An Internship At Tufts Medical College

Studying to be a physician requires lots of effort and time. To an immigrant like me, I tried to manage my studies, volunteer work, and adjusting to a new culture at the same time. I like to stick with my plans, and it has always been my plan to enter medical school on 2018. However, my road to entering medical school didn’t come as easy to me. After transferring to University, two of my close family passed away.

At present, I can only imagine how I would enjoy contributing to Rice campus while pursuing my degree in a field related to medicine, my first passion. My parents are immigrants from South India who brought along with them a world class educational background and a deep passion for science. Freedom to explore and an active embracement of different cultures within my family have shaped my childhood. I’m able to quickly adapt to the various cultures of my peers while celebrating the richness of my South Indian

The goal of the internship was to complete a 150 hours and provide a weekly summary of activities. In order to get the internship I had to do a phone screening with Mary Doe. She is the administrative assistant to Commander John Doe. Who is the Assistant Associate Director of Facility Support and also the internship supervisor for the SIU Health Care Management students at FHCC. I meet with CDR John Doe for a brief interview. We went over my goals and what I hope to gain by interning at FHCC. I felt interning at FHCC would be a natural transition because CDR Wallis has a background in Healthcare Administration.

I was born in a farming family in a small town in southern India. My father worked in the agricultural field for thirty years.  He realized while he was working that his children should receive the best education as he had faced many problems due to his illiteracy. This motivated my father to give me the best education without which I couldn’t have come this far. When I finished  tenth grade, I had to choose either Mathematics or Biology and I opted for Biology as I had an affinity for science since my childhood. I always stood in the top ten of my class. I pursued my medical education at the distinguished institution, Guntur Medical College. I commenced medical school with the aim of becoming an internist.

This is the story of an Indian immigrant, who wants to accomplish his American dream someday. I was raised in India which is economically not as well off as the United States of America. I completed most of my high school in India and immigrated to the United States at the age of 18. I graduated high school from Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, Maryland. Due to financial difficulties, I did not apply to any university and joined Howard Community College, which was truly a remarkable experience for me, showing me what it means to have an American college experience. I was not inclined towards engineering or medicine unlike my friends in India who had chosen to pursue those careers. I chose to explore the various options available in the United States. It was at Howard Community College that I was

I decided to do my practicum at the ASANTE Ashland Community Hospital. My site supervisor is Dawn Dille, who is the volunteering coordinator there. I chose ASANTE Ashland Community Hospital as part of my practicum experience because I am interested in becoming a nurse one day. I like what ASANTE stands for and how community orientated they are. I also had previous volunteering experience there. The location is easy for me to commute back and forth between school and work.

I was born in a refugee camp in Kenya to escape war-torn Somalia. I was then raised in Atlanta, and will complete school in Madison. I’m the 7th daughter in my father 's line, the 8th in my mother 's line, and the 1st in my family to attend a University. My involvement in the Legal Studies and Criminal Justice fields allow me to understand the social and legal factors placed on our health care system. My African American background, my role as a 1st generation college student, my Somali culture, and my identity as a Muslim, have all contributed to the person I am today, and to the doctor I will become. Because I’m a linguaphile I casted away my comfort zone and immersed myself in a new culture, language, and land for three weeks and explored my foreign language studies in Deutschland. I’m an avid gym goer since high school, when I set a record in my weight training class. I consider myself an extreme foodie, and I’ve traveled to far places solely to try out new cuisines. My interests in social justice marked my college years with protests and causes I partook in, due to my passions in furthering equality and justice. I have considered a law career, but ruled it out because I desired a career in medicine too fiercely to ever walk away from it. I also understand that I face challenges in obtaining an acceptance, but I am hoping that the mistakes of my past do not cost me my future.

My Internship was at Franciscan St. Margaret Health, 5454 Hohman Avenue, Hammond, Indiana 46320-1999. The program and agency I was involved in was Indiana Volunteer Advocates for Seniors and Incapacitated Adults Program, also called VASIA which was founded by Franciscan St. Margaret Health Hospital of Hammond. They are in partnership with the Lake Superior Court as a best practices volunteer limited guardian model for collaborative problem-solving between the hospital healthcare providers and the courts and this is the purpose of the agency.

This was my first week in which I started my internship in Stony Brook Medicine Information Technology (SBMIT) at Flowerfield. I worked alongside with site supervisor Eileen Gilmartin. I learned about how “tickets” are received via “helpdesk application” from clinical side to Health IT. Ticket, has to do any issue regarding IT, question about application, and/or physician order.

For most medical students, the transition from medical school to residency and actually deciding on a specialty is quite intimidating. There are many unknowns, a few botched plans, and for someone like me who grew up in a family of immigrants, a lot of high expectations. The journey that led to my decision to pursue a career in Internal medicine was by no means conventional, but rather the culmination of a lifetime of personal experiences and even some life-changing events. This decision has since been cemented by my experiences during my basic sciences and internal medicine rotation. Combined, these experiences have instilled an excitement in me to serve my community as an Internist.

I did apply for the Mercy College Internship Grant last week. Again, thank you for writing me the letter of recommendation for internship grant, I appreciated it. In the meantime, I just wanted you to know that everything is going well for me, working for Mr. Beane. I am very grateful to have this job experience at this moment of my undergraduate studies. This experience has made me a better professional and an employable person.

Ever since I could have a clear understanding of the roles doctors play in our society, and to remembering my first doctor's visit I instantly wanted to become one of those woman in a long white coat running around helping patients or performing a procedure. My passion for helping others is something that has empowered me to become a doctor. Because of my passion for helping individuals , my dream of one day becoming a surgeon ,I have decided to further my academic career at Virginia Commonwealth University ( Vcu ) . I plan on attending one of the finest medical schools in Virginia while also maintaining a job and balancing life as a college student and a mother.

The ideology of following your every whim may seem romantic to some youth in their philosophy of this inherited world, but it is impractical. Truth be told, 13 years of medical training and $419,738 of student debt (according to CBS News) does not ensure you a position as a doctor. Perhaps, instead of pursuing your dream job as a surgeon at the nation’s number one facility, you consider assisting Doctors Without Borders, a noteworthy cause. Driven by the longing to solve existing problems will help you to realize where your true passion lies. Many

Looking back at my career of over 15 years as a physician in India,I can safely characterize myself as a caring and empathetic medical practitioner. After immigrating to Canada 4 years ago, as advised by my immigration settlement counsellor, I studied to become a licensed

This is the last semester of my radiologic sciences bachelor program. Throughout the many months, there have been countless situations which prompted me to form and execute decisions which have led to a patient’s well being. Although this is a subjective statement, I genuinely believe that I was able to impact many of my patients in a positive fashion. From experience it seemed that patients understood my intention and allowed themselves to trust me. The clinical experience this program has entailed is outstanding in respect to the other programs. I was given the opportunity to intern at multiple sites ranging from Santa Clarita to East LA to Santa Monica. With that being said, the demographics in these areas are so different and allowed me to adjust to various ethnic and social groups. The following examples are situations, which occurred throughout my final fall semester.
