Introduction
Medicine is constantly evolving which means we too must evolve to keep up with medicine. We have to continually advance our techniques, equipment, treatment, and pharmaceuticals whether to treat new diseases or to simply improve our current procedures, we need to be evolving. This is why there is a need for more medical researchers and scientists to help take action and better the world of medicine. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the year 2028 there will be an eight percent increase in the need for medical scientists and researchers which is faster than the average occupation. This is because they know how important advancement in medicine is now and for the future. Take for example bioresorbable brain sensors that were recently created by a team consisting of scientists at Washington University School of Medicine and engineers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This device would help in the care of patients with traumatic brain injuries because they are able to monitor intracranial temperature and pressure at all times. The new device would be directly connected to the brain so it is unseen and can give accurate readings at all times while also being wirelessly connected to monitors. The most crucial aspect of the sensors is after they are no longer needed for monitoring, they will harmlessly dissolve from the brain and into the cranial fluid eliminating the need for a secondary surgery to remove the device. This device would completely change how traumatic brain injuries are treated, but this project is only in the testing stages and requires more research and laboratory trials before human trials can begin. More researchers will allow for more research to be completed which will quicken the process and hopefully produce products faster. This is why the need for more researchers is so important, so that new devices and treatments can be made to change the lives of patients and the face of medicine forever.
Objectives
The objective of this project proposal is to persuade current students whether they are interested in medicine or not, to look into medical research and science as a possible career choice. Not only would this proposal give more insight to those already interested in the field, but also inspire those who may be undecided in their major or not sure if their choice of major is right for them. It will also inform the audience of new medical breakthroughs and technologies like the dissolvable wireless brain sensors.
Implementation Plans
For this project I will need to conduct more research towards the career of a medical researcher or scientist and what the outlook of the job is in the future and what the occupation responsibilities entail. I will also look into what traits and qualities a good researcher should have so that the audience may be able to associate themselves with having those traits and could imagine themselves as a researcher. I will also research more about the bioresorbable sensors to be able to inform the audience about the further details of this device and the research methods that went into creating the device so they will know the process of researching and creating new treatments and procedures.
Audience Analysis
The ideal audience for this project proposal would include current students whether they are interested in the medical field or not. These individuals will most likely be persuaded to agree with my position because they too are either passionate about advancing the medical field and want to learn about new procedures to help future patients or might not know what their future path is but may want to look more into medicine. They are the ideal audience because they are the future of medicine and will possibly be the ones to imagine and create these new devices so they will take action by choosing medical research as their future path. I will use a logical appeal containing facts and statistics to convince the audience of the success of choosing medicine as their future career while also informing them of the possible projects they may be able to become a part of by choosing research.
