Terrified, I struggled to eat or even breathe. I sought the help of my family physician. Immediate tonsil removal surgery was suggested. This was one of my first in-depth experiences with medicine, and one of the most memorable of my life. It was in this moment that I saw my future- biomedical engineering.
Having first hand clinical knowledge, due to my past ongoing medical issues, I fully understand the needs and limitations of medical providers. Additionally, having proactively developed a broad technical and business foundation through extensive coursework in electrical engineering, business technology, information and communication technology, and commerce, I am exceptionally well positioned to not only complete, but to excel in the Masters of Biomedical Engineering program.

I am constantly drawn to how I can apply the most abstract of theoretic engineering concepts to real world medical situations through biomedical engineering. Having seen first hand how an illness can sideline dreams and turn the most determined of people into a shell of his former self, I long to directly affect and improve the health of people not only in our country, but throughout the world. Through microelectronic technologies, one can bring advanced care and implantable devices to the most remote and underserved of areas.
In this lies my primary research interest- microelectronic technologies for treatment of common ailments. Since I have always been drawn to diversity, as evident by my passion for both empirical and social sciences and coursework in both, my research interests are similarly diverse. I am not focused on a single subspecialty within microelectronic technologies; instead, I seek to focus on which specific real world health issues. I will then direct my research toward the subspecialty that best matches the problem I am working on at a given
Jasmine Eubanks Biomedical/ Clinical Technician I picked this career choice because I would get to work with machines, and teach people about the machines. At my job I work with many different machines and teach people about the machines. These machines are designed to help me diagnoses treatment, and also monitor patients. Many of my responsibilities are me being responsible for data obtained from professional in relationship, teaching other medical people who might come in contact with the machines, and most importantly knowing what I’m doing at all times. Students wanting to learn about this can volunteer at local hospitals that have these machines, to watch and observe how and
My academic goals after I graduated from UC Irvine is to achieve a higher education beyond a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences. I have set going to dental school as a primary goal after graduating. My goal is to eventually obtain a D.D.S (Doctor of Dentist Surgery) degree. Working towards a specialty is an interest that I am very curious in pursuing; however, as of now becoming a general dentist is my main goal. What factor(s) made you interested in studying in the Biological/Biomedical School:
Obtaining this degree would not only assist with fulfilling credentialing requirements; but will also enhance my knowledge and skills so that I may continue to provide optimal quality and care services necessary to treat diverse
I can listen actively and attentively to patients and other healthcare professionals, and I am able to communicate effectively and clearly with them. I am comfortable working in teams and understand that effective communication is critical to building a cohesive and collaborative healthcare team. Regarding my academic record, while there have been challenges along the way, I have learned from those experiences and grown as a student. I have taken steps to address areas of weakness, such as seeking additional tutoring and developing better study habits.
Becoming an Anesthesia Assistant would allow me to work as a healthcare professional, help people in their time of need, and have an increasingly dynamic career. I know that my attention to detail, creativity, and critical thinking capacity developed over years working in the medical field make me an ideal candidate for the Master’s of Medical Science in Anesthesiologist Assistant program at Emory University. As my life progresses, I have created a desire for a profession that offers a varied assortment of opportunities. I find it gratifying to have a career that is not only rewarding for caring for surgical patients, but also the attraction of a career that is a life long learning process. The attractiveness of a career with different possibilities and education expansion is energizing and motivational.
It was refreshing, innovative, yet sophisticated as the idea of nanotainer was very foreign to everyone. The question was if Holmes could execute everything that she envisioned when Holmes founded this company. The answer was quite simple: it was improbable to execute the plans. First, the technology showed inaccurate blood test results that some patients were revisited for traditional method. Because it was cheaper and faster, the patients were sent back to Theranos partnered centers for blood tests (2).
I want to be a part of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (Ph.D.) at the West Virginia University in Fall 2018 since it will give me the vibrant intellectual environment and rich facilities that allow for an extensive variety of research approaches. I want to get admission in Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences Ph.D. Programs because the core research fields they provide exactly match with my research interest like drug delivery and Pharmacology. I found from the university’s website that the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is associated with different research centers which I am very excited to be a part of. After going through the faculty directory and their research interests, I
I enjoy engineering, in fact when I get older I want to become a biomedical engineer. I want to be able to help people. As well as find solutions to help people in their everyday lives. So that hopefully it would make life easier and less stressful for them. I enjoy all the problem solving that comes with engineering.
Biomedical engineers do anything on a range from designing artificial internal organs, to present their research findings to other scientists,
Lauren Tan AP Lang - Afram Period 6 30 May 2017 Stem Cells Controversy Scientists and doctors need to be able to have access to stem cells in order to save and improve more people’s lives. In 2010, there was a two-year-old girl born in South Korea who was born without a windpipe. She was not able to eat, drink, swallow, or breathe on her own for three years and doctors thought she was not going to make it. But, by using the two-year-old girl’s own stem cells from her bone marrow, scientists were able to perform an operation on her, which eventually saved her life.
The first area that seems to be discussed the most is the ability to create personalized medicine. Up until recently it has been hard to read every patient’s genome, and it took forever. Earlier this year, the FDA cleared the use of the Illumina MiSeqDx, which is a machine that allows hospitals to sequence a patient’s genome in only a few hours, and much more accurately. This is making the ability to use personalized medicine a reality in the near future. This will allow doctors to understand the risks of a patient based on their code.
PERSONAL STATEMENT (NURFATIN BT MOHD SHAH) I want to further my study in this course because it is thrilling and rapidly- moving subject area, that is highly pertinent to the problem facing by society today. As far as I concern, cardiovascular disease is one of the popular cause of death. I am keen to learn more and involve in the latest advances in cardiovascular research. Over the years of studying, my interest in this area has increased.
I am interested in academic medicine with a heavy concentration in translational research. Academic medicine would allow me to continue my passion for teaching by educating and mentoring aspiring physicians. My research interest lies in regenerative medicine, specifically using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in order to discover innovative cures for patients. As a researching physician, I want to change the face of medicine by using iPSCs to model diseases, 3D print transplantable tissue, and prevent organ rejection through decellularization and recellularization of organs. Stem cell research allows physicians to solve the root problem of the disease rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Academically, I’m primarily interested in biomedical and materials engineering. Johns Hopkins has the best biomedical engineering program in the country, and undergraduates have the opportunity to study BME, traditionally and through research. More importantly, the emphasis on interdepartmental collaboration, and student collaboration in general, makes it an ideal learning environment for me. I learn best when I work with others to create something better than any of us could come up with alone. For example, last summer I worked at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research where I learned about bioinformatics and computer science.
Nevertheless, Christians bear a duty to contemplate biblically about all aspects of life. Scriptures are the final authority and ultimate judge on all aspects of life as they signify the consistent and clear word of the great supernatural being. God has articulated and, in his message, has professed the inviolability of human life. Creatures made in God's image and converted through the gospel should bear a certain role to agree with God’s evaluation of life and follow human lives for their supreme good. As a result, this call requires a different degree of awareness of prospective impacts of the several methods of medical technology which human being might employ.
