A Career In Medicine Personal Statement

Picture opening up a box with over 1000 pieces belonging to a jigsaw puzzle, emptying the contents out on to a tabletop, and then being tasked with putting those pieces together to ultimately create a beautiful picture of the human anatomy. One can imagine the eye for detail, patience and thoroughness that would be required to complete such a task. As with any puzzle it is critical that the wider picture is envisioned at all times, as focusing on only one piece would effectively hinder any progress towards completion.

Physicians must treat their patients compassionately, listen to their concerns, and act with a good bedside manner.

Physician Assistant A physician assistant work in all areas of medicine. They also help with surgeries. I was stuck between this career and being a paramedic.

Hi I am Jubin and I have known Sai since I was a young boy. I am originally from India, but migrated to Australia with my parents when I was two years old. I moved frequently during my childhood and spent most of my time growing up in rural Australia. Despite my nomadic life, I always maintained a connection to the Sai Organisation. Later settling down with my family in Perth in Western Australia for my secondary and tertiary education.

I would like to become a physician because it is a career that is constantly evolving. As a physician, I would be expected to constantly learn new techniques and information to better care for future patients. I would also enjoy interacting with patients and affecting their lives

I am interested in joining the Medical Professions Academy, because I believe it would be a great experience. This program will give me the inside look of what being a doctor is like that high school would not provide for me. I have been interested in going into a medical profession for a few years and I think MPA will help me decide where I want to go with it. While I may go a different route I think MPA will give me something I can't find at my high school. I was really interested in the hands on learning portion and believe it will help me with my future occupation. I am excited for the opportunity to joint MPA next year.

When I think of medicine I think of diversity. The medical field contains a multiplicity of individuals, culture, and exchange; exposure to the Guatemalan culture offers a plethora of experience that allows me to build on personal growth, educational enhancements, and the opportunity to make a difference. The availability of this program through the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine is a blessing as well as a prayer answered for the prospect to experience the world beyond the borders of the United Stares.

1. Briefly describe the one clinical experience you have had that has most significantly influenced your decision to study medicine. Do not replicate your AMCAS personal statement.

I have chosen pre-medicine because I have always wanted to work in a hospital helping people. I was first exposed to the possibility of working in a hospital because of my mother, who is a nurse. Whenever she would take me to work with her, I could picture myself working there, helping others.

I am especially interested in medicine as the analytical challenge of determining a diagnosis coupled with lifelong scientific learning appeals to me. Two weeks of work experience with an MDT co-ordinator completing an audit highlighted the importance of teamwork to me as a patient's treatment plan is decided by a multidisciplinary team. A week of shadowing in a hospital further showed me the importance of teamwork in medicine as the surgical team used verbal and non-verbal communication to increase the efficiency of the surgery and ensure the patient's well-being was maintained. I was particularly touched by the compassion a doctor showed towards a terminally ill patient in respecting his wishes to spend his last few weeks at home,

Health is the comprehensive well-being of an individual and maintaining it can be difficult for many without treatment by doctors. The thought of having a healthcare profession has been lifelong and as I grew older, the feeling of it being the right career path became increasingly reinforced. The science aspects, the ability to think creatively and the necessity of teamwork made me feel that it was a profession that I would enjoy rather than regret for the rest of my life. My decision to study medicine was propelled by a work experience placement at Lewisham Hospital.

Any wise person would tell you to pick a career that you feel passionate about because success comes to you much easier when you enjoy what you do for work. So, there is no hesitation in my mind when I say that I would love to get an education in Healthcare Management. There is no other job better suited for me than Healthcare Management that would allow me to combine my passion of management and help people get access to quality healthcare. Management is the key to the progress of any business. Businesses live or die based on how well the employees and the resources are managed. The system is changing drastically with the Affordable Care Act and based on my experiences, it needs a lot of improvement. The continuously growing population is

As a typical first born child, I have parents who expected me to be a doctor one day. When we talked about colleges, they were always medical schools. When I asked my father what jobs to look into, he suggested pharmacist or surgeon. I never expected to become an engineer until my first week of junior year when I took my first calculus and physics classes. My teachers heralded engineering as the top profession of the day, and all my friends were planning on making them proud with their future careers as civil or mechanical engineers. When I told them my plans of becoming a physical therapist, they scoffed at me. Both my physics and calculus teachers told me, “You are wasting your potential if that is your goal in life!” Although I knew they were exaggerating, their passion on the subject is what originally drove me to look into engineering. However, I was still passionate about helping people with health issues. I wanted to save lives in my career, and I was not sure if engineering would be a direct enough impact for me to find happiness in it. That was when I decided to search “medical engineering” on YouTube, and I was not disappointed. I found a video about Michelle Khine, who became my engineering hero.

Every night, as I sat on the table with my younger brothers assisting them with their homework, I hear a familiar sound at the door. As she walks her heels click, and I can hear her searching her bag for her keys, the next thing I know the keys are in the lock and as it turns me and my younger brothers’ jump. We run to the door and indeed we scream in unison “Mommy’s home”, one by one she gives us a hug and a kiss. My mother asks us how our day was, and if we finished our homework, she then looks to me and said “did you cook and assist your younger ones with their homework”; I replied “yes mom”. As I warm the food, I take my mother’s purse, jacket, and shoes put them away and prepare the table for her to eat dinner. As I glance at the

The human body, both mentally and physically, is an extraordinary conglomerate of processes. The level of complexity and uniqueness, which allows the human body to function efficiently, never ceases to amaze me. It is this physiological complexity, coupled with the human body’s delicate balance of mechanisms, which has fuelled my decision to study biomedicine at university. From an early age, solving puzzles and problems has fascinated me and this interest has been continually consolidated when reading how the latest level of understanding regarding the human physiology has been achieved. Therefore, the fact that my chosen course incorporates research and hypothesis testing only reinforces my ambitions to study biomedicine further.
