Just as the institution is eager to continue embracing the ever-changing world of healthcare and medicine, I too embody this same distinguishing characteristic. Throughout my undergraduate experiences I have learned in order to be a steward and servant of the medical profession one must exercise teamwork, service, empathy, accountability, and optimism; all of which coincide with the tenets that are declared by the Meharry Medical College, School of Medicine culture. Attending this medical school would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation and persistence. I know for certain there would be no greater experience than to be a part of the Meharry Medical College

Since we teach students from diverse backgrounds, I hope to gain insight on the understanding of the general population regarding the various topics in medicine, which will enable me to not only to educate these students regarding any false information or gaps in information they may have, but also learn of the common misconceptions in our community, so that I may be able to effectively educate my patients and their families in the future. All in all, I look forward to investing my time and talents in the mini-med program that aims to provide medical education to the next generation of citizens in our

With the start of medical school, studying basic sciences opened a door to the world enriched with years and years of research. With each passing semester, I gained more knowledge about the biochemical, physiological and anatomical aspects of medicine. The more knowledge I acquired, the more eager I became to apply what I had learnt into clinical practice. Those two years formed the foundation

A long standing tradition is highly valued but compromises may need to be implemented in order to keep up with the proceeding changes in the medical field. Johnson proposes that the current

Medicine has been a part of my life since as far as I could remember. The interest in this field sparked me at the moment of first experiences with the settings of a simple doctor’s office. Everything and anything that has to do with some sort of science always tends to attract my curiosity. In the seventeen years of my existence, although there is still more to learn, I believe the experiences and activities I have participated in make me a good candidate to become a successful general

Over the years of medical practice, I always enjoyed my role as an internist, in every level of my capacity. The broad scope of the field increased my interest and curiosity, and I feel myself more motivated and responsible for learning the art of diagnosis, evaluation and management of the patients in the most effective ways to make their lives better. This strong desire encourages me to choose the field of internal medicine as my career, with the vision to empower the ailing with knowledge and serve deprives in the community. The field of medicine demands devoted study life and endless practice to be a good clinician. The clinical evidences and guidelines are continuously changing for the betterment of patient care and to decrease the morbidity and mortality.

It is a pleasure to write a letter in support of Ms. Pickett’s application to medical school. I have known Ms. Sharonda Pickett since she joined Langston University in August 2008. She knew that she wanted to be a physician from the outset. However, she continued to shadow many medical professionals while working at the Blood Institute and this has only determination

Confidence is important in advanced practice nursing because it guides our actions and treatments; however, it is equally important to understand that no person can always be right or make the right diagnosis. In addition to providers being aware of their faults, it is also equally important for providers to learn from their mistakes and review where the mistakes were being made so that improvements can be made in the future. As an advanced practice nurse I must make certain I am continuously placing the patient first in their care; my objective as a practitioner should be to ensure the patient receives tremendous care that results in improvements in quality of life and in disease processes. In order to ensure quality care, I must realize my mistakes and understand that there are multiple ways to care for a person and that my way may not be the best for the patient as an individual. Ego should never impede proper treatment of

I am writing this letter to give my highest recommendation of Ms. Shari Allen for admission to the school of medicine’s physician assistant program. I have had the opportunity of working closely with Shari in my clinical practice of Pediatrics as a preceptor for the greater part of three months in 2009. During her time as a mentee, Shari has demonstrated a strong interest in becoming a future practitioner in medicine by her drive to learn basic sciences, her curiosity for medicine and her ability to learn quickly, which makes her an outstanding candidate for the program.

I, Dr. Eric McDonald, MD am truly enthused about recommending Dhoha Alhashim for admission into medical school. It gives me immense pleasure, indeed, to suggest one of our emergency department's marvelous medical scribes, Ms. Alhashim, into your incoming class. I have known Dhoha Alhashim for the past six months in her capacity as a medical scribe. As a medical scribe, Ms. Alhashim had the opportunity to work side by side with some of the department's successful providers; her duties included documenting medical history, physical exam, procedures performed by providers, and transcribed lab and radiology test results on patients' charts. I, personally, had the opportunity to work with this intelligent young lady and observed the transformation of this incredible medical scribe over the past six months. Ms. Alhashim has been exposed to patients with a variety of symptoms and witnessed difficult patient encounters and critical cases, observing the proper ways to manage such situations. Ms. Alhashim has also become acquainted with our department's medical equipments. We have certainly been very pleased with the work performed by Dhoha Alhashim. Her intelligence, enthusiasm and curiosity for learning have enabled her to

I participated in numerous and varied electives to gain a wide appreciation for the scope and practice of medicine. I learned countless lessons from physicians, nurses, midlevel providers and ancillary staff, while caring for hundreds of patients gaining a level of autonomy. The importance of a focused history and physical – to not be afraid of the myriad of details and at the same time to not loose sight of the bigger picture – how to present cases, and how to formulate a high-quality differential diagnosis with appropriate testing measures were all emphasized. These experiences showed me that being an effective Internist involves not only the treatment of those severely ill, but also the need for comprehensive treatment of the patient and their families. I was genuinely inspired to be a part of the IM team and my goal of becoming an Internist was

As I began my medical education my interests had piqued; however, my true passion was ignited when I discovered the stimulating environment of internal medicine. Foremost, with the aid of an exceptional physician preceptor, I discovered that managing a wide variety of pathologies within a varied population is the ideal way to develop a broad clinical knowledge. Additionally, I found that I enjoyed the ‘hands-on’ component that comes with the privilege of performing procedures and resuscitation. Finally, I discovered that managing patients holistically, through collaboration and coordination, is the best way to facilitate excellent patient outcomes. It was after these discoveries that I decided to further my pursuit of a career in internal medicine.

It was during the second year of medical school on my clinical rotations when I was first introduced to internal medicine. On the second day of the rotation, I was posted in the outpatient clinic. The attending doctor entered the room with a patient and asked, “What is the diagnosis of this patient based on the physical finding?” When I looked at the patient, my eye knew what exactly to look for as I had read about it before. I answered ”acromegaly.” I had re-experienced the excitement and the sense of accomplishment that I experienced when I fixed my sister’s computer. At that moment, I knew that this is what I will love to do my entire life. In the coming years, I had the opportunity to meet varieties of patients with a wide spectrum of problems, from all sections of the society, speaking a multitude of languages. I gained experience and knowledge from each patient encounter, and my desire to pursue Internal Medicine grew even

I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.
