#Week 12: Building a Production Team
Topic: Ethnicity Diversity in the Medical Field
Purpose: Persuade students and medical professions in different backgrounds to enter the medical field and work in different ethnicity environments to achieve diversity.
Audience: Students going into the nursing field (college age people) and those pursuing a degree in the medical/healthcare field.
Solution: To encourage students to volunteer in the medical field for new experiences outside of their comfort zone.
Part 2: Main focus is Audience
Ethos: According to Dr. Carlos Gutierrez, he states that it’s important for nurses to be comfortable with their working atmosphere especially when there are diverse patients in the area. --”Diversity in the nursing field can achieve cultural competence by helping us come together to work with different cultures encountered in the workplace”.
-->”It is essential to create an academic environment that facilitates intellectual curiosity and respect for diverse viewpoints, whether cultural, racial or gender” (McGraw & Epeneter).
-->We have to have a workforce that mirrors the different diverse communities to give equal opportunity” (NMNA 2015).
(this video discusses a nurse’s experience as they enter a diverse atmosphere and some insight on the diversity issues in the field of nursing).
Pathos: Given the audience that is being targeted, the main aim is to emphasize the importance of those going into the medical field and help them learn that having diverse experience with others does help them when entering any field.
Through the use of targeting this specific audience, students will be able to understand that it’s not a bad idea to “get your feet wet” in working in a diverse community with different ethnic nurses, doctors and patients.
Ethos: Students need to be advised that interacting with diverse patients can change the atmosphere of the workforce and benefit the other nurses present, since they have some experience in working in a culturally different area.
Dr. Gutierrez mentions that there needs to be more diversity in any area of the medical field and encourages other students who are going into nursing or entering the medical field to engage in diverse situations.
-->There will be more statistics added to the information being shown as more data is collected throughout the research.
Solution: The solution is to encourage students to volunteer at hospitals, clinics, or offices and have them learn from different diverse nurses, along with deal with different cultural patients in order for them to gain a higher level of knowledge.
