Becoming A Career As A Physician

After observing my mother in at the emergency room where she works, I finally understand the difficulty of being a doctor. Doctors constantly having to take care of anyone who walks through the door on a stretcher. Doctors have to try their best to feel empathetic towards everyone, putting themselves in other people’s shoes and trying to understand their situation. Whether they are good or bad, it doesn’t matter, the main goal is to stabilize the patients and make sure they receive the help they need. For example, last night walked in a psychopath who had killed 3 people, who also stabbed himself in attempt at suicide. By some miraculous move by God he didn’t die, only required immediate medical attention. As I watched my mother operate

The medical world is an intellectual, competitive, and rewarding field. It requires discipline and dedication. The challenge of using logical and clinical reasoning in an environment that demands genuine personal dedication attracts me immensely. My enthusiastic mind for knowledge and compassionate nature has made me pursue this rewarding career.

Without a doubt, medical students will encounter patients that are less than pleasant to deal with and situations that are not ideal. As a medical scribe I have encountered a few myself. On one instance, I was part of a care team for a psychiatric patient who harbored negative views towards Hispanics and wished to "kill them all". Despite his views and constant belittling remarks, I assisted in his care as best as I could and remained courteous, professional, and objective during his stay in the ER. This was not the first time I faced such situations, and it will undoubtedly not be the last. I am aware, however, that is is important for medical students and physicians alike to place their personal views to the side in order to treat patients and offer them the best health outcomes possible.

I believe that in order to lead you must be able to learn how to follow first. Following will allow you to gain knowledge that will help you lead in the future. Serving is a big part of leadership because you must be able to help people. People put their trust into you to help them through their problems. As a leader you must be able to put other people’s problems ahead of yours.

I feel as though, it fits my personality fairly well, and after completing the career selector, I was more confident that this job would be a good career for me. I know that I have the attributes and abilities required for the job, it offers high potential earnings, and I also know that I enjoy the general duties a family physician performs. I read the at a glance section, and read over the attributes and abilities required for the job, and felt that I do posses the majority of the attributes and abilities mentioned. Some of the characteristics that I feel I hold,

An occupational physician is a medical doctor who treats illnesses and injuries of employees during working hours.

The diverse types of jobs and career opportunities can be in a physician’s practice or hospital. Jobs in physician practice include those in solo private practice, small group practice, large group practice or a multispecialty clinic. These practices have many jobs: a front desk representative with a medical office assistant certification, and insurance verification representative, a medical collector with a reimbursement specialist certification, a medical office assistant with a medical office assistant certification, a privacy compliance officer, as well as medical billers and coders, or payment posters. Hospital jobs include those listed, and other jobs such as a Refund Specialist and a Registered Health Information Technician. The medical

Throughout my entire life, I have always been a diligent worker. In kindergarten, I was put in the Special Learning Group, a program that assisted children with learning disabilities. With the help of parents and teachers I began studying and learning the material. By sixth grade, I was reading above grade level and was one of the top test scorers in math. I was the first person ever to be dismissed from the learning group. To succeed, I needed to study the information in a unique way. I believe that this early struggle is why I have become so studious. I know that with my dedication to learning is what will set me ahead.

The human pain and vulnerability that lie behind the cases in the ER were not real to me until they were right in front of me. They were not real until I saw a doctor trying her best to explain the necessary medical procedures as the patient in front of her screamed, cursed, and seemingly wrestled with the invisible. They were not real until a woman cried in front of me while she explained the unfortunate betrayal that brought her to the ER. They were not real until I saw a doctor bow his head on his desk only to immediately muster the energy to move on to the next case. Although medicine had always been a career path I intended to follow, my time in the ER made my desire to become a physician concrete. Through my experience I realized the strong intersection of social and medical issues in a doctor’s everyday work. The realization of the social impact that a doctor can have is what has truly motivated me to stay on this path.

Medicine is a study of human life, how our body functions, how we get sick, why we get sick, and how to cure and treat diseases. The practice of medicine started a long time ago among Egyptians who were far ahead of their time and it went on to the Greeks. The systematic training of physicians in universities started around the year 1220 in Italy, and it went on developing until today.

If you were to ask those around me about my desire to be a physician, they would be able to tell you that I work extremely hard trying to find ways to strengthen my background in medicine. My previous healthcare experience includes shadowing, employment, and volunteer opportunities. For the last year, I have been working as a medical assistant, where I get to room patients, perform point of care tasks, and also shadow providers. While shadowing, I get to see tasks such as starting an IV, blood draw, physical examination, and suturing. My time shadowing has mostly been through my job but I also shadow a clinical Neurologist who has shown me many unique cases.

I am a wife and a mother of 2. Since I was a little girl, I´ve always served my elders taking care of them and giving them medicine whenever they needed to. Taking care of others has always been part of me. I believe this is why I picked a field in the medical area to study. Right after high school, I went to college to pursue medicine but for financial reasons, I had to drop out. Since I couldn´t archive my dream to become a doctor, I studied to be an Esthetician. Two years ago I had a second opportunity to come back to school and with the support of my family, I´m perusing Nursing. I picked this major because I am a volunteer in the cancer institute and it made me realize how I was able to help people. In the future I would like to work

As a young girl, I never imagined the payoff of my rigorous ballet training and never envisioned that it would prepare me for a future as a physician. Although I do not know how well my personal wound care and ribbon sewing experience will be adapted to patient care, I do know that all other lessons ingrained in me through ballet will absolutely translate from the studio to the examination room. I aspire to be the selfless physician who holds patients and their families as priority and truly empathizes with them at their most vulnerable times. The physician who approaches encounters with creativity to consider all possible solutions, accepts input with open arms, and refuses to be discouraged when desired results are not achieved. I wish to

Although I am medically trained my chosen career path is within hospital management and administration. Healthcare is a rapidly changing environment and health systems management requires a lot of attention to detail, data and quality. The tools and skills used to run the business end of hospitals and health networks are not taught in medical school. Hence, expanding my present knowledge business strategies and perspectives would be beneficial to not just enhance my career, but to contribute to the health system where I work that provide health care services to millions of

I would be lying if I said I always wanted to be an optometrist. Growing up in an Indian household in Canada, I was basically shown my career opportunity: a pharmacist. Why a pharmacist you ask? That is because every girl in my extended family has grown up to become a pharmacist after college. As a 10-yearl-old girl I looked up to my older female cousins and decided then and there that I wanted to do pharmacy. But that changed quickly after I moved away from my family in Canada to the United States at 12 years old. So, how did I change my mind about my future career? Well, I grew up.
