Hi,

I'm a high schooler that is part of the IB program. One of the requirements of the program is that we must complete an essay between 3000-4000 words (I'm not complaining because I know that once I hit college, 5000 words is like a weekend project). I really want to do it on human anatomy, or anesthesiology, so I was wondering if any of you guys have ideas. The requirements are that the topic cannot be clinically based: it must focus on the biological aspects of whatever the topic may be. Also, it can't be something obvious that can be easily figured out by doing simple research. So yeah let me know.

thanks

Hey buddy, quit cross-posting, and quit asking "What does a ___ologist do?" in every medical & dental forum you can find.
 
hey "buddy",

sorry if I pissed you off with my cross posting, but Im' past the whole -ologist thing. I read through the stickies again and actually found info this time. I'm cross posting for this just so that more people will reply. Afterall, if you actually read my question instead of making assumptions, you would have seen that I have interest in multiple areas, so I was hoping that people FROM those areas could give me suggestions. If I just posted on this forum, "I need help finding a topic for anesthesiology" and posted somewhere else "I need help finding a topic for neurology", then people will just think I'm trolling, when thats not my intention (and who can blame them). So calm down. I'm done whoring the forum, but I can see where ur coming from.

Hope that clears some stuff up,
S_H
 
I will throw you a bone....

Go to any academic/university hospital website in your area and find the lab profile of researcher's interest. You can contact them and see if they will take you or pick up any anesthesia journal to find out what are "hot topics" and find out if you can work on that project in their lab.
