HW 41 - Independent Research

The aspect that i decided on was the process of becoming an OB/GYN and why people chose this profession.

A.)

This link is showing me that the process of becoming an OB/GYN can apparently be accomplished in 5 steps.  Although they do make it sound easy i don't believe that it is.  Since it is essentially the same as becoming a doctor you really need to be as motivated and determined as possible.  You must go through a lot of schooling and other intensive training to accomplish this goal.  In becoming OB/GYN i feel that it may be better if you are a women since you are focusing completely on the anatomy of a female so it may interest you more to find out these things about your own body.

This page literally sums up all the requirements to be an OB/GYN.  They talk about how in college it is very important to have high grades in your field of study.  Most of the pre med students trying to be an OB/GYN have the GPA of around a 3.5-3.7.  So not only must you be committed with the profession but you must be committed to achieve the goal to get to that profession.  Once you are done with your 4 years at a normal college you must then move on to medical school.  Medical school is pretty much your final test to see if you are really ready to become an OB/GYN.  Some people will find out then that it may not be right for them and not go through with their plans/life goals.

This definition of an OB/GYN pretty much brakes down what it really stands for.  The OB part stands for Obstetrician.  An obstetrician is just literally someone who delivers babies.  The GYN part is just the learning of a women's body.  An OB/GYN is the key to a birth, without them i feel that the whole birth process would be different.  If they were not there to supervise the birth and make sure everything is going according to plan then the process of birth would have a lot more flaws then it does now.

As a doctor an OB/GYN gets paid a very high salary.  I don't believe that people join this professions just for the soul reason that they enjoy doing it.  I am sure that when they do like what they are doing but when the figured out how much they would be getting paid it really pushed them more towards this profession.

Many women OB/GYN's tend to benefit for the everyday work that they do.  The information that they find out is beneficial to all females so they figure that if other women can use this information they might as well use it to reflect upon their own work.


B.)


The way that all the information that i gathered above can be used for a cumulating project is i can use all this information and double check it with an actual OB/GYN.  I can interview them to compare all this information and see if they agree or disagree with all of these statistics.  Then after this interview i can compare my thoughts of all this before the interview and after and write a comparative essay about my two opinions.
