I have always wanted to understand the science behind disease and its treatment. Perhaps that sprang from watching my father, a physical therapist, treat his patients, but it continues even today. As a teenager I was a champion at Carrom, a cue sport requiring strategic thinking and what I call “precise intuition”. These qualities now help me evaluate possible diagnoses and identify the correct diagnosis and management plan. As I grew into adulthood I adopted Gandhi’s idea that with the belief that one can do something, one will acquire the capacity to do it. This resolve helped me overcome financial and health hardships to get into medical school. I want to bring my strengths – curiosity, intuition, hard work and perseverance - to an Internal …show more content…
The Structured Preceptorship at Drexel University gave me real insight into a residency program and challenges faced during residency. A typical day involved attending morning report along with residents, going for inpatient rounds and attending conferences, while interacting with residents, fellows and attendings. Online assignments, standardized patient exams and feedback from the preceptor allowed me to improve continuously. The Cardiology externship at Detroit Medical Center gave me hands-on clinical experience in handling patients. Everyday interactions with patients improved my communication skills and confidence levels, making me ready for the next level of clinical …show more content…

Skidmore College has an exceptional Pre-med Track program. The Health Professions Advisory Committee provides students with advisors. With the help of my advisor, I will be able to navigate the challenges that lie ahead on my journey towards acceptance to medical school. Ultimately, my dream of becoming a
My goal is to become a primary doctor working with underserved communities, especially the Latino community. My work and volunteer experience and my professional goal are committed to provide service to the community with cultural competence, diversity and service orientation. CMSRU humanistic education in the art and science of medicine will complement these life experiences, characteristics, as well as my professional and personal interests and goals. As a medical student at CMSRU I will be able to receive an excellent education in patient care, will feel included in the CMSRU community, will share and strengthen my professionalism, collaborative and and civic responsibility skills. The mission and core values of CMSRU match my interests,
My psychology training allowed me to improve my interpersonal skills that will certainly aid me in your residency program. During my clinical rotations, and observerships in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, I was extremely fortunate to work with professors and physicians that were more than willing to share their knowledge and wisdom with me. From teaching students in medical school to currently tutoring students for USMLE, I have always tried to pass on that knowledge. Throughout my career, I have recognized, learning is
Penn State’s Four-Pillar Model is a standout. Clinical Science and Basic Science are the fabric of any medical program, but Penn State adds the Humanities and Systems Science pillars. As a humanities major and holistic thinker, this program is a perfect fit for me. Additionally, I have over twelve months of clinical experience and desire early clinical exposure; I thrive in small-group and team settings. Therefore, I believe PSU
My dream is to become a pediatric oncologist at St. Jude Children’s Hospital, so this program is a big opportunity for me that will help prepare me for my future
Last year, my Osteopathic application was made in haste and was submitted as a back up plan to failing Allopathic applications. As a part of completing the primary application and also preparing for Osteopathic interviews, I discovered that the Osteopathic philosophy appeared to be a better fit for me. Shadowing an Osteopathic physician as well as an Allopathic physician has solidified this observation. Last year’s failed attempt to gain entry to medical school has been soul crushing and has forced me to consider other career paths. During this period, I have examined many options.
Curiosity has always driven me towards positive new experiences, from leaving the comforts of home to obtain a degree in veterinary medicine in a third world country to now attempting to further my knowledge in the field of radiology. Now I am excited to be applying for a residency program where I can indulge my curiosity and further build on my passion in the study of radiology. After learning about Ross University, I jumped at the opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian while indulging my curiosity to experience the culture in a third world country. I solely applied and accepted the offer to attend.
I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities
The practice of medicine is seen everywhere. The conventional worldview is the pharmaceutical route to the onset of illnesses and conditions. However, there is an opposing worldview, which I see myself as, and that is emphasizing healing through exercise, nutrition, and self-care. Through observing my parents and learning in nursing school how the body works, this had shaped my worldview on the practice of medicine.
The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University’s (LKSOM) mission and values reflect the will of an institution to impart students with an understanding of the necessary balance between gaining knowledge and fostering a sense of community. This commitment manifests in the emphasis on longitudinal care, interprofessional team learning, and the many varied opportunities for volunteering in the city and abroad. The opportunity to contribute to a wonderful community in one of the most culturally vibrant cities in America has drawn me to LKSOM. An education at LKSOM means many things: living in a beautiful city, having the opportunity to participate in world-changing research, serving an incredibly diverse patient population, traveling abroad, as well as pursuing various other life-changing experiences.
The SMP will utilize a group mentoring model, specifically a mentoring quad (Zachary, 2012). In this mentoring quad model, three medical students will be matched with a faculty mentor. Students benefit not only learning from a mentor but from each other as well. Before mentoring quads begin, students will first meet one-on-one with their mentor for two sessions. During these sessions, mentor and mentee will have the opportunity to get to know each other, establish healthy boundaries, as well as engage in mutual goal
I am interested in your New Graduate Nurse Residency Program. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Boston and recently obtained my MA RN license in August 2015. I choose to be an RN because I love learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body and working with people. When I was a little girl, I would watch the Discovery Health channel instead of watching cartoons. In high school, I became interested in social justice work when I did a month long volunteer service trip to India.
Through becoming a nurse I aspire to take my education in medicine and delegate my efforts to not only improving the medical status of my patients but also to improve the mental well being of them as well. My experience growing into a world where prime physical health was not an option, the opportunity to see how a staff of passionate nurses can contribute to the mental stability and growth of a patient was an honor and inspiration that drives my passion for this career choice. Also, over the last few years I have grown a particular interest in medical research and would love to take his passion with me to expand my interest and contribute to the extensive research program at
To further explore the field of medicine I participated in New Jersey Medical School Premed Honors Program and SMART program for high school students. In these programs I was taught the basics of medicine by medical students and received lectures on several prevalent topics in modern medicine such as cancer, stem-cell research, and health policy by renowned doctors from all over the United States. It was at the end of these courses that I had solidified my decision to pursue a degree in
I feel that my particular experiences and passion will add strength and diversity to the USF medical class. Growing up from a lower socio-economic status has exposed me to a certain lifestyle in which one must be flexible and resilient in order to survive. In order to traverse the hardship, one must develop inner strength at a younger age. Those experiences has shaped my perspective on the outcome of hard work and opportunity. I am a firm believer of the saying, "What don 't kill you, makes you stronger".
