I was born and brought up in an ordinary family. My passion for Medicine resulted in my career starting in medical school. During my medical school, I went to a medical camp in a rural Indian village where a patient presented to me with itching and shortness of breath following intake of particular type of food. Soon his condition worsened and his blood pressure started dropping. He was diagnosed as anaphylaxis and was given Adrenaline and other medications and his condition improved within a short time. It was a humbling experience to realise that I was able to save the life of a person using the medical training I received. This experience taught me that a Doctor should be able to diagnose a condition as well as take the right action at the right time. For this he should have in depth knowledge and strong foundation about diseases and medicine as a whole. This attracted me to the field of Internal …show more content…
My experiences and strong loving family have instilled these qualities in me. I am looking forward to an Internal Medicine residency program that will expose me to the highest standards of clinical experience and provide me with the expertise needed in Internal Medicine. It would be a great learning experience if I get exposed to colleagues and patients from different social, economic and cultural backgrounds. Such an environment can help in the exchange of knowledge and ideas. I am seeking this program because it can fulfil my above mentioned academic interests in a friendly atmosphere. I understand that there is no better place in the world to conduct medical research. I believe that I have the skills, empathy and bedside manners that will help me to become a caring and productive physician. I deem that my passion in medicine, clinical and research experience and willingness to work hard can make an immense contribution to your program and to medical community as a
Personal Statement Last summer I had the opportunity of participating in the U54 Sumer Research Program and it was an incredible experience, because it helped me in my professional development and discerns my future carrier goals. I want to return to MD Anderson Cancer Center, because it counts with a variety of physician scientists and physicians that integrate their clinical work with innovating research and this will improve my development as a future physician and researcher. Being able to do research in my area of interest and having the experience of a clinical rotation in pediatric oncology help me diced that I want to become an MD. My actual professional goal is to be a pediatric physician specialized in oncology, orthopedic surgery
Moving from a small sleepy mountain town in Northern Arizona to the bustling monstrous city of Las Vegas, Nevada fulfilled many of my goals in just a four hour drive. I am eighteen years old, it seems hardly reasonable to have an eighteen year old that has a hard time making the minuscule decision of what to have for dinner- make the decision of what to do for the rest of their life. I know the world is full of opportunities and I plan on taking advantage of as many as possible. Taking this class is an opportunity in itself. During my time in HMD 101 I hope to network with industry executives, deepen my passion for the hospitality and culinary industry, create positive relationships with my peers who are soon to be my colleagues, soak up every ounce of knowledge my professor and teaching assistants
Hope you had a wonderful New Year. I want to thank you once again for giving the opportunity to interview at St. Joseph’s Family Medicine Residency Program on September 29, 2015. I enjoyed my interview at your program and meeting with the faculty and residents. Also, I appreciate you taking your time to give me a follow-up call last week. I was very impressed how close-knit the program was and how smoothly the faculty and residents interacted.
It was under the most delicate of circumstances, when I realized what I was born to do for the rest of my life. It was march 2007, my grandfather was suffering from pneumonia and due to his deteriorating condition he was hospitalized. I had flown in from Toronto to be by his side. Sitting anxiously by his bedside with tears in my eyes wondering if I could do anything to make my grandfather feel better, I watched doctors come and go , updating us on his blood reports, EKGs, chest x-rays, ABGs, and at the same time constantly counseling my concerned family members. As they explained what they were doing to bring my grandfather to the path of recovery, I watched in utter fascination.
The level of care that the varying healthcare professionals provided to these patients was fascinating and became intrigued to a career path in the medical field. Over the next couple of years, I narrowed the possibility
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
I have always wanted to be a surgeon since I was a kid. Doctors were treated like gods in my home country, Ethiopia. I was a shy little boy who dreamt big in my neighborhood and people would make fun of my goal due to the fact that there were no doctors in our neighborhood. They believed that I was not smart and strong enough to be a doctor. Besides my mother and aunt, nobody knew what I was capable of.
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.
Why did you decide to become a physician and how do you plan to use your time as an undergraduate student to reach your goal? *
Through my studies of human expression and its reflection of how people deal with world events in different ways, I developed sensitivity to other worldviews that continues to prove useful through my daily interactions with people of different backgrounds. I have learned that just like art, medicine involves pattern recognition and derives insight from experiences. Similarly, what I especially enjoy about being a medical assistant is interacting with patients on a daily basis and getting to be a part of their medical experiences, even if it is just by lending an ear. The experiences on my path to a career in medicine have made me want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of those around me – a difference that leaves my patients in a better condition than they were in before I met them.
Since graduating, however, I have been fortunate enough to establish a multi-year shadowing opportunity with an ER physician. This experience has easily been one of my most meaningful exposures to the medical field. Unlike other specialists I've observed, whose practices focus on a narrow branch of medicine, shadowing in the ER has allowed me to familiarize myself with pathologies affecting all body systems. Furthermore, having frequent shifts in the ER, I've been able to transition from a passive observer to an active contributor; I now recognize how certain ailments present, and can intelligently discuss possible diagnoses with my mentoring physician. This experience has enabled me to learn about the human body instead of just the specialty itself.
The Pediatrics Internship Program aims to provide exposure to various aspects of medicine including research, clinical, and educational opportunities of which would provide an invaluable opportunity to further my interests in the field of pediatrics. One of the aims of this program is to help students gain exposure and familiarize themselves with pediatric medicine which fits well with my career and personal interests. Pediatrics in particular is a field of great importance to me as my own personal history with my pediatrician has inspired me to pursue a career in a field that will be as impactful on the lives of other children as it has on my own. Furthermore, the experience gained as an intern working on different aspects of a project in teams with others
I am searching for a residency program that will give thorough and far reaching pathologic preparing. I will dedicate my enthusiasm, vitality, and restorative aptitude and examination abilities to serving my patients, to gaining from my associates, and to teaching medicinal understudies and youthful doctors. After
Ever since then, I knew I wanted to provide patients that go through such harsh medical and surgery procedures to not feel pain and most importantly to provide comfort. I know I am still at a young age, only a freshman in high school, where my decision regarding my future career might change one day, but I believe my mind and heart are more than
I want to aspire to greater heights and learn to love my schooling and job despite difficult situations that may arise. I continue to look forward to being a part of the process of improving health care. As I move towards my career goal to be a physician, I want to be able to build a sense of empathy for patients, understanding what they are going through and identifying with them on a personal and professional level. The Dual degree honors program in Miami will accelerate my path towards becoming a doctor, and expose to me to research and clinical opportunities not usually warranted to undergraduate students.
