Article Title: Prominence of Analytical Chemistry in Modern-Day Healthcare: Current Medical Discoveries, Student Perspectives, and Systems Thinking.
Abstract: In the course of two years (2018 and 2020), anatomists and medical professionals became wonderstruck by two significant organ The findings were previously undetected by conventional standards of medicine. Two different research groups and specialties, nonetheless, relied on applications founded on the principles of analytical chemistry education and techniques. In this article, I penned a discussion on both medical discoveries birthed through analytical processes. Secondarily, an examination of student perspectives on the versatility of analytical chemistry in healthcare and a review of the seemingly minimal representation (toward awareness) of analytical chemistry in health sciences programs are presented: Should there be a higher representation of analytical chemistry topics in undergraduate and graduate health profession programs? If so, what would be the plan of action? Increased notability of analytical chemistry in health sciences textbooks? Or the inception of a nontechnical novel analytical chemistry course for health sciences majors? Here, I attempt to answer these questions and present a plausible solution with the goal of acknowledging the prominence of analytical chemistry in medicine today.
