Becoming A Pathologist

This price is only for a four-year medical school, and sometimes, medical school can last seven or eight years. Technically, medical school can cost over 400,000 dollars, and that would be one enormous student loan. After medical school, residency begins and this is where the learning comes to life. Residency can last three to seven years depending on when you take your test and when you pass(Summary n.p.). Lastly, anyone entering a medical field career needs to get licensed within the requirements of the state. After you finish schooling there is potential to earn 200,000 a year, but that is only median pay and the income you make at first will be less than that (Summary n.p.). If you paid for you school with mostly cash you can start to build wealth. However, if you relied on student loans to assist you through this, you could be paying these back for years to come. The total of your schooling would almost exceed 500,000, solely depending on the colleges you chose. Anesthesiologist have a great job outlook, and this is increasing faster than others. The job outlook is expected to grow 14 percent by 2024 (Summary n.p.). Over 700,000 jobs were available in 2014, and that’s only expected to rise in the next ten years (Summary

My goal is to serve communities in need by becoming a primary care physician. Key facets are helping others however possible, sharing knowledge to empower others, researching new methods or treatments. Each of these appeals to me individually, but compassion is what ties them together and drives me to overcome the challenges of this road. There is no vocation that is more important and meaningful than becoming a physician, and none that could bring more joy.

Did you know that 564,800 Americans will die this year due to cancer? Without pathologists, most cancers could go untreated or unfound. I believe that being passionate about pursuing pathology will help with a better outlook on education.

The ideal practice for me is one where I may directly apply my experiences during my recent years of formal and informal education. The major components that will be integrated into my medical career are conducting pragmatic research, aiding underserved communities, and maintaining sustained patient interactions.

Pathology is the study of causes and effects for diseases, which could involve examining tissue samples or interpreting lab tests.

My entire life I have wanted to do something different. When I was seven years old I wanted to be famous and become a singer/actress. My cousin and I would hold “shows” for our neighbors and sing to them. When I was nine years old I wanted to work with children and be a pediatric neurologist, only because my best friend wanted to do that. And then when I was twelve years old I wanted to be a radiologist because that’s what my mom was. And then at fifteen years old I learned how messed up the criminal justice system was, because of a family friend who had to fight to get custody of her own daughter and never did because her ex had too much money, and knew I wanted to do something to make an attempt at make a difference in it. From the time I was fifteen, to about seventeen, I juggled between wanting to study to become a lawyer and working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then finally I decided on wanted to work for the FBI and try to make it better by locking up on criminal at a time.

Aspirations are the broader of both in impact and timeframe. For an aspiration the focus is usually geared more to the long term with a dash of motivation. A goal on the other hand, is something you plan to do or accomplish in a particular timeframe.

The average salary of a family in America is estimated to be around $51,000. The median salary, or the middle amount, in America is over $187,200. The average amount of money you make per hour as a pathologist is over $90. Overall, the pay for this job is outstanding, and I’m pretty sure it is very prestigious, this might be a great

Only once have I visited the emergency room. Falling in and out of consciousness, I watched the doctor make his rounds and came to a personal revelation: there is no other field I would rather pursue than in medicine. By participating in HLI’s Student Week, I would gain the skills and knowledge required to pursue research and innovation of treatments. While reading snippets of scientific journals is informative, hands on knowledge in a lab is of immeasurable value when I am determined to pursue a career in pathology. Firsthand experience with professionals in a medical laboratory will provide skills I will use in the future in a university research position during my post-secondary to better medical treatments. Having grown up in a developing

My career goals are broad and few; however, the success of these goals will bring great joy into the lives of people I know now and will come to meet later. My first career goal is simply to become a servant of the people because of my experiences at John Carroll. I learned at John Carroll that one should simply live like Christ, which I understand to mean as a servant for the marginalized and as a healer of all ailments, which is why I chose to go into the medical field, but just entering into the medical field will not be enough to fulfill my this career goal. Thus, I have decided to create a public health clinic in impoverished areas in order to reach those who are avoided and ignored by society. I also plan to help immigrants who are in

You probably know how the medical field has changed throughout time but do you actually know who helped create that change? I was the first open women to receive a medical degree in the United States. Before I received my medical degree only men were physicians. Men believed women couldn’t handle seeing the body, and working to fix it. When I graduated medical school, I changed that. I may have grown up in a poor, humble family and worked as a low-level teacher, but my determination to receive my medical degree inspired many women to reach out of their comfort zone, and changed the medical field forever: I am Elizabeth Blackwell.

My infatuation with the science of medicine began at a young age. My curiosity began innocently with ER television shows and spending time at the hospital where my mother works. However, when my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and ulcerative colitis, radiology, specifically, caught my eye. These two factors, along with my experience in AP science classes and hospital volunteer work, have largely influenced my decision to become a radiologist, and my interest and motivation have only grown stronger.

Cardiology studies and treats diseases and abnormalities of the heart and blood vessels. There are two parts to the cardiologist job. The first being a cardiologist specializes in the diagnosing, preventing and treating the diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The second is an interventional cardiologist which can perform a number of invasive tests and procedures to assist in the diagnosing and treatments of the disease. There are also Cardio-vascular surgeons who specialize in the surgeries of the heart and vascular system. To be able to treat patients cardiologists can perform a number of tests such as echocardiograms (soundwave picture to look at the structure and function of the heart), Ambulatory ECG (recording during activity to look for abnormal heart rhythms), Exercise test (study to measure your heart’s performance and limitations), and Cardiac catheterization (test in which a small tube is placed in or near the heart to take pictures, look at how the heart is working, check the electrical systems, and help relieve

Becoming a physician takes long years of training and education, and even more so when desiring to become a surgeon. This training and education is a requirement to become proficient in diagnosing ailments, prescribing medications, and determining the appropriate treatment to treat sickness and disease, and perform surgeries when the opportunity presents itself. Physicians are certified by the American Medical Association (AMA), and require a state license to practice within the state they live. This license does not guarantee that the physician or the surgeon is mentally capable to perform any surgeries or practice medicine for that matter. (Roy Benaroch, 2011). It just shows that the applicant did indeed satisfy the requirements of the medical board in passing all tests to obtain the license. Obtaining a license to practice medicine does not altogether prove that the candidate is competent enough to perform such tasks. Subsequently, there are steps that must be utilized to test the competency, qualifications, and references of the physician to establish that the physician holds a current license and is not listed as a candidate of a malpractice lawsuit. Therefore, there must be a credentialing process in place that should be followed in order to prevent needless deaths, and costly lawsuits.

Beginning from a young age, I have always considered medicine as a career because I have always enjoyed sciences, and I’ve always wanted to be able to make an impact in people’s lives. However, it was not until 10th grade, when I undertook work experience at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital that it was consolidated. The doctor that I followed had a patient who had previously seen her before about issues with the nerves in his leg. He came to her and told her that he had seen many other doctors before, and not one could figure out what was wrong with him, and eventually concluded that there was nothing they could do. You could see how frustrated and upset he was, because he knew that it wasn’t normal, and he wanted help. The doctor was so understanding, and she ran an EMR on him, and although she couldn’t figure out what was wrong, she told him that no matter what, she would try to figure out how to help him. He and his brother were so thankful, and you could see how delighted they were to find someone who was just willing to try to help, and seeing how happy they were brought me an immense feeling of joy that was indescribable. Just knowing that you can give someone hope, that was best feeling ever, because I know myself, how much hope can do for patients and their families. My great aunt was actually diagnosed with Cancer a few years ago, and in September last year, she was notified that her Cancer came back. It was so heart breaking to have something we thought we wouldn’t
