Furthermore, I have watched many of my family members struggle with their finances due to the lack of job stability and I intend to carry on a different financial future .

Healthcare and healthcare planning are vital in today’s ever-changing world, without education and experience one cannot help patients or make policy changes that benefit all stakeholders. In addition, many people do not understand the ever-changing medical policies and treatment options that are available. Therefore, I am compelled to use my knowledge and education to coordinate healthcare needs of the people in my community. Whether this is managing outpatient care, inpatient care needs or healthcare resources. Therefore, the Marylhurst Healthcare MBA program and all three concentrations will enable me to obtain the skills I need to succeed.

A medical practice that I have highly considered is general surgery. Both my grandfather and uncle are general surgeons, so the idea of following in their footsteps interested me greatly. Also, the idea of combining science and art, as doctors do, has always fascinated me and called me to this profession since a very young age. Like any doctor, the road to becoming a general surgeon is vigorous. “Surgery is a career for the committed. Much of your life is dictated by the demands of the operating room. The training is long and demanding. But for those who love it, a

I love the sciences and find every bit of them exciting and fascinating. I understand that becoming a medical practitioner isn't just about the sciences and the chemistry behind it all, it also includes the human aspect of health sciences.  As a doctor, your "niche" in this world is to alleviate the pain of others. Having lived and grown up in Zimbabwe, I had seen suffering, I had seen pain. When I saw relatives devastatingly ill, it ached within me that I wasn’t able to do anything. Contrasted with the doctor stories I saw on the television, I was convinced that this was not how it was supposed to

My brain is filled with thoughts that race at a million miles an hour. I think about math equations and science experiments. I am constantly learning something and studying anatomy. My head is filled with memories, good and bad, that shape who I am. My heart is filled with passion about human anatomy and surgery. My heart doesn’t make a lot of my decisions as I try to be as level headed as possible however my heart still races when I solve a math problem or get to observe a surgery. I try my hardest in everything I do. I throw myself 100% into my work because I pride myself in getting good grades and pushing myself to be a better person every single day. I have rough days and good days but I still have to get myself out of bed every

While the pain is fresh and the glory is sweet, I decided to write this article about my experience running the marathon and how in my opinion, it metaphorically correlates the beginning and the diurnal responsibility of my profession as a Surgical Technologist.

First, I’m going to give you a little information from the very beginning. I have always found the medical field fascinating. As a matter of fact, when I was little and still to this day, I could sit and watch the surgery shows on TV for humans and animals for hours on end. My favorites were the plastic surgery shows. They are so gross and cool! It was a long process and I never really found out about Sonography till recently and its career advancements! At first, I thought that I wanted to be a surgeon for people, but then I found out how much school it takes and how long it takes to actually be called a “surgeon”! Plus, I remembered that I’m not much of a people person. Never have been and probably won’t ever be! Then I thought I wanted to be a Surgeon for animals, but that takes even longer than being a surgeon for a human being! Believe it or not!

The job I would like to do when I am older is neonatal surgery. I think neonatal surgery is a wonderful profession for me because I love babies. This job entails working with and performing life saving surgeries to premature babies, or babies with birth defects. I feel as though this job is a gift because you’re giving life to another human and also giving them another chance at life.

The career I have chosen to pursue in the future is a surgeon. A surgeon is a physician who performs surgical operations. They are who cut the human body for the purpose of removing diseased tissue or organs, to repair body systems, or to replace diseased organs with transplants. Surgeons may be physicians, dentists, podiatrists, and veterinarians. Surgeons can be general surgeons and perform all types of surgery, or they can be specialized, such as heart surgeons or brain surgeons. I plan to specialize in heart surgery or as its also known cardiothoracic surgeon. A cardiothoracic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This includes surgeons who can be called cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons, and congenital heart surgeons.

Essay 1 I began my career in healthcare ten years ago as a medical assistant. My role as an MA, while it had its highlights, left much to be desired. I wanted to build a rapport with patients where I could educate them on their diseases and provide clarity on disease management using my warm bedside manner; most of all I wanted a career where I could use my critical thinking skills. Thus, I embarked on a journey to become an LPN and became licensed as such. I have found that, although I love my job, my license holds me back from providing the patient care I would like to.

Early on in my life, I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss which was thought to be caused by an autoimmune response initiated by the cytomegalovirus. Since, I have seen an audiologist at least every year to check up on my hearing status and to issue new hearing aids when I grew out of old ones. When I finally realized what my audiologist has done for me, I never stopped fanaticizing that I would one day be the one to save or even change someone’s life. Being a changed patient is one of the major motivations that have driven my desire to go into the professional medical field.

Ever since as I remember my childhood I have always dreamed to work in the medical field and be the part of the solution when it was about helping people. As I was growing up I read a lot of medical literature and magazines that fascinated me more and I strongly decided to take medical field track. During the primary school and a high school period I have always volunteered and offered my help to the nursing staff and even some of my pears were more comfortable to speak about some health issues with me. However I have always suggested seeking a professional opinion. Consequently in my mind was always that thought that I would like to know more about and around medicine.

I plan on being a radiologist when I grow up. Ever since I was little, I recall signing fellow classmates’ neon colored casts, covered in smiley faces and stick figures. The mere idea of a broken or fractured bone being fixed seemed impossible to my 7-year-old brain and ever since, I became fascinated with x rays and medical equipment. Having never had a broken or fractured bone (and crossing my fingers I won’t in the future as well), I wanted to know how broken bones were possible to mend from the god-gifted hands of a doctor. Once I reach my goal of being a radiologist, I plan to volunteer in my local community and give back to them as a doctor. I plan on also volunteering in poor parts of the world, such as India and South American

I aspire to be a surgeon, I always wanted to. No matter what others opinions were, no matter who tried to drive my plans

Nowadays with all the jobs there are to offer there are so many good choices, but if I were to choose right now I would definitely try and go for the jackpot as a plastic surgeon. The average plastic surgeon makes a salary of greater than or equal to that of $208,000 or to be more precise around $150 an hour.
