research online or face-to-face consultation
options. You can chat with a librarian during office hours using the UTM library’s ASK
function: http://library.utm.utoronto.ca. You can also make a face-to-face appointment for help
using the library’s online booking function: http://library.utm.utoronto.ca/book-researchappointment.
In most cases the consultations will be referred to a science liaison librarian.

ANTH 432H5F Citation and Referencing Style Guide
The citation and referencing style guide provided here is one adapted from a number of
anthropology journals. It is simple yet still provides all necessary information. You must both
cite and reference scholarly publications that support your writing.
1. Citation
• The process of supplying sources in the text or body of your work is called citation. Different
formats exist for citation, including footnotes, endnotes and citation in text. For this course,
you are required to cite in text, supplying the source of ideas or quotes directly after the
material. That means the citation occurs within the same sentence. Citations must include
the author’s name, the date, and, if quoted from published text, the page number from which
the information is taken. In this way, you give the author credit for original ideas. I would
rather you cite too often than too little.
• Quoted sources are extremely rare in academic writing; unless the passage is a classic
piece of scholarly analysis, authors tend to paraphrase and provide a citation.
Example: Galloway (2006) measured the stature of 504 schoolchildren attending six schools
in Grey and Bruce Counties, Ontario. The results indicated that, “like their urban
counterparts, rural Ontario schoolchildren have elevated risk of overweight and obesity”
(Galloway 2006:12).
• If the source has two authors, both names are cited in text.
Example: Research on North American children’s growth has demonstrated that children
living in low-income urban areas suffer greater risk of childhood obesity (Moffat and Galloway
2006).
• If the source has three or more authors, list the first, followed by “et al”. By convention, the
“et al” signifies: “and colleagues” which is how you state it when presenting orally.
Example: Obesity risk was highest in children living in Low-SES B (Moffat et al 2005). These
children may be caught in a “double-jeopardy following a pathway of early childhood undernutrition
with subsequent over-nutrition in late childhood, adolescence and adulthood” (Moffat
et al 2005:363).
2. Referencing
• Because citation in text only supplies limited information (author, date, and sometimes page
numbers), it is necessary to provide complete details (references) about the source of the
cited work. List only those articles that have been cited in the body (text) of the paper.

• All sources for this course will come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals. If you are unsure
whether a journal uses peer review, read the information on the journal’s homepage. Journal
titles may be abbreviated using the abbreviations or acronyms used by PubMed.
• The referencing format is provided below. Articles are listed alphabetically according to the
surname of the first author. The list is not numbered. If there are two or more references
with the exact same author(s), they are assigned letters “a”, “b” etc. and cited that way in
text.

 
The aim of this assignment is to familiarise yourself with reviewing and presenting scientific work, and the use of different databases on health and disease. Office for National Statistics (ONS) publications such as Annual Abstract of Statistics and Social Trends are particularly useful sources ; also the Public Health England web site government/organisations/public-health-england) or the World Health Organization , but you may use any suitable data sources at Roehampton

For this assignment, write a 4-page educational report known as a white paper. According to Michael Stelzner, whose chapter, “A Primer on White Papers,” we will use for this project, a white paper is a persuasive document that usually describes problems and how to solve them. The white paper is a crossbreed of a magazine article and a brochure. It takes the objective and educational approach of an article and weaves in persuasive corporate messages typically found in brochures. (2)

White papers enable companies to educate, which is a white paper’s first priority, while offering a subtle persuasive marketing element. In fact, some white papers offer education only, preferring to use the white paper as a means to establishing a company’s or organization’s reputation

White papers are a smart, effective way to market products, educate readers, and persuade audiences. They are widely used in both technical and non-technical fields, and are highly sought-after by supervisors and consumers. The ability to produce a high-quality white paper is a critical technical writing skill. This assignment provides the opportunity to research a new trend, use creative document design, color, and infographics to present information.

Details:

1. Review Chapter 1 of Michael Stelzner’s book Writing White Papers.

2. Write a four-page white paper. Be sure to include all of the following elements:

a. Title page

b. Effective and interesting document design

c. Report body with appropriate citations and section headers

d. Integrated infographics (appropriate images and charts/graphs)

e. References presented in MLA format

Kindly provide me at least 10 best topics to be choosed.PLEASE REMEMBER THIS THESIS PROPOSAL IS AT PHD LEVEL. AFTER COMPLETED THE PROPOSAL I WILL CONTINUE WITH FULL THESIS BY YOUR WRITERS SOON.
I would appreciated if you could have at least one topic concerning about “Transformation program”.

 
Paper is a research project for HCA Healthcare Administrative course in which the student has to present a proposal plan in order to develop a new healthcare facility organization. An example can be focus on my sate and city ( San Antonio,Texas) and the start on development to facilitate a “walk-in in ready clinic” such as Walgreens or CVS have many “ready and go clinics” in which patients can just walk in for a simple vaccine or be seen by a nurse for a “non medical emergency” care. The main focus of this paper is as a Healthcare Administrator how would I develop a new walk in ciliic? and where would I plan to operate this new clinic?. The report should include information about planning and organization of the new facility, hiring, cost of operation, budget plan and cash and flow sheet, and marketing (this is all I can think of for now) but should be among something like that. One idea I was thinking was to operating this new clinic in a Walmart, because I never heard of a Walmart here that had a walk in clinic so this can be an idea to start off.

 
Interview mental health staff related to “burnout”

Students will have the option to visit an alternative community-based program for management of emotional crisis or spend two hours at their community site (in addition to the 16 hour service requirement) observing or speaking with providers of mental health services at the site in regards to their role and possible challenges.

NOTE that this must be negotiated with and agreeable to the site. Students may also suggest alternative activities that they wish to engage in to access perspectives on community mental health. Three questions to consider in your interview(s) in this activity are:

1. Describe a theme or possible stressor in the role being looked at that could (or is currently) being viewed as significant stress to the workers/ caregivers. This may be viewed over time as a factor related to ‘burnout’, caregiver stress, or a factor for employee turnover.

2. Describe signs and symptoms to this site’s work center stress. [Every site/ work center has stress] . Generically speaking, any possibly link to pathophysiological disorders? Example, asthma/ reactive airway disease or GI distress with frequent urgent care can be linked to stress.

3. Has this sight recommended any stress reduction programs, or are there possible programs that you would recommend? Is the recommendation cost effective?
