(technology innovation) GETTING STARTS ON UMDNJ SUPPLEMENTAL ESSAY FOR DPT PROGRAM

Describe a technology innovation that will impact physical therapy services in 10 years. What is it and how will it help patients or the profession?

Does anyone have an idea of how I can start this off?? I am so lost!

Hei Anastasia! :D

It is obvious that this assignment requires you to do some research, so start googlin' terms like: "biomedical engineering trends" or "medical recent discoveries". Get familiar with what you are going to talk about and see what fields you can cover whilst still looking for "technology innovation".

What you mustn't forget throughout your essay is to not jump directly into explaining bold stuff with complicated medical terms. Perhaps it would be better to start off by offering some examples; like: a device that will allow doctors to analyze the patient's blood instantly or a means of transportation so fast that transplant organs could reach destinations 3000 km away in few minutes. I don't know ... the idea is, let the reader become familiar with what you are going to talk about.

Personally, I think it is interesting to look into biomedical engineering since machines are the first thing a person things about when he hears about technology. So, based upon the research you have vigorously done, you can explain current trends and assume what future days might look like for humankind. At this point, really, you can let your mind wander off (a tad).

Good luck!
