Hands-on Healthcare? Rebecca Spragg, MSPO, CPO discusses EMU Orthotics and Prosthetics Masters Program

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Carmen Gamlin

Pre-Health Titans! Are you curious about a healthcare career and passion that is hands-on and steady growing?! Pre-Health Director and Advisor Carmen Gamlin spoke with Rebecca Spragg, MSPO, CPO Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist, Assistant Professor & Program Coordinator at Eastern Michigan University about an amazing Healthcare Profession: Orthotics and Prosthetics! Eastern Michigan University has the only Master of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics in the state of Michigan! Here are the highlights from their interview!

  1. Pre-health students will launch careers with many professionals on the healthcare team. Please share what a Prosthetist and Orthotist does and what populations they serve.  

    Prosthetic and Orthotics is one of the Allied Health fields, similar to physical therapy and occupational therapy. We work in particular with in Prosthetics patients who’ve lost a limb, either an arm or a leg. In Orthotics, we work with patients who just need a little bit more help functioning with their arms or their legs or even their spine!

    In prosthetics we make artificial limbs, prosthetic legs… and in orthotics, its all of the bracing. So everything from back braces, arm braces, leg braces. Most people think of foot orthotics or shoe inserts that they get so we make all of these things.

    We work across the age spectrum from newborn babies with clubfoot all the way up to elderly patients who maybe diabetic with amputations or need spinal bracing because they have fractures from falls…So it’s a really wide range, across ages and a lot of different diseases that we work with as well.

  2. What skills does someone going into this field need to have?                                   

    The skills you really need to be successful in OP are having really good written and verbal communication. Were a healthcare team, we work with patients. You need to be able to write really good chart notes for insurance companies. You need to be able to have really good explanations and conversations with your patients and with the physicians and nurses and therapists. So having really good communication, which can come from any sort of undergrad background.

    [Also] really good problem solving. Every patient is a little different and being able to come u with solutions that will work for them is really important and then teamwork. It is a big team that we work on so those are probably the top three general skills you need and you can get those with any sort of undergrad background.

    Some students will come from engineering so have a really strong math background and some students will come from psychology and will have more of those soft skills background and we work with all of those students to get them where they need to be in the field.

  3. What is the master’s program at EMU like and what are the prerequisites?

    There are; we require a college level math course that include trigonometry, biology, chemistry, and physics for the science courses. Anatomy and Physiology is also a requirement and two psychology classes or a psychology and a sociology class.

    We take any intro level; they don’t need to be the advanced chemistry. Physics 1, Chemistry 1 and Intro to Biology those are all accepted. 

4. What should a prospective student do to learn more? 

 

*Bonus: Dr. Spragg explains the difference between an Orthotist and Prosthetist!

Andrew Farnsworth from Alliance Credit Union Discusses Credit Health for Pre-Health Titans

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Lalisha Griffin

Pre-Health Director Carmen Gamlin sat down with Andrew Farnsworth from Alliance Credit Union to discuss benefits of joining a credit union and importance of credit health. Here are some key takeaways from their 3 Question Interview.

What I love about the model is that it allows credit unions to support organizations that are important to the members, such as the University of Detroit Mercy.

1. What is the difference between a Bank and a Credit Union?

Banks and credit unions usually offers some of the same services such as checking and savings accounts, loans, mortgages, etc. A key difference between the two institutions are their structure. In addition, credit unions have a ton of benefits for it’s members.

Credit unions are basically non profit banks…instead of shareholders that own them every individual with a $5 deposit is considered a member owner.

If you have that deposit with this model, the credit union generally has lower interest rates on loans. higher interest rates on deposits, and there’s lots of other benefits including insurance discounts, legal services, credit monitoring and even discounts for dining and shopping.

2. Why Does Financial Health matter if I am going to graduate school?

Financial health is really essential. Getting an advanced degree gives you the opportunity to have a higher earning potential, but you also have the risk of going into really massive debt.

You really need a plan to achieve your financial goals. Without a plan, with having debt and lack of discipline, it can become a real distraction and a burden. That is true for everyone and it doesn’t matter what level of education that you have…It’s really important that you take care of your financial health because it can affect you.

The good news is that someone with an advanced degree and possibly a higher earning potential who does have a plan, who creates a budget and sticks to it is likely to come through that with the tools needed to really thrive, to really provide a positive impact in their own wellness and family life and then be a leader in the community.

3. What are benefits of joining Alliance Catholic Credit Union as a University of Detroit Mercy Titan?

Alliance Catholic Credit Union really want to help students build their credit to gain those financial skills to just have a good foundation and be building that in college. So what we’ve created is the Titan checking account. It’s a special account designed to help students learn skills and create habits to master personal finance.

So first, you get $20 when you join. That’s just one of our promotions that we run and then we offer Financial Wellness Rewards. So if you log in and do our classes at the Alliance Catholic Credit Union University Track online-which are really fun and easy to do, you will get $80 in Visa gift cards for completing that.

Then you are automatically entered to win scholarships for having this account. Also, there’s up to $50 in report card rewards. If you have a GPA above 3.0, you can receive up to $50 per year for that. Additionally, the account is compatible with mobile wallet, the mobile app, online banking and all those other benefits associated with credit union membership.

Alliance Catholic Credit Union has a branch located at the McNichols Campus of University of Detroit Mercy. Titans are encouraged to visit and talk with the staff there for questions or to open an account. Accounts can also be open online at the website which is www.AllianceCatholic.com

Ahmed Al-Hilali, Detroit Mercy Alum’s Transition to American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine

Posted on June 29, 2022 by Lalisha Griffin

Ahmed Al-Hilali, alum of Detroit Mercy completed his credits to graduate December 2021. Less than a month later, he was enrolled in Medical School! Pre-Health Advisor Carmen Gamlin sat down with the Detroit Mercy Alum for a three question interview. What Ahmed Al-Hilali provided was nuggets of wisdom for those who have reached a roadblock in their journey to medical school.

Prior to enrolling into medical school, Ahmed had completed over 1000 hours working as an EMT. That time equipped him with clinical and motor skills that he noticed his peers did not have coming into medical school. In addition, that time gave him the confidence he needed to advocate for himself in his journey to become a physician.

  1. First, you’re an alum of University of Detroit Mercy, tell me what you been doing since you graduated?

During his time of applying to medical school, Ahmed heard a lot of no’s; 30 to be exact. He noticed early on that he would have to take a different route to get to medical school. Knowing that he wanted to become a Doctor since the early age of 8, Ahmed decided to brainstorm ways in which he could make that goal a reality. He came across the American University of the Caribbean.

So, I was getting all the “no’s” and then I remember popping on Instagram one day and seeing my friend Fawad posted up on a beach and I remember he was in medical school but he was some place shiny. So I just started pulling up his page and I found out he was in Sint Maarten – so I reached out.

2. Tell me about your peers and what it is like to study at American University of Caribbean. 

Ahmed tells Carmen that American University of Caribbean is not too different from Detroit Mercy. He states that the it is a little bit smaller and as far as his peers they are after the same goal as he is; to become a physician.

It’s actually not too far off from Detroit Mercy. It’s actually a little bit smaller than Detroit Mercy…Here were strictly medicine. We have 3 semesters a year. January to April, May to end of August, then September to end of December and you just start at anytime.

You have these kids from all around the world, all corners of the globe really who end their masters programs or graduated and because of their own circumstances, similar to mine, they did not want to do another masters program or they did not want to wait another cycle. They knew this is what they want to do and more importantly, they knew they could do it. They decided, “you know what, I’m going to take a chance on myself”.

We do have alumni we can reach out to and more than willing to help because they knew what it was like to get there in the first place. So they know that the path that they blazed is also a path they have to keep nurturing by reaching back and helping students and that’s what makes AUC like really cool.

3. You mentioned being a EMT, maybe you can share how that has helped you thus far. 

Being an EMT was an incredible experience because now it doesn’t go away. I’m trained to just respond to an emergency situation and its just ingrained in me….Being an EMT was nice and it gave me the confidence to clinically evaluate somebody.

Being an EMT allowed me to speak up during times when I feel like my voice was mute…now I’m not uncomfortable raising my hand to be like hey professor, go back two slides I don’t get that. Even though you feel like you’re going to look stupid, it doesn’t matter. It’s your money, it’s your livelihood, it’s your career, it’s your medical knowledge. You’re building it!

For Titans and Prospective Titans who would like to connect with Ahmed Al-Hilali, he can be reached via Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmed-al-hilali-1093798b.

Clinical Shadowing Opportunities for Pre-Health Students with Atlantis

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Lalisha Griffin

Detroit Mercy’s Director & Advisor of Pre-Health Programs, Carmen Gamlin spoke with Atlantis Representative Lindsay Kline about an opportunity for Pre-Health Students to engage in Physician shadowing in European Countries. Lindsay spoke about Atlantis and exactly how their program works.

The goal is that not only are you earning those very valuable shadowing hours but you’re also getting the opportunity to really observe healthcare in a different cultural context; different geopolitical context and getting to really amplify your understanding of global healthcare

  1. What is Atlantis and who is it for?

So Atlantis is an organization that essentially provides clinical shadowing opportunities for pre health and pre-med students who want to pursue opportunities abroad.

Ideally, pre-health students will participate in this opportunity during a summer or winter break. What Atlantis does is it connects students with physicians in cities across Europe. Students are partnered with a doctor and will complete a minimum of 20 hours of week of clinical shadowing and observation only. In addition, students are able to rotate their shadowing in different specialties.

So maybe on the first day you’re in orthopedics and the second day you’re in ER and the third day you’re observing surgery.

This opportunity really is for anybody who wants to pursue any sort of career in the field of healthcare.

2.  Around here, Doctors in Hospitals have an entourage around them with Medical Students, scribes and PA as they make rounds. Why do these doctors have time for our students from the US to shadow them?

Atlantis representative provides insight on teaching hospitals in Europe and how it benefits the physicians as well as the students.

We do partner with teaching hospitals… they are very interested and motivated by the teaching and learning that takes place at hospitals.

We really have a wonderful partnership with these hospitals and in the past we have actually awarded grant funding to amplify the teaching and learning that’s happening at these hospitals as a part of this reciprocal partnership….there is an incentive for these doctors to really pay attention to the students that are participating in Atlantis programs and to treat them like one of their own students or residents.

The other thing that I think is just important to know is the way in which we structure programs is that for each program and each doctor, each doctor is only responsible for two students. So again, it’s one doctor to two students ratio.

3. What other activities can Atlantis pre-health participants do while they are on location?

As part of Atlantis programs all of our groups, in addition to shadowing will participate in a minimum of 1 excursion a week. So those excursions, depending on the location, could be visits to cultural sites, museums, cooking classes, international equivalent to national parks.

So there’s so many different wonderful opportunities that we arrange for you to engage with the community and the culture.

We do arrange group meals, three group meals a week where you and your Atlantis staff sometimes the doctors and residents will join…we’ll have the opportunity to dine at a traditional restaurant, try local cuisine and step outside your comfort zone a little bit to engage with again the culture as well as the food.

Additional things to know about Atlantis:
