Medical/Pharmaceutical Essay
The goal here is for you to become familiar with the Health/Medical branch of the Natural Sciences. You will craft a 4 (FULL) page essay which will include the abstract and title page required in APA (American Psychological Association) format* (meaning you will have a total of 7 pages), based on one of the following topics:
Universal Health Care – It’s been in the news lately, but universal health care also touches on historical issues — such as how it has been implemented in other countries — ethics and right-to-treatment, and socio-economics. Isolate an issue within universal health care and explain it in depth.
Right to Die – Assisted suicide is legal in some countries (like Holland) and a taboo topic in others. Write about the legality in general (for or against) or illustrate the specific conditions in which assisted suicide should be acceptable.
Treatment Options – Choose an illness, such as clinical depression or cancer, and compare and contrast the different treatment options available.
Treatment Availability – Compare and contrast the medical systems and availability of doctors within two areas, locally and internationally. Your thesis can also draw a conclusion about which system is better based on your research or, briefly, how the contrasting system might be improved.
Opioid Crisis – What is the ongoing issue with opioids? What has the government done to aid with this crisis? What is the current medical stance on the issue? What can we do to rectify the problem?
Suggested Essay Development: Within the confines of your paper you will discuss the subject at length, providing not only the causes and effects of the subject but also a summary and analysis of current research being done on the topic. Some of these topics may be found more rewarding than others. Choose wisely.
