Cardiologist Personal Statement

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.

The heart is what keeps the human body running. From the very first time someone presses their head up against their mothers chest or feels their own heart beat, they know that the pulse they feel means something important. It’s the rhythm that lets us keep on living. It’s strange to think that before I read this book, I barely knew anything about this absolutely vital organ in my body. Now, I probably know more history about the human heart than I ever thought I’d know. This book went totally in depth about the history of the human heart, and how modern medicine knows what it knows about this vital organ. It weaves history and information about the heart together in a way that keeps you interested until the last page, which is something I

Did you know the your heart is the size of both of your hands clapped together. The heart is a organ that keeps you alive. It is in your chest protected by the rib cage. The purpose of this paper is to summarize information about the heart, explains how it works, and discuss its purpose.

I envision the next ten years to be a time of intense personal growth. I will be building upon my strengths and improving my weaknesses. I hope to be fulfilling my goals and crossing things off of my bucket list. I hope to have the financial security to be able to help my mother retire, and help my younger brother to finish graduate school. I hope to be involved within my community, whether through volunteer work or a community-based organization. As for my career, I see myself working as a primary care physician. I am drawn to the long-term comprehensive care aspect of Internal Medicine and the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population in a variety of settings. This role aligns with my personal values in regards to health maintenance.

I come from a small rural town nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. My hometown is split down the middle by a set of railroad tracks. On the north side, one can find pristine neighborhoods, newer schools, most doctors’ offices, and the only hospital in town. The south side of the town stands as a stark contrast. On the south side, you no longer find the wealthy neighborhoods but rather dilapidated and condemned homes and housing projects. One seems to find abandoned buildings on every corner, many inhabited by those that have lost their homes. Limited help is coming for those who need it, mostly through churches and volunteer programs targeting the underserved. Many doctors, dentists, and nurses are giving their time and resources to help

I was born on February 14, 1993 in the city of La Vega, Dominican Republic. I came to New York at the age of 10. The fact that my first language is Spanish placed me at a disadvantage from the minute I stepped a foot in the United States since even at the airport I was not able to communicate with the agent. My biggest struggle was school since the class was taught in English only and most of my classmates only spoke English. Despite my efforts to give it my all to learn the language and adapt to the customs of this unfamiliar place, it seemed to be a challenge I would never overcome. Since my parents and close family members mostly spoke Spanish as well, they could not help me, they only encouraged me to study and read a lot so that I would learn the language faster. I wanted to fit in with kids of my age and to understand when

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

My story begins on August 31, 1999 when I was born in Beth Israel Hospital, from there I was raised in Andover, Massachusetts my whole life. I am half Japanese as my mother immigrated from Japan to the United States when she met my father during college. My father being a Caucasian male created an interracial family that I was raised. I went to a technical school where it was predominately a Hispanic culture where much of the students were bilingual. Coming from a family that is solely not one race and going to a school where many students shared a different culture allowed for me to get a unique view of society.

I further supported my studies in biology and my interest of assisting the needy by volunteering at my hometown’s emergency room. While I did find that working at the emergency room constantly catered to my passion for knowledge about medicine, it was my trustworthy and compassionate nature that allowed me a heightened ability to interact with patients in a reliable and effective manner. I continued my desire by shadowing physicians in the many different departments of the hospital. However, since the marvels of the heart always left me in wonder, I found myself drawn into the life of a cardiologist. While shadowing him in his private practice, I had the chance to appreciate the responsibilities, commitment, and satisfaction of a career in

As a student, I want to promote a worldly view to my peers and, by being open-minded, I hope to create an environment where my peers and I can view everyone as a culmination of unique and diverse experiences. I truly believe that, especially within the realm of education, people’s distinct stories and backgrounds can contribute to everyone, whether through exposing others to new ideas or providing a new outlook towards problems and discussions. As a Vietnamese-American, I am proud of the qualities that make me unique and I want to use the philosophies I have gained as an immigrant to contribute to those around

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.

Almost 80% of people die from heart disease. The only way to know your level of risk is to be assessed by a healthcare professional and to be checked for factors such as your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, waist measurement and BMI. Once you know your overall risk, agree with your healthcare professional on a plan for specific actions you should take to reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. The Circulatory System is made up of three main parts: The heart, the blood vessels and the blood. Sometimes the watery fluid called lymph and the vessels that carry it are considered to be part of the Circulatory System. The heart is a special pump that pumps the blood around the body. The purpose of this paper was to summarize information about the heart, explain how it works, and discuss its purpose. It was said that the heart evolves through several different stages inside the womb, first resembling a fish's heart, then a frog's, which has two chambers, than a snake's, with three, before finally adopting the four-chambered structure of the human heart. I also told you how the heart works. When the heart contracts, the chambers become smaller, forcing blood first out of the atria into the ventricles, then from each ventricle into a large blood vessel connected to the top of the heart. Now the purpose of the heart is the size of its owner's clenched fist, the organ sits in the middle of the chest, behind 1the breastbone and between the lungs, in a moistened chamber that is protected all round by the rib cage. It can also be easy to fix the heart. The only way to know your level of risk is to be assessed by a healthcare professional and to be checked for factors such as your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, waist measurement and BMI. The heart is very important for your

I have been searching for a career that will integrate with my degree in biology. I do not want to be in a situation where I would be constantly working at a desk. What excites me the most in medical technology, is being able to apply my knowledge to more advanced methodologies and instrumentation. During my time working in organic chemistry research, I worked with a few elementary instruments such as rotary evaporators, columns and vacuum distillation glassware. Although this may not give me an encompassing view of what is to be required of me in this program, my appeal with the few instruments sparked my interest. I want to work in a field where I have a hands on approach with my knowledge. After researching the requirements of a medical

The hearts role is to pump oxygenated blood to every cell in the body by having a continuous beat. Throughout time the heart has created mystery, however current technology has solved most of the mystery, there still remains an enchantment and eagerness to learn more.

Being that my mother has attended medical school several times, I first handedly have seen how difficult it can be. I have been told by many people to pick a different profession because of that; But because of how passionate I am about cardiology and the amount of times I have experienced people deal with heart problems has assured me that I have chose the right profession. I being a very conscientious person has has also assured me that I will be able to tackle medical school and become a cardiologist. I believe that the first steps of becoming a cardiologist is that I have personally experienced people suffer from
