I know it is hard to do it NOW because we are so good at coming up with pointless things we need to do. Do it NOW anyway.

Hi everyone, welcome to HMGT Research Seminar where every HMGT student is welcome but his/her friend Procrastinating Paul is disliked and shunned. There is absolutely no room for procrastination in this class. You need to pick your topic, make it smaller and manageable and work with it.

I would recommend you pick a topic that you care about so that you are motivated to write.  Your topic will evolve during the course of the semester and you may feel lost for a while but your outline should keep you on course and grounded. Please, if you are having problems with your outline, schedule an appointment with Professor Sharpiro in order to understand because your outline will definitely be your best friend.

Pick a topic you are passionate about that will motivate you to keep writing and manage your time effectively so you will have a successful work completed.

Again, please be punctual in your projects and don’t be like that guy below or Marlie and I and procrastinate due to discouragement and a lack of a solid outline.

Kick Procrastinating Paul in the butt!

Choosing the right topic can be very challenging, because everything else rests on the foundation of it, that is why it’s crucial to choose it very carefully. I decided to go with medical tourism in Medellin, Colombia. A city that has gone through a lot, going from being the most dangerous city in the world in the 80’s and early 90’s to being the most creative and innovative. I had some challenge searching for information about medical tourism in Medellin, every time I did a research to support my paper I found that countries as India, Thailand, China, Korea, between others, were the principal pioneers in medical tourism around the world. So, then I decided for focusing on Latin Americans from U.S, patients that are not going to travel that far, instead they will look for places in Latin America as Colombia to make it as their medical tourism destination. There are a lot of competence in Latin America for medical tourism, so I built a plan for Latin Americans traveling to Medellin, a plan that invites them to the most quality and majestic city in South America, just a within few files away and so much to discover.
