Part 1 This portion of the project is your chance to compare the health services you can access to the care available in other parts of the world. Start by researching health services in your community. Think about the doctor you visit when you are sick, the immunizations and screenings for vision and hearing you can get at school, a local drug store, or even the shopping mall. Also consider what happens when you have a major emergency and your ability to have care with just a 911 call away. Then research medical care in a third-world country. What happens when a person living in one of those countries becomes seriously ill or has a bad accident? How far must they travel to see a doctor or go to a hospital? Write a 250-word synopsis that compares and contrasts the two worlds.

Part 2
Your medical needs change as you pass through different periods of your life. As a child, you receive vaccinations to guard you against certain diseases, or you may visit an urgent care facility for a sprained ankle. Your medical needs as a teen may range from visiting a dermatologist for skin care to a trip to the emergency room for a sports-related injury. As an adult, health care needs may range from cholesterol screenings to back problems. In a minimum of 250 words, describe the different situations requiring professional health services for people of all ages such as primary, preventive, and emergency care.
