The health education profession has made significant advances throughout the past few decades. However, health education is still described as an emerging profession. This article suggests strategies to move health education from its status as an emerging profession into that of an acknowledged profession. The authors assert that actively seeking direct third-party reimbursement will advance health education's emergence as a profession as well as increase its legitimacy in the eyes of other professions. The benefits of direct third-party reimbursement, experiences of the nursing profession's pursuit of direct third-party reimbursement, and the current status of health education are discussed. The article concludes by offering strategies for pursuing direct third-party reimbursement.

Midwifery clinical practice and education has changed significantly since Mary Breckinridge first introduced nurse-midwives to the United States in 1925. This article discusses current challenges in midwifery clinical practice and education and proposes possible solutions. Midwifery clinical challenges include restrictive legislation and business-related barriers, including but not limited to physician supervision restrictions, prescriptive authority, out-of-hospital birth legislation, and third party reimbursement. Educational challenges highlighted include the current healthcare climate’s influence on midwifery education, the contribution of clinical sites and preceptors, and the benefits of midwifery education.

The relevance of scientific research is caused primarily by the general transition of the society to the funds’ transfer network. Physical money is replaced by virtual one, the access to which is granted remotely. Therefore, in some situations, a lawbreaker can gain possession of non-cash resources far easier than stealing the cash of a possible victim. For the past two decades, lawbreakers successfully apply lots of ways allowing a lawbreaker both to possess personal information of another person – bank cardholder and, subsequently, to steal money from a holder’s account. The paper determines the objective signs of a crime against property and the list of attributes typical for stealing money funds from a bank card. The authors distinguish the objective signs of two bodies of a crime, which can fall within the definition of embezzlement from a bank card: a theft from a bank account, and fraud using electronic payment facilities. The authors conclude that the embezzlement from a bank card throw the commission of fraudulent acts is possible only when interacting with a third party. The actual presence of another person (a victim or an employee of credit, bank, commercial, or other organization) and the interaction of a criminal with this person is a prerequisite for classifying a crime as a fraud. Any actions aimed at the unlawful seizure of non-cash monetary assets and not accompanied by direct contact with a third party should be classified as theft.
