Book excerpt: RHEUMATOLOGY IS THE BRANCH OF MEDICINE dealing with musculo¬skeletal disorders and autoimmune diseases. There are more than 200 of these rheumatic diseases, afflicting millions of Americans of all ages. By far, the most common disease treated by rheumatologists is arthritis. According to the CDC (Center For Disease Control), arthritis alone affects more than 53 million people, or 23 percent of all adults in the US! Osteoarthritis is the leading form of arthritis, but there are others, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and lupus. In fact, there are 100 different kinds of arthritis. They all cause pain, aching, stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints. Some can affect multiple organs and create life threatening conditions. Some may be acute, while others are chronic, meaning they last a lifetime. Rheumatology is also concerned with autoimmune diseases that afflict roughly 50 million Americans. There are many kinds of autoimmune diseases. Most have unfamiliar names, but nearly everyone has heard of multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Crohn's, and fibromyalgia. Symptoms tend to be vague, such as unrelenting fatigue or unexplained pain in bones, soft tissue, or gastrointestinal tract. Determining a diagnosis can be very difficult. Choosing the most effective treatment is also challenging. But that is what a rheumatologist's job is all about - diagnosing and treating long-term diseases that most other doctors cannot recognize. Rheumatology is a sub¬specialty of either pediatrics or internal medicine, depending on the age group being treated. Rheumatologists must first become a licensed physician - Medical Doctor (MDs) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). That takes four years of undergraduate college followed by four years of medical school. Another three years of residency is required after graduating from medical school. Residents put in long hours - 16 hours a day or more - getting hands-on training in a hospital setting. After that, their skills are perfected in fellowship programs that typically last an additional two to four years. Rheumatologists who start their educational path right after high school are well into their thirties by the time they are qualified to start practicing on their own. With such a heavy investment in education, it is good to know that it is going to be worth it. Rheumatologists report a high degree of satisfaction in their careers. In fact, rheumatologists are known as the happiest specialists. The work is intellectually stimulating, highly rewarding, and the earnings are excellent averaging well over $200,000 a year. The job outlook is excellent, too. Nationwide, there are more openings than candidates to fill them, and that gap is widening. Most rheuma¬tologists work in hospitals and clinics, but many are also employed by assisted care facilities, government health agencies, private health organizations, universities, and pharmaceutical companies. Those who are not employed as salaried staff are in private practice. They often see patients who have been referred by primary care physicians. Many are affiliated with hospitals, acting as consultants when hospitalized patients show signs of rheumatic disease. Becoming a rheumatologist means being in a position to alleviate pain and enhance the quality of life for people. If you have a strong interest in physiology, have an aptitude for solving problems, possess excellent communications skills, and want to help people, take a closer look. Rheumatology may be the career you are looking for.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy in Rheumatology written by Lynne Sandles and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written primarily for occupational therapists and occupational therapy students but will be of relevance to anyone working with clients with rheumatoid disease. It is hoped that the text will communicate the challenge faced by therapists to establish management programmes appropriate to the identified needs and priorities of the individuals with whom they work, the potential to utilize a wide range of skills and the opportunity to contribute to the understanding of the many unanswered questions which remain in relation to rheumatic diseases. The aim of this book is to present an holistic approach to the management of rheumatoid disease, considering first, the ways in which rheumatoid disease can affect a person's life and then looking at the approaches and techniques used by therapists to minimize these effects. This approach has been chosen as it is fundamental to both the philosophical basis of occupational therapy and the manage ment of a chronic progressive disease. An holistic approach considers the physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of a person and the ways in which these have been effected by an underlying disease process. Each of the components are interrelated, illustrating the complexity of establishing appropriate management programmes and evaluating their effectiveness. The first two chapters consider the effects of rheumatoid disease on clients and their families. An holistic approach identifies the need for a diversity of skills to be available to both the therapist and client.
Download or read book Doctors Careers written by James Parkhouse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991.The training, employment, and career movement of doctors is of fundamental concern to all those working in and administrating the National Health Service and private medicine within Britain and around the world. Doctors' Careers makes available to a wide readership, in one volume, the results of a comprehensive survey of medical choices and career progress of doctors qualifying from British medical schools during a decade, from 1974 to 1983. No other survey of this kind has been carried out over a prolonged period of time. This is a unique record of the aspirations, feelings and experiences of a very large group of doctors, during a time of considerable changes in emigration, training for general practice, and the position of women doctors. The book deals with these issues, and also the reasons for choosing and changing careers within medicine, postgraduate qualifications, internal migration of doctors within the UK, aspects of some important individual specialisms - medicine, surgery, psychiatry, and anaesthetics - and the personal opinions of doctors about their training and the career problems of British medicine. The data has important implications for medical staff planning, and this is taken up in an analysis of the employment status of doctors five years after leaving medical school.
