Like the MEPN program, I’m committed to engaging, educating, and treating underserved communities alongside like-hearted healthcare professionals. My deep compassion, extensive work experiences, and honed leadership skills have uniquely equipped me to bring my own contributions to the richness of the MEPN program. It doesn’t stem solely from my upbringing but from my proactive determination to develop and transcend within my work and education. Additionally, I firmly believe that the art and science of quality and inclusive healthcare begin with understanding the challenges and needs of underserved populations.
In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports.
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,
Morehouse School of Medicine is an appealing option for pursuing my medical education. When reading Morehouse’s mission statement, improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities grasped my attention. My clinical experiences revolve around communities that are underserved, and sharing the same mission as Morehouse is key to becoming the physician I aspire to be. One of the things that stood out to me about Morehouse is the student run Good Samaritan Health Center. I am very interested about being involved with God Samaritan, because it is akin to the Siloam Family Health Center that I volunteer at, and it is an embodiment of Morehouse’s mission.
By being a part of the organizations listed above, I encounter many opportunities of community service and volunteer work that contribute to enhancing CSU and its community. Being a member of The Competitive Premedical Program, we are given the opportunity to volunteer
I have a heart for community service which led to participating in city-wide advocacy campaigns. One of the initiatives was advocating with the Alliance for Quality Education for Universal Pre-K in New York City. I travelled to Albany, NY to participate in an education rally and spoke with my assemblyman Herman Farrell, on behalf of the families of New York City, to gain his support for UPK. Within a year the initiative was approved, and the following school year the UPK program was implemented. As a leader in the social justice ministry of my church I coordinated a Sunday, with the New York City Department of Education representatives, which allowed them to speak to our congregation of over 9,000 members, and enroll children into pre-kindergarten the same day.
As of last year, I became Co-President of the Stand Up Against Cancer Club. The officer positions were passed down to myself and two other friends our sophomore year by senior of the class of 2015. Though our club had a very slow start last year, we are excited to recruit new members and hopefully conduct more service projects. We hope to get the school more involved with our club and want to make a difference even if its only in small measures. Last year, we made christmas cards to send to Brenner’s children’s hospital.
I have always been interested in the medical field, and I have always tried to be part of any organization that would increase my knowledge about different medical careers. Currently, I am part of my school’s Allied Health Academy that allows students who want to pursue a medical career to earn their CNA certifications. Also, I am the president of my high school’s HOSA chapter. As the president, I go to the HOSA’s state conventions where I get a chance to meet students who have similar goals and aspirations. Through UF’s HOSA chapter, I would like to continue interacting with students who have passion for the medical professions and represent UF at its state and national
Tax and health are two major components involved in our daily life. Public needs to be educated with general knowledge and informed with available service of both. Currently, I am a volunteer at Sparrow Hospital (Lansing, MI). In addition, I want to serve local public in a different way(tax) and I am capable to do it, such as , become a member of Taxpayer Advocacy Panel. I have been a medical researcher and teacher for over 20-year.
She has a great understanding of healthcare and a great appreciation of what it takes to truly make a difference on the lives of others. Ms. Atweaban started as a girl with compassion in her heart and a goal in her mind. After receiving her Bachelor's of Science in
Often in life, we come across situations that may stretch us and challenge us, finding ourselves forced to get out of our comfort zone. Volunteering is definitely not for everyone, people may not have the adequate time, confidence, knowledge. But that does not mean you avoid the situation at all times, you must allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience things that you would never think about doing. On the first week of volunteering it was a bit intense for me, as I found it difficult and little bit sad to watch the women living the way they do, for some reason I felt that they were always missing their children and grandchildren. Some of the residents did not even have family so they never got visitations.
As pre-veterinary students, we are choosing to devote our lives to caring for animals and the people who care for them. Therefore, it is necessary that we learn to serve others, which is why community service is a key component to our career development, as well as our self-development, for it teaches us selflessness and compassion for others. Aside from personal improvement, community service is important because it is our communities who have shaped us as individuals, and I believe we should give back to those within them. As a member of the Pre-Veterinary Club’s Community Service Committee, my goal would be for all members to develop a strong desire to give back. I am responsible, highly motivated, and creative, and I would work hard to
I aspire to enter into a career as a research scientist in a health-related field, with a specific interest in the biology and chemistry of cancer. This career path was inspired collectively from my early interest in helping and mentoring others as well as my life experiences growing up in rural Louisiana (LA). This love of "helping others in need" was instilled into me early in my life as I learned the virtues of applying my efforts in elevating the wellbeing of people in need. I often volunteered my services at homeless shelters, food drives, and at American Cancer Society and American Chemical Society outreach events. In addition, in school, I often helped tutor my peers in STEM subjects and received words of thanks and notes of appreciation
By May 2015’s end, Operation Smile informed me that, though my skill set was desired, I had not been selected as a Program Coordinator. The difficult realization that I would not be able to achieve the career goal for which I had worked so hard left me devastated, wondering what to do next. I have always had a strong desire to help and care for people, and knew I had something to offer, but wasn’t sure where to channel my skills and
One day, sometime near I shall become a Billionaire and I myself will help not only by money, but also by sitting in with other powerful people to influence to help others. My interest in my major has led many wonders in my soul, to how great an impact I can play in society and help uplift. I can help ten patients; those ten patients can help ten people each and so goes on the legacy. Most times people are educated of good and bad, but need motivation just from the ending of my title. That gives them something to really ponder upon was my hard work, but in reality they already knew.
