Personal Statement - Chloe Kan

Previously, I came upon CUHK’s online multimedia human anatomy visualisations and was amazed by the utilisation of technology for education. The digital anatomy library reminded me of one of my childhood hobbies. I used to love playing with human anatomy models, taking apart and reassembling the organs while learning the names one by one - it was such a fun thing to do as a child. During IGCSE, my enthusiasm in biology gradually decreased due to my rising interest in other subjects such as business and chemistry. Recently, my interest in biology resurfaced during the IB biology course. I was fascinated by the influence of biotechnology in both the medical and agricultural field, at the same time intrigued by the use of different techniques in DNA and genetic analysis. In addition, I am curious in the use of numerous …show more content…

Studying biomedical sciences can allow me to fully apply my knowledge of both the IB biology and chemistry courses, with the fundamental objective to improve the outlook for victims of various diseases. Although I understand that it is uncertain whether or not I will find a definite cure to a disease, I hope to contribute to the development of disease treatments in collaboration with others who feel the same way as I do. I will endeavour to transform scientific knowledge into benefits for the health and well-being of people in the society. If I have the opportunity to study biomedical sciences at HKU, I plan to minor in Biotechnology and Clinical Research because I am also interested in the biotechnology and its business aspects. I believe this course can provide an opportunity for me to enter the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry in the future. Due to my study of the IB Business Management HL course and my rising curiosity in clinical research, I am confident that I am suitable for this major and minor

  • Biopsychosocial Model Essay

    4442 Words  | 18 Pages

    Psychological Assessment and Management of Chronic pain Evaluating a chronic pain condition from a biological perspective is limiting, and often fails to fully explain the patient’s symptoms. In contrast to the biomedical model, which explains pain purely in terms of pathophysiology, the biopsychosocial model views pain, suffering and disability, as the result of dynamic interactions among biological, psychological, behavioral, social, cultural and environmental factors. Consequently, assessment requires not only the examination of the biological dimension, but of the psychological and social dimensions as well. A patient’s experience of pain and response to any treatment for pain are affected not only by biologically determined nociceptive (nervous system transmission) processes, but also by psychological factors such as mood (for example, depression, anxiety) and appraisals (thoughts and beliefs about the pain), as well as by psychosocial factors such as the responses of others (for example, family, friends,
