CMSRU Case Study

I plan to attend Brigham Young University this fall and take advantage of their excellent Family Life Human Development Department. I have read that BYU Provo 's Child Life program is amazing and that I can learn everything there I need to achieve my dream vocation. BYU Provo is also one of the few schools that offer the Child Life Specialist major. It has a wonderful children 's hospital close by, which would be invaluable for an internship and practicum. Child Life Specialists are child development experts who work to make sure life remains as normal as possible for children in health care. They work with medical staff to meet the unique needs of each child and family. Through my experience as a patient, I believe I can be forward-looking, equipped with knowledge of what helped me. I have faith in my good intentions and goals in life. I never plan to give up and always expect to

When I was three years old my parents decided to enroll me into Head Start to provide me with an early start to my educational career. Before I attended Head Start my parents were required to take me to get an updated physical, vaccinations, and a dental exam. The required doctors’ visits along with the educational service provided by Head Start are the primary factors that have molded me into the person that I am today. The friendly and compassionate staff at Head Start who recognized physical well-being went hand in hand with a successful educational experience are the reason why I would like to pursue a career in the medical field.

I consider myself a diligent, enthusiastic student, eager to meet challenges and quick to assimilate concepts, as I excel in the classroom as well as outside of it, which is why I’m sure I would extremely benefit from the EMSAP program, I’m confident this program will provide me the experience of an academic preparation that will help me obtain acceptance into medical school; not only would I personally benefit from the academic advising and mentoring but I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of the EMSAP program to gain acceptance into the University of Texas Medical Branch at

Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult. Now that I have my mind set on my aspirations, I hope to practice the qualities needed to be a triumphant dentist and dental surgeon. Of course everyone wants success, wealth, and happiness in the future. My long term goal is to pursue a career in the field of dentistry and earn my DDS (doctorate in dental surgery)

I have worked with medical students who come from the UA COM-P culture and I believe they bring a great amount of cultural awareness to their role on the healthcare team.  The focus of early clinical exposure at UA COM-P makes a significant difference in learning how to care for people. The UA COM-P emphasis on cultural diversity allows for more learning opportunities and fully encompasses what it means to take care of the patient and not just treat a disease.  I entered the medical field wanting to be at the bedside helping people.  I think this gives me a unique view, and ability to help contribute to UA COM-P diversity centered training and culture.  Being at the bedside for 40 plus hours a week for almost 4 years I've learned that all

I have chosen public health as my major because it is a dynamic field. I have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and helping others achieve their goals. It is with great passion that I am dedicated and willing to contribute my service or skills to help someone in need. My philosophy of health education is very simple, to prevent, improve and educate the lives of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies. Besides, there is no safer way to touch people’s lives than through public health.

Morehouse School of Medicine prides itself on improving the health and well being of people of color and those in underserved populations, which I believe is congruent with my aspirations. As a teen, I spent my first two years of high school living in Montego Bay, Jamaica. My experience as an underserved minority living in the Caribbean allowed me a direct view of the health care disparities in an underserved population and gave me the unique perspective into the needs of this cohort. After that time, I went on to attend an inner-city high school plagued by violence and drug abuse. During my senior year alone, I lost three of my classmates to gun violence. These experiences are just two of many that have influenced my decision to work in a similar environment upon my completion of medical school.

In the past 18 months, I have continued to shadow various physicians across a variety of specialties that serve different communities. Each time, I am amazed at their ability to heal patients with various ailments. This sense of wonder leaves me wanting to learn more and motivates me to eventually become a physician that has the ability to heal all of these patients as well. In addition, I have shadowed physicians for their full twelve-hour shifts, so I have seen all of the aspects of the career. Though there may be some less desirable aspects, such as the required time spent completing charts, I realize the importance of it. Through these shadowing experiences, I can be assured that I am making an informed decision and pursuing a career that

Throughout my life, I have perception of the world has changed with the aquiration of new knowledge. Throughout my life I have began to gain consciousness of issues that people of color, people like me, Latina, immigrant-descent, low-income face in everyday life. I always knew since a young age that I wanted to help people, my people. I knew I had to become someone to have the ability to be herd and listened too regardless of the color of my skin, someone worth remembering, someone who created change, someone who my parents could be proud of, but most importantly someone who I can be proud of. When I came to UCLA, a young naïve Latina, who left her bubble community back in Huntington Park, CA, I became aware of how other students were way

I strongly believe I am an excellent candidate for your program because I am focused, hard-working and passionate about offering help to communities. I also have good insight into the economic and infrastructural processes required to accomplish sustainable change in preventive medicine and generally in the healthcare sector of my country. Born and raised in rural southern Nigeria, I have traveled through various regions and even more frequently in the last three years, and am aware of the core health and economic challenges facing my country. A post-graduate training in public health will enable me to demonstrate wide competency in the field of public health, allow me to be effective as a credible voice for positive change to existing health programs and also provide a fine theoretical background to maximize the practical basis upon which I have practiced as a full time healthcare professional for the past two years and volunteered at various medical missions since my undergraduate years. This program will also allow me to relate to professionals who share my goals at both colleague and Faculty

Last week I obtained knowledge on the history of medicine. Specifically, I learned how African Americans played an essential role in the history of medicine. Prior to last week I was not well-versed in the history of medicine. However, I was knowledgeable on how African Americans slaves were used for medical research. Slaves were the test subjects for various revered doctors at that time. This was a very unfortunate situation, because these slave did not have the right to reject this treatment. In particular, many female slaves were used in reproductive research. The pain that these slaves experienced was not of concern to doctors. Slaves were dehumanized and treated like animals. Thus, this medical practice was considered ethical. This is

Describe how informed consent is undertaken by members of your profession, and which ethical considerations are included in the process?

My experiences in my own underserved community, as well as the one I worked in as a Teach for America corps member, have shown me how desperately we need quality physicians. I want to be that physician and provide healthcare tailored to the underserved.
