Vulnerable Population Essay

Topic: Sickle Cell Disease
Health Disparity:

Due to a limited number of physicians who train to treat Sickle Cell patients, there are longer wait
times to see a doctor and get pain medication.

The student will compose an essay on a vulnerable population (that has not been discussed in a previous discussion board) and an instructor-approved health disparity related to this population. The student will identify, research, build upon, and/or create a method to help reduce/eliminate the health disparity in this population, not simply discuss a method that is already in place. When applicable, make sure to discuss any state or governmental involvement.
