UW Medical Center offers me the opportunity to grow as a mature adult to provide support to my community. Volunteering has come to my heart in bringing out my selflessness and helping me realize that I am part of something bigger than myself. UW Medical Center, in particular, gives me the ability to work in my desired field of medicine, especially laboratory research. Growing up in a community where medicine plays a large part of my family’s lives, I want the chance to dive deeper into the roots of medicine and hopefully research. I am very attached to the concept of serving others, and I find every opportunity to do so in a mature, motivated, and respectful manner. I hope to gain from this experience, the self-reward of being a small part
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,
I write this letter on behalf of Levi Johnson in support of his desire to pursue the profession of a Physician Assistant. I have spent one on one time with this United States Army Veteran serving war time and peacetime unselfishly. I too am a U.S. Navy Veteran starting my career in the year of 1986 as a Hospital Corpsman for twelve years. In 1995 I achieved my degree as a Physician Assistant followed by a Direct Commission to the rank of Officer serving ten more years.

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
From the very onset of my undergraduate career, I knew two things: I wanted to be a physician and I wanted to return home to work in my community. Growing up in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, I was brought up in a rural, medically under-served area. Lack of facilities, short handed manpower, and patient ignorance of medical information all contribute to a rather rocky health care system within the community. Once I arrived to Xavier, I quickly joined a research lab, and have gained over 1000 hours of lab work. Additionally, through my research experiences, I gained immense amounts of both scientific and medical knowledge.
Dr. Sharon My responsibilities as a Medical Assistant include, but are not limited to, answering phone calls, organizing medical documents and equipment, logging patient history and insurance information, assisting the Doctor in daily activities, displaying Patient X- Rays/MRI results to on duty MD, and maintaining medical supplies. Working for Dr. Sharon has enabled me to further develop my passion to pursue a degree in medicine. Dr. Sharon has set a great example on what it really means to be an exceptional doctor. The way he cares and treats his patients is admirable.
The reason I started volunteering was to experience what actually happens in the day to day lives of doctors. I wanted a better understanding of what being a doctor truly means. Being able to see all the action from the sidelines, but know you are helping that whole facility out
While going into the program I knew healthcare was for me, but I was unsure of what field to purse. Amongst the variety of departments I worked in, the one that stood out the most was my time in the obstetrics and pediatric floor. After graduating from the Academy, my path was clear and I had a mind set on where I see myself in ten years. Becoming a pediatrician will allow me to reach my life long goals of helping others. As a pediatrician caring for young children, I will be able to impact the lives of not only the patients but their families as well.
Certified nursing assistants are in charge of a myriad of tasks related to patient care, saving, and bettering the lives of others. However, the conditions and demands of this job raise questions such as, what are the challenges of being a CNA? What are the various difficulties faced by CNAs, and what’s the most challenging part of being a CNA? The average CNA salary in the United States is around $30,000 per year. While it may seem like quite a lot to some, it’s important to take into account just how much certified nursing assistants face and sacrifice just for the care of others.
Each job has provided me with a new perspective in on the field of healthcare. Overall, I have witnessed over 24 surgeries and have seen what it is like behind the scenes to work in a hospital. In addition, my interest motivated me to seek a unique opportunity outside of the Tri-Health program. Anatomy and AP Biology students at my high school were invited to apply to participate in a leg cadaver lab at a local orthopedic surgery center.
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
Throughout high school I have participated in many different activities and programs, but one of the opportunities I was given I will carry with me forever. As a junior at River Valley I participated in the Marion General Teen Volunteer Program. After interviewing and being placed in the physical therapy unit I took the opportunity to branch out into other areas of the hospital. I soon made my way to the labor and delivery floor where everyday a miracle happened. My duties while volunteering included assisting the nurses during hearing checks, changing diapers, and rocking crying infants in special care.
As I volunteered at medical centers and learned about the professions of doctors, I will continue to pursue these interests by partaking in clubs such as the American Medical Student Association to learn more about the medical field as a career and the BioMedical Science Club to understand more about biological sciences and medicine. Furthermore, as I am currently taking a class on biomedical ethics, I desire to participate in the Bioethics Forum to discuss ethical issues facing in the medical world. Additionally, As I have partaken in Red Cross in which has allowed me to bring awareness to different diseases, I will be able to continue this activity in Heart to Heart to raise alertness to the risks of high blood pressure and Emergency Health Education to instruct emergency procedures regarding to health since I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. In the Tandon School of Engineering, I will major in the Science and Technology Studies program and understand more about the relations between science and
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? *
Besides working diligently in the classroom at Boston College, I have volunteered at Brigham and Women’s Hospital since my freshmen year. I gained experience interacting with patients in a clinical setting that will be useful as a patient advocate as a member of the Project Healthcare team. For example, as a patient access volunteer, I spent early mornings escorting nervous surgical outpatient into the pre-op holding room. I generated friendly conversation about the city’s beloved Boston Red Sox to diffuse their obvious nervousness about their upcoming procedure. One of my jobs involves undergraduate research studying Toxoplasma Gondii under Professor MJ Gubbels which has given me experience in collecting and analyzing data for presentation
