In the US, health expenditure is nearly sixteen percent of the GDP with bureaucracy consuming about thirty-one percent of the expense (Gorman, 2008). In addition, up to forty-five million Americans lack adequate access to quality healthcare. However, the principle obstacle facing the healthcare system is the shortage of well-educated medical doctors who are adequately prepared to handle the various challenges encountered in the profession (Gorman, 2008). Thus, improvements in the education and certification of doctors ...

In the recent past, there has been a growing trend whereby college students are seeking protection from words that they do not like in the name of safeguarding their emotional wellbeing.

I believe that without using critical thinking a professional can make significant mistakes that will cost him and his company money and reputation. For me, this set of skills is always particularly helpful when I need to get rid of my biases, emotional influence ...
