The Future of Medicine playlist

Watch one of the eight videos from The Future of Medicine playlist.  Then, go to the Ashford University Library and find two research articles related to the social impact or relevance of the topic addressed in your selected video. For assistance with finding peer-reviewed articles, please see the tutorial on the Ashford University Library website. Consider the work you have completed in the previous discussions throughout the course. Summarize how we, as individuals, are affected by disease, disability, or disorder. What emotions do we experience toward others with these conditions (empathy, judgment, fear, guilt)? Critique the contributions of community-based programs and how they influence our societal reactions to diseases, disabilities, and disorders.  Examine and comment on the ways in which individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole will either benefit or suffer from current directions.  Do the trends seem to indicate a path toward better health care for the individual, improved availability of needed care, changes or options in types of care, and better resources in the community?  List at least two potential positive directions and two potential negative directions or barriers still left unaddressed.  Offer your own ideas for improving health care in the future. For example, do we need more technology, financing, community resources, options, or alternatives in handling our health care? Do you feel that we are heading in the right direction?
