Examples Of An Ideal Doctor

Through this opportunity I will gain invaluable experience within the medical field and gain knowledge about a field of medicine that I have not previously been exposed to.

My knowledge and abilities are developing; nevertheless, I acknowledge they are far from refined. Consequently, I feel the Physician Assistant Fellowship in Hospital Internal Medicine is the ideal program to facilitate professional growth and encourage a successful transition from student to provider. In turn, I am confident I possess the curiosity, passion, and work ethic to make the most an extraordinary educational opportunity. I am excited to meet the challenges of the fellowship and the demands of internal medicine. Thank you for your

The workings of Internal Medicine embrace my personality, interests and abilities and I am confident I will excel and fulfill my goal of making a significant impact on patients'

This article looks into the profession and personal relationship expectations professionals are expected to have with their living patiences and the deceased, as students. Before the 1960 to the 1970 's the expectations are set that the doctors are to know more, have good bedside manner, be personal but not to cross the line of developing relationships. This eventually changed to the expectations of having "an 'affective neutrality ' or a 'detached concern ' for clients". Due to the social norms of the time of persons in authority situations having a more colder demeanor to gain that power over others. There seems to be a fine line of expectations of the physicians to show sympathy, but not to care to much in worry that it would effect the decision and care of the health care being provided. Along with having control over the way a physician cares for the individuals other basic human emotions, such as disgust and attraction need to be in check at all times as well. Unity in caring for all patients is key , not only as

By entering this program, I hope to acquire this deeper understanding by pursuing a degree complementary to my specialty and gain crucial experience as a PhD to thrive as a scientist. I believe my foundation in research, academic performance, and motivation to enter the field of medicine make me a strong candidate for admission as a MD/PhD student, and I hope to use these degrees together to serve the scientific community in ways I could not by choosing just one. It would be my purpose as a researcher to contribute to our understanding of the human body and my purpose as a physician to bring a higher level of care to as many patients as possible, both present and

A career in medicine is not only a career in treating illness, but also a career in education and research. During the next year I plan to continue working with Dr. Alexander Morden in his medical practice as I have for the past year. Working with Dr. Morden has taught me more about the medical profession than any other experience that I have had. Through observation of physician patient interactions and performing my functional duties as a medical secretary, I am constantly exposed to new medical terminologies,treatment regimes, pharmacology, and most importantly, patients. I have also been introduced to the importance of medical billing, coding, and practice management. I intend to enhance my role at the office by training to become a medical

For most medical students, the transition from medical school to residency and actually deciding on a specialty is quite intimidating. There are many unknowns, a few botched plans, and for someone like me who grew up in a family of immigrants, a lot of high expectations. The journey that led to my decision to pursue a career in Internal medicine was by no means conventional, but rather the culmination of a lifetime of personal experiences and even some life-changing events. This decision has since been cemented by my experiences during my basic sciences and internal medicine rotation. Combined, these experiences have instilled an excitement in me to serve my community as an Internist.

As a member of the Texas D.O. pre-med organization at UT I was able to shadow a Dr. Georgeanne Freeman, DO, owner of the Downtown Doctors clinic. In the exam room I could immediately tell that Dr. Freeman had a close relationship with her patients. The first few minutes were spent talking about the patient's life, family, or hobbies. Easing medicine into the conversation made the patients feel more comfortable with the visit. This was the first time I witnessed the compassionate physician-patient relationship that I’ve envisioned myself sharing with my patients. What motivates me to become a D.O., is that the whole-person approach to medicine advocates D.O.’s to have interpersonal relationship with patients, which I witnessed with Dr. Freeman.

As I evaluate for my residency training, the first and most important quality I look for is the ability to further my education-both clinically and academically. I endeavor to find a residency program that would best train me and prepare me in all the fields of medicine by offering excellent clinical resources and teaching in a setting where the residents are encouraged to be independent and take on a higher level of responsibility for cases as their adeptness increases. I look forward for a program that not only provides me range of experience but a staff that works as a team to provide education for patients, family, community, and faculty. I am interested in a residency program that will enhance and amplify my clinical skills. The excellent

In closing, I am expecting for a reputable clinical program, which will offer a broad-ranging Internal Medicine training. My diverse life experiences have helped me understand that I have the mental force, determination, flexibility, and compassion to succeed as a valuable asset to a medical team. I will be dedicated to working sincerely during residency training and I pledge to commit all my energies for this

As of now, I have undergone classroom training and have worked three eight-hour shifts under three different doctors. I accompany the provider in their exam of the patient and in subsequent re-evaluations and procedures. Accordingly, I take notes, chart, and acquire lab results for the provider. In observing different doctors, I realize that each provider has their own style of interacting with patients, but patience, respect and understanding for their patients and their peers remains common to all of them, making them effective providers in the

This fellowship program would allow my interest in research to flourish and, at the same time, allow me to develop personal connections with the patients I care. Eventually I aspire to a career in academic medicine, which will allow me to reach my full potential as an educator and researcher. Academia allows for a continuous exchange of ideas and interaction with other learned colleagues, thereby enabling me to keep up to date with, and possibly contribute to, new advances in medicine. By engaging in such activities at an academic institution I also hope to pass on my knowledge to upcoming fellows, residents and medical students. As someone who has always been hardworking and goal-oriented, I am looking forward to beginning my fellowship. My

Initially, I wanted to immediately impact people’s lives like the miraculous surgery that had saved my mom’s, but I found myself frustrated with filing paperwork, walking patients to rooms, and distributing pillows or snacks. It was not until I shadowed a physician that my perspective changed entirely. I discovered that medicine went beyond just treating a disease: it was relational. Dr. Seese knew his patients by name, without referring to a chart or his notes. Whenever he greeted his patients, the exchanges resembled two good friends reuniting. When a woman came in with a recurring stroke, he did not just prescribe medications to treat her blood pressure, but spent time talking to her about barriers that impacted her health. Understanding her stressful circumstances, he offered counseling to help her cope and was there to listen and comfort her. I finally saw that medicine was completely patient-centered and that I could make a difference in someone’s day or life by doing something as simple as handing them an extra pillow or snack. Whether volunteering or shadowing, I whole-heartedly welcomed my role as I now understood the interactions with patients were more important than the tasks

I hope to gain acceptance into a residency program that will provide a diversified patient population with a range of clinical education to enhance my knowledge base and future career in pediatrics. Not only are academics important, but also having a close relationship with fellow residents and faculty is desirable because at the end of the day, we will all become one family. I will bring my dedication to the program, I will work hard, and I will adapt to any situation to reach my final goal. As a future pediatrician, having the ability to influence a child during early life is an honor. I look forward to being able to help children make good choices and start their life on the right

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa. My path to residency has not been a straight road. However, my professional and personal experiences combined with my determination will help in evolving myself into a purposeful physician. In the future, I wish to take part in the medical research and thus, support in forming a healthier society. I promise to involve myself completely in your internal medicine residency program to become an eminent primary care physician and serve the humanity. I wish to enter your residency program, which can kindle my passion and guide me to become an efficient primary physician.
