Biomedical Engineering Personal Statement

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.

The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.

Going off to college, I hope to pursue a major in biology and gain more experience in research labs. I want to explore different genes within various organisms and learn about their intersectional functions. I hope to understand how to enhance or reduce a gene’s expression in order to repress diseases within the human body. After college I will go to medical school and obtain my Doctor of Medicine degree and later pursue a PhD. In the future, I hope to open a research clinic that allows scientists from diverse fields to work together and develop cures for different diseases.

As for my career goals, I hope to work in a hospital and use my degree to the best of my ability to help others. My main objective is to commit myself to lifelong learning. The medical field is an ongoing field; the learning never ends just like technology, medicines and new findings never end. Therefore, I have to be fully committed to continue learning even once I have obtained my degree. In addition, I want to

I really enjoy helping other people and/or animals. Knowing how the body works is interesting because you have to be careful in everything that you do and you always have to be focused in your work. After High School I plan on attending Junior College at Delta College in Stockton, California for at least two years. Being present in a Junior College will help be get ready for the next step of becoming better in school and in the medical field by allowing me to have more experience out in the field. After my two years at Delta College I hope to attend a four year U.C. by receiving a scholarship for either my academics in school or for my athletic potential.

My larger vision is becoming a biomedical engineer. What interests me most about the field is the intricate combination of two seemingly opposite characteristics. Engineers are sometimes seen as people who are on an elevated level of intelligence, but a below average sense of interpersonality. As a Biomedical Engineer, you are required to interact closely with patient. It’s impossible to complete a job without getting to know a patient. You have to identify their ailment or whatever else may be troubling them, and incorporate different levels of math, science, and technology to resolve the issue at

My dream is to become a medical doctor specializing in Emergency Medicine or surgery. My education before coming to Mary Baldwin University consisted of homeschooling since kindergarten, attending the Fine Arts Center for gifted artists, and being actively involved in my local health careers club. Truly, I believe that the liberal arts education that I received during my childhood really prepared me academically for the transition to Mary Baldwin University.

After completing the bachelor program, my plan is to continue on to a Master Degree Level with an emphasis in Health Information/Informatics so that I may pursue a role in Data Analysis/Integrity or as a Clinical Documentation Specialist. My passion leads me to find the root cause of every issue and find ways to incorporate teamwork into implementing solutions. I believe empowering those around me, promotes a collaborative work environment as well as teaching and fostering team members to grow.

In transferring, I hope to further the creative mindset I have gained from being a musician, as well as the analytical skills I have learned in the STEM program to create unique innovations that solve the challenges facing the biomedical engineering field.

My academic interest is geared towards pursuing a master degree in the field of biomedical informatics with a view to becoming a problem solver and a major contributor to new discoveries in the field. I would like to pursue a career in research, development and teaching of methodologies, processes and tools that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information flow as well as usage in the healthcare setting. I would like the output of my work and research to have significant influence towards improving patient care outcomes whilst reducing information costs in the entire healthcare system.

My fascination for science, especially learning the composition of the body, how it functions and repairs itself. Along with, the fact that through the knowledge I gain, I can improve the wellbeing of people of all ages and health backgrounds, motivates me to achieve a physiotherapy career.

I hope to enhance my overall healthcare knowledge, giving me more insight into the industry as a whole. Combining that with my current knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and the disease process, I believe this will make me a better administrator, teacher and healthcare

My life time goals are oriented towards self-improvement, making a positive impact in people’s lives. This field is always evolving and I am excited to grow in my knowledge as well. I want to obtain my Master’s degree after getting a feel of the field. I want to teach and possibly work in research. Another main goal is to obtain a lab manager position over time. Overall, these goals would help me expand my knowledge and help my self-improvement. I have always wanted to acquire a profession where I would have a positive

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.

Biomedical engineering is a field where you will be finding solutions for the problems inside your body using engineering principles. Then, once you pursue a degree in biomedical engineering then you can specialize in various interesting subfields; to name a few, bio-engineering, tissue engineering and cellular engineering where an individual who has successfully acquired sufficient knowledge in the field would deal with both human body and medical devices that ranges from clinical equipment to micro implant. I believe this field is one that would both accommodate the interests of an engineering student, as well as a medical student. Finally, my intention in choosing this field goes beyond my salary package. I would strive to contribute with improved advanced medical technology that would help work out solutions for the problems encountered by people, that in turn will eradicate the ailments of the millions of people suffering out there, together with the fact that bio engineeing is an ongoing one where every moment new advancements are taking
