Preface to the Professional Work Samples
The purpose of this professional work sample is to show the performance and mastery of the program outcomes and competencies for the psychology major. The work samples illustrate the mastery of various program outcomes. I have had to acquire knowledge of the learning outcomes through first hand experiences I have obtained in creating my professional portfolio and also in completing the previous course and going through an undergraduate student.
From the assignments and projects, I have worked on before, I can attest that I am a critical thinker and I do posses information literacy. The cover letter required a critical thinking and also possession of information literacy. The cover letter required some well articulation of experiences and skills, as well as the excellent flow of information. Such details help to pass crucial information to the employer or the interview panel.
The research skills evident in the work samples involve learning, debating, practical and also analytical. The samples depict the fact that, I have the ability to learn quite quickly and also grasp some new concepts. The research done in the previous course entailed identifying resources, as well as collection and analysis of the data, doing experiments among others. The discussion that involved the research done did articulate ideas, peer group discussion, and also involved supporting a single position with logic.
The work samples also depict excellent communication skills. The writing of the cover letter did demonstrate that the person can also replicate the same in oral communication. Research projects also depict excellent communication skills. This is quite crucial in psychology and professional portfolio, as it presents knowledge in presenting a topic paper, a PowerPoint, presentation outline among others. Communication skills are quite crucial in interpersonal relations, and this is especially when handling instances that need psychological intervention. It is crucial for supervisory, counseling, negotiating and also teamwork. The psychologist is able to explain and advise, as well as establish work schedules that permit the victims to meet the requirements. Counseling will involve supporting, listening and facilitation, and hence it requires vast communication skills. Communication skills also help in collaboration with other researchers among others. My communication skills are quite excellent.
The “
use of Internet Intervention
” assignment can attest the understanding of the ethical issues in psychology. The work showed ethical issues of using the internet or computer-based applications in solving issues arising in psychology. One of the ethical issues is privacy and this is because confidentiality of data cannot be guaranteed in the internet or computer-based applications. The problem I do.

CHAPTER 8Introduction
Introduction
As an undergraduate, it’s easy to think of psychology as this very static discipline, and if you want more information about some type of behavior, you conduct a search and the information comes to you. As you fulfill the curriculum of your
undergraduate program, your professors and your online courses bring you information,
and your textbooks provide a wealth of knowledge about the subject matter. The Voices
from the Workplace feature box describes a passive approach to learning and under-
standing human behavior. Here I would encourage you to take a more active learning
approach—that is, if you want to get a sense of what psychology is all about, you have to
go and do psychology. We belong to an active and engaging discipline that is passionate
about all aspects of human behavior, and although we do share knowledge in various
forms of writing (journal articles, books, websites), interacting with peers and profession-
als in a conference setting can provide the energy and “juice” about the research enter-
prise. So I suggest that you go and do psychology: Work to become an active contributor to
our understanding of human behavior as well as a consumer of psychological knowledge.

My specialization is General psychology. I have certifications in the applied behavioral analysis, as well as forensic. I decided to get my PHD in general psychology because I knew I would be able to touch on every specialty which is good to me. General psychology is the study of mental behaviors and psychological functions. The whole idea of studying the behaviors of an individual is very interesting to me. I am so intrigued with General psychology because every since I took intro to psychology and I fell in love with the focus of getting into individuals minds and the way they think. My career path is to join the FBI and work as an agent in their Behavioral Analysis Unit. With this degree, it will open so many doors for me. I am into solving cases with a mixture of what caused that individual to do the act. I also enjoy profiling which is basically a person who records and analyzes someone's psychological and behavioral characteristics, so as to assess or predict their capabilities or to assist in identifying categories of people. Growing up it has always been a passion of mine to becoming an psychologist. I am just so proud of myself to be in this position, I am not quit finish there is still a lot of things I have to do before I can fully say I am a psychologists.
In Florida, where I live there are different requirements to become a psychologist. The state of Florida requires all licensed psychologists to have a doctoral degree in psychology from an accredited or approved school.It is of the utmost importance to create a plan for the educational path and licensing procedures that will be required of you in order to become a psychologist in the state of Florida. In order to work as a licensed psychologist in the state of Florida all candidates are required to have a doctoral degree, either a Ph.D. or a PsyD in psychology or a closely related field, this degree must be from an approved institution. After acquiring your doctorate degree in psychology or a closely related subject such as educational psychology, candidates are then required to complete 4,000 hours of supervised professional experience over two years. This experience must be conducted under the supervision of a licensed psychologist that the Florida Board of Psychology has approved. Once you have completed your doctoral degree and 4,000 hours of supervised experience you can then submit your application for licensure. The state of Florida requires all psychology licenses to be renewed every two years; to be eligible for renewal the license holder must complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education. The Florida Board of Psychology also enforces one further stipulation to renewing you license, which is that on every third renewal a psychologist must.

Project Design Action Plan: abuse among teenagers.
Project Overview
For my project this will be my topic; Factors that influence substance abuse among teenagers. We are all away of how substance abuse has become a popular trend among the teenagers but what most people do not know is the contributing factors to this popular trend of teenagers using substances. Substance abuse is referred as the abuse of illegal substances such as cocaine, heroine and marijuana or even alcohol or prescription medicines. Overdosing can be a form of abuse; however, this is a form of drug abuse since it is abusing the medical prescription. There are two types of substance abuse, which include; alcohol dependence and drug use. However, there is a slight difference between substance abuse and drug abuse. Substance is the abuse of illicit drugs such as cocaine while drug abuse is use of illegal drugs and wrong medical prescription although sometimes drug abuse is categorized under substance abuse. I think I’m interested in this topic for a long time because I grew up in a dysfunctional home due to substance abuse which led to breaking up of my family.
So, it’s more a self-motivation and to create awareness of the factors that lead to substance abuse. The society is only aware of several factors that influence substance abuse among teenagers due to lack of awareness and education on the topic. However, I believe the most common factor is due to lack of psychological and emotional support which leads to anxiety and depression and therefore, teenagers find refuge in use substances. Therefore, the desire to be able to pass this important knowledge to the world is why I am interested in the topic. I think going through with this topic, I will learn a lot of things such as the adverse effects of substance abuse and how it affects mental health of those who abuse substances.
Past GEP Connection
In school or rather at class we are only taught about the basic knowledge of substance use because it’s just education, a topic in the syllabus that has to be covered however, those who have gone through the effects of it are aware of how destructive substance abuse can be. However, that little information provided in school can be useful in preventing someone from getting addicted to substance abuse. I earlier stated about how my family became dysfunctional because of substance abuse. My dad was a victim of substance abuse which he became an addiction and same happened to my elder brother who became dependent on alcohol and could not continue with education, I was very traumatized by the situation and that’s why I grew interest about this topic, therefore, I plan to use the classroom knowledge and experience and personal experience for my project. I think that my past experiences tie with present as I will be using the past experience with my present to make the research real and useful.

Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health ca.docxshpopkinkz
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5) years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note
: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct within the health care setting. Justify your position.
Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital governing board’s manifesto.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Describe the sources of law in America, the relative legal procedure, and the related court system.
Examine the various applications of the law within the health care system.
Use technology and information resources t.

Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health ca.docxshpopkinkz
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5) years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note
: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct within the health care setting. Justify your position.
Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital governing board’s manifesto.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
01
Current Scope
Problem statement
Many healthcare professionals are less adoptive to technology advances, they are not up to date with new medical discoveries, performance measurements and decrease coordination with each other (Seblega 2010). These deficiencies resulted in the analysis of challenges that exists with technology adoption to include, costs, interoperability, outdated technology, difficulty in use of technology and complicated asset tracking and implementation.
Who are affected?
Practicioners, managers, employees, investors, patients and the economy on a whole
Demographics
Analysis done on the two selected countries of Nigeria and the United States both concluded that technology adoption in healthcare is linked to usefulness and ease of use of technology.

History of problem
Discussion about the use of computers began in 1960s.
The possibility of electronic health records (EHR), were examined in 1991.
When did the problem appeared?
Since the discussion to use technology to enhance medical care
01 CONTINUES
CURRENT SCOPE
The challenges in health technology adoption is significant because despite the evolution of the society, the importance of these tools for modern technology to improve quality care outcomes and other elaborate benefits that are associated with it is limited (underutilized or low) because of factors to include financial concerns, poor infrastructure, low technical expertise and resistance from healthcare professionals (Zayyad 2018).
01 CONTINUES
What is currently being done?
The resistance experienced by both health professionals and patients soon decrease even because of the Coronavirus pandemic. This pandemic is a push factor towards medical technology adoption. Wicklund (2020), explained that the future of healthcare is now reshaped. The increase in the use of telemedicine is seen across the world as it helps in deciding which patients are to be seen in the hospital or elsewhere. This is believed that in order to prevent the spread of the virus patients must be isolated. In addition, there are technologies used to deal with Coronavirus namely symptom trackers, Chat.

Prepare Your initial post in this discussion must be informed by .docxshpopkinkz
Prepare:
Your initial post in this discussion must be informed by the required material for this discussion. The required material for this discussion will introduce you to what is new about Uber as a business model, the profit incentive in business, and how laws can make or break innovation in business. Your preparation should focus on the characteristics of capitalism and socialism, as well as other business concepts presented in the required material. Since your initial post in this discussion will examine the relation between running a business such as Uber and the laws and economic system of the nation(s) in which it operates, make sure to comb the material on Uber for laws, regulations, and the economic setting that affect its operations. You are encouraged to research relevant laws and regulations to make sure that you have current information. You will also need to review the material on the three ethical theories employed in the Week One Discussion as you will draw from that material for this week’s discussion too.
Reflect:
Keep in mind that Uber has presented itself into the market not as a transportation service but as a service that pairs consumers with ride sharing services by means of a unique phone app. But some sources—including the taxi industry and one California court finding (details in the required material), as well as the characterization of Uber presented in Section 3.4 of the textbook—seem to challenge this branding. According to these sources, Uber is avoiding laws that apply to the transportation industry and, thereby, usurping a rightful place that the taxi industry has carved for itself. Consumers, on the other hand, have shown their preference for Uber by a high demand for its services in the USA and abroad, including those countries in which Uber has been banned. Compared to taxis, Uber offers consumers an efficient system for procuring a ride even in remote areas where taxis do not frequent, a convenient payment method (no need for cash, and fares can be split among different users on the same ride), and significantly cheaper fares compared to taxis. In many instances, Uber cars come equipped with water, candy, and magazines, all for free. Uber drivers are also better off because they keep the majority of the fares for the rides that they service, which is exactly the opposite case of taxi drivers, and they can choose when they want to work. Clearly, this is a controversial case and thus very apt for the examination for this discussion.
Keep in mind that a nation’s economic system is shaped by the laws that are in place. Accordingly, laws (including state regulations and local ordinances) will give you a clue for the kind of economic system that exists. Keep in mind also that most nations have mixed economies and there is probably no economic system that purely represents socialism or capitalism. So you will find a different combination of both socialism and capitalism in any nation that you are examining.

1. Preface to the Professional Work Samples

2. Preface to the Professional Work Samples
The purpose of this professional work sample is to show the
performance and mastery of the program outcomes and
competencies for the psychology major. The work samples
illustrate the mastery of various program outcomes. I have had
to acquire knowledge of the learning outcomes through first
hand experiences I have obtained in creating my professional
portfolio and also in completing the previous course and going
through an undergraduate student.
From the assignments and projects, I have worked on before, I
can attest that I am a critical thinker and I do posses
information literacy. The cover letter required a critical
thinking and also possession of information literacy. The cover
letter required some well articulation of experiences and skills,
as well as the excellent flow of information. Such details help
to pass crucial information to the employer or the interview
panel.
The research skills evident in the work samples involve
learning, debating, practical and also analytical. The samples
depict the fact that, I have the ability to learn quite quickly and
also grasp some new concepts. The research done in the
previous course entailed identifying resources, as well as
collection and analysis of the data, doing experiments among
others. The discussion that involved the research done did
articulate ideas, peer group discussion, and also involved
supporting a single position with logic.
The work samples also depict excellent communication skills.
The writing of the cover letter did demonstrate that the person
3. can also replicate the same in oral communication. Research
projects also depict excellent communication skills. This is
quite crucial in psychology and professional portfolio, as it
presents knowledge in presenting a topic paper, a PowerPoint,
presentation outline among others. Communication skills are
quite crucial in interpersonal relations, and this is especially
when handling instances that need psychological intervention. It
is crucial for supervisory, counseling, negotiating and also
teamwork. The psychologist is able to explain and advise, as
well as establish work schedules that permit the victims to meet
the requirements. Counseling will involve supporting, listening
and facilitation, and hence it requires vast communication
skills. Communication skills also help in collaboration with
other researchers among others. My communication skills are
quite excellent.
The “
use of Internet Intervention
” assignment can attest the understanding of the ethical issues
in psychology. The work showed ethical issues of using the
internet or computer-based applications in solving issues arising
in psychology. One of the ethical issues is privacy and this is
because confidentiality of data cannot be guaranteed in the
internet or computer-based applications. The problem I do have
is the diversity awareness, and this is an area that needs
improvement in the future psychology works.
The assignments, projects and papers in the previous course
have had to demonstrate the understanding of various theories,
basic concepts, and also the empirical findings in some domains
of psychology. For instance, the critical thinking and
information literacy depicted in research papers is a clear
indication of the understanding of the cognitive theory, social
theory, and personality theory among others. Having knowledge
4. of foundations of the psychology field enable me to acquire
skills and knowledge that I was able to write a cover letter for
an employment as a psychology expert. In as much as I have the
knowledge of foundations of the psychology field, I need to
improve on this. There is a need to have all the concepts,
theories and domains of psychology in fingertips, such that it
would be quite easy and efficient to carry out or apply
psychology work.
The cover letter that I wrote for the Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Therapist was a clear indication that I was ready
to apply psychology. The assignment was a clear demonstration
of the solid experience in rehabilitation and drug addiction
counseling, which provided me with the ability to apply
psychology to personal, social and also organizational
problems. This is also an area that needs some improvement, as
it needs more than five years to have experience in the
application of psychology.
In terms of interpersonal effectiveness, I have an experience in
PowerPoint presentations. The only difficulty is the video
presentations. However, the PowerPoint presentations
demonstrate my ability to communicate quite effectively and
also appreciate the awareness of the impact on others. The
knowledge of the video presentation should be improved, and
this is to also ensure appreciation of diversity and cultural
sensitivity.
All the above strengths and competencies will be strengthen
further, and this is by gaining more knowledge, skills and
experiences in psychology. There are also sectors that need to
be improved, and this is as stated above. I will focus most on
the knowledge of foundations of the field, and this is because
5. without basic concepts, theories and domains of psychology, it
can be difficult to efficiently deliver in the field. The
psychology program is the best in equipping all the above
program outcomes. There is a need to do more assignments,
research and gain field experiences in order to develop the
strengths and overcome weaknesses in the future.

RE: Drug Addiction Counselor Position
Dear Mrs. Owen,
I am writing to apply for the Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Therapist with Western Mental Health Center. I am a
certified Mental Health Therapist. As stated in my resume, I
have many years of professional experience in counseling
adolescents and young adults who are mentally ill. In addition, I
hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.
Having the solid experience in teaching the mentally ill and
serving God, as well as volunteering, I possess the
comprehensive skill set as well as the hands-on understanding
required to affect some positive and overreaching results for the
victims at your institution.
My former position at one of the mentally ill center and doing
my own business under the banner of House of Mercy enabled
me to provide counseling on various issues to mentally ill youth
and also attend to them to communicate with officers and
maintain paperwork. I organize myself very well and manage
numerous tasks in a timely manner. I have excellent
communication skills, which allows me to write thorough
progress notes and keep center staff families and probation
personnel quite regularly updated. I am quite a compassionate
and competent counselor that has a strong grasp of counseling
theory. It would be quite an honor to share such attributes with
your institution and the community within as the newest drug
addiction counselor.
7. I look forward to learn more about this opportunity and to
discuss how I can contribute my strength at the Western Mental
Health Center. I appreciate your taking the time to review my
credentials and experience.
Sincerely,
Andre Justice
The Use of Internet Intervention
The Use of an Internet Intervention
Social anxiety disorder is a psychological issue that can benefit
from the use of internet intervention. The old method of
intervention to this disorder has been weekly appointments with
psychologists for some months, or years to engage about fears
or doing the cognitive-behavioral therapy at home. Currently,
researchers have began applying the internet as a way to impact
patient behaviors, and this is by reducing negative physical and
psychological symptoms (Ritterband, Et al, 527)
The internet based intervention to this disorder involves
creating a Challenger App. The app involves the gamified
platform, in which case it provides for the victims to engage in
the task of exposure therapy. In essence, the app will entail
some entertaining, social, and also customized settings to the
8. victim’s fears and worries. In addition, the app will permit the
victims to observe progress as they come close to their goals of
completing increasingly challenging exposures with the
assistance of psycho-educational lessons and awards. This is
possible as the app has a centerpiece called gameboard, which
plays the role of home screen.
Tracking and observing progress is the effective way of testing
the intervention. The Challenger App should have some benefits
that include encouraging the persons to reflect on their
experience. The app encourages participation.
The legal issues for the Challenger App includes compliance
with laws, regulations and agreements, app development,
selecting the platform for the app (for instance, the android,
windows phone, blackberry), and determining the underlying
arrangements with the client. One of the ethical issues is the
asynchronous, which implies no in real-time. It allows the
victims to communicate at their own ease. Privacy is the other
ethical issue. Sometimes patients suffering from such disorders
inadvertently or purposely disclose private details about
themselves to peers or online groups (Taylor & Luce, 2003). In
this case, the victims should be aware that confidentiality of
records cannot be guaranteed in such apps.
