The use of technologies within the different subjects you've studied this year

Introduction

Every moment, most amount of information of all kinds is available through of internet. Many information on the latest advances in the scientific world is now available to all the people who is interested on various issues.

So, the internet plays a key role in globalization in a technological level, because is very quick to share information.

This year, the first in the university, I have used different types of technologies for various academic purposes, mainly in research, and now I will say you how has been this experience.

Body

I remember the first week of classes in the university, in the subject of ''celular biology'' I had to research a paper in which I should find out and make a report about a rare autoimmune disease. There was not much information, but later I found many websites of scientific publications, in which treated general aspects of this pathology, and in others websites were more specific, even talking about the molecular foundations because this disease occurred. All of this was absolutely new for me, because in the college the research were not so specifics and with a grade of requirement so important, and that´s way, was very hard at first for me organize an efficient and accurate search .

Also, the internet has been very important for me in the others subjects, like: genetics, biochemestry, developmental biology, and even in not scientist subjects, like anthropology and psychology, to make reports, solve seminar questions and search information to study for the tests. In sumary, in this sense, I can say that the internet has been very important for me this first year in the university, because I can find all that I need only doing a few clicks from my computer.

Conclusion

I think that the information technologies are essencials for the scientists advances, because make posible that the information can move more easy around the world and so be distributed with a much more efficient in the scientific community and the common people.

Also, I think that is important to know how search the information, to maximize the opportunities that this technology offers us, and that´s why I happy of have had that research because it allowed me to know a world of information not known.

Challenges in your discipline

Well, today I will talk about my career and the challenges to face and resolve in the present and in the future in the area of obstetrics.

Obstetrics is the science that studies the physiology and patology of the woman during her pregnancy and her reproductive cycle. Also the Obstetrician is the professional who is the responsable of the newborns till the day 28. Also this professional is the responsable of guide the process of delivery and that´s why the Obstetrician had an important role in the society, in spite of the obstetrician had not so social prestige than a physician, or a dentist.

The challenges that must overcome Obstretrics are much, in varied areas like:

- Technology: In many publics hospitals the implements that are used by obstetricians are very old or are in a bad state, compared with a privated clinic. Also, in the publics hospitals the procedures are focused on a more rapid attention, but not necessarily to a best attention to the patient.

I tink that the solution to this problem is ask more resources to the government, and understand that the people who assists to a public centre of health have the same rights of recieve a good attention, than a patient of a private clinic.

- Social Matter: This point is very important. Because the obstetrician is the professional in charge of the process of the delivery, have the big responsability of recieve the baby, and also of be the nexus between the mother and the newborn. I think that the deliveries must be the more naturals possible, if are not a risk for the mother or for the fetus.

- Education: This point also is very important, because the obstetrician must educate to the people about how to avoid the diseases of sexual transmission, and also about the teenage pregnancy. This point also is related in the ''Social matter'' because, in general, the diseases of sexual transmission and the teenage pregnancy are related in the low-income populations.

I think that doing the educational talks in schools is the solution for this problem.

My Faculty

When I joined to the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad of Chile, the best university in my country, to study obstetrics this year, really I loved this place. It´s located in Independencia # 1027 Avenue, and by his halls and auditoriums have passed many generations of health professionals and famous people, like Salvador Allende and Michelle Bachelet.

In spite of the beauty of this place, has some aspects to improve, like it´s infrastructure, e.g. : the bathrooms, wich sometimes are nasty, and improve in the green areas, to make more nice the free time, and to study with a better disposition.

Also, we need more activities to relax when we are here in the faculty, like better infrastructure to practice sports or a place dedicated to the culture and the art ( in special the music, in my opinion). Also to make more nice our stay here improve in the calefaction, because the faculty is very cold in winter. Also, is necessary eject the dogs that are in the halls of the university and even enter to the auditoriums.

I think that if this aspects are improved, the students would be better in the disposition to study, and would improve the academic performance, because the faculty would be a place more nice to be.

In general, that are the needs more urgent in this moment. If this aspects are improved, the only need of the Universidad de Chile will be keep it academic excellence of ever, to follow being the best university in Chile and one of the best in the world.
