Family Medicine Personal Statement

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 want to empower my patients to take control over their health; the best way for me to accomplish that is to remain in direct and prolonged contact with the same patients over time as their primary care physician. My own life and my teaching experience equip me with the tools and passion to care for patients over a lifetime through primary care.

I am interested in this program because it'll help me career wise and help me with personal growth. After I graduate high school I am planning on following the pre-med track as a major and this program would help me get a sense of what its going to be like as a pre-med student prior to me going to a college or universities, if I join their medical science track. In addition, although I want to study pre-medicine and science I haven't had much opportunities to study the different branches of sciences outside my school's curriculum, which is usual regents based and they only have 1 AP science class, AP environmental science which isn't the field I am interested in. Furthermore, I would like to join the program because they also focus on helping

As an aspiring physician my preparation has been driven by motivation, intelligence and most importantly commitment. Over the course of my undergraduate education I have developed strong communications skills all while maintaining a strong work ethic. My best attribute is my willingness to help other. I am caring, compassionate, confident, cultivated and consistently eager to learn. The career path I have chosen has tested my ability to deal with uncertainty, problem solving, and most importantly helped me to distinguish my strengths and weaknesses. I have learned to manage risk and deal effectively with problems. Overall, I have developed the skills to virtually engage people.

A medicine personal statement shows regardless of whether you can compose a reasonable, cognizant exposition that is consistently and linguistically rectify. Nowadays, student’s composition abilities are frequently assumed inadequate until demonstrated generally. In the event that you anticipate presenting your application through AMCAS, the length of your medicine personal statement ought to be 5300 characters, which ought to be plentiful space to concisely separate yourself from different candidates. While writing medicine personal statement one should think about how your past and current encounters have added to your learned person, individual and professional development. Medical schools give alterable guidance on the most skilled framework

I am interested in a residency program that will support these goals and one that challenges me to be the best I can be. It is my intent to train at an institution that provides care to diverse and underserved communities. Following residency my plan is to pursue a family planning fellowship. Afterward I hope to work in an academic setting. My ultimate ambition is to become a physician who can provide exceptional care for all women in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

When I think of what leads me to pursue a doctorate in public health, I admit that the process has been somewhat convoluted. I began my educational career at the University of Louisville as an undergraduate student with the intention to double major in exercise science and psychology. Somehow as a 17 year old, I knew that physical and mental health were somehow related. Although I eventually dropped my major in exercise science in favor of graduating sooner with my bachelor’s in psychology. Health promotion and maintenance has continued to be a way in which I frame my understanding about the importance and availability of mental health resources. Constantly evolving, my research interests have led me towards public health promotion.

I have always had a keen eye on medicine as a whole and not a specific specialty by itself. It has always been such a hassle when I am asked “What kind of specialization do I want to do?” ; I never had an answer for that, because I could never choose a single focus, and my goal became clear to me when I first did my three months of internal medicine clerkship. It was the very best, from the ICU and the wards to the clinics, ever since then, I have enjoyed every opportunity I got to be in the wards/clinic. Even before that, I enjoyed volunteering in concentration camps, where you get to see different types of population.

From childhood, I had a great respect for health care professionals and always envisioned becoming one myself. The primary reason for my respect for health care professionals was the status and veneration they attained in a society; however, as I started working as a physical therapist, I realized that the satisfaction I felt in helping people by improving the quality of their lives was most rewarding. From my perspective, the important issue in public health is the lack of preventive medicine and health education. I have an immense ability to explain the difficult language of a medical condition in a simple and lucid manner so that a common person can understand. As a physical therapist, I realized that most of my patients were unaware of

Working in Medicine has always been my dream. As a young child I was inspired by many doctors I have been with. Getting into Medical school, however, is my first step. Medical school is something laudable to get into. Medical school is my first trial into achieving my goal in medicine.

When I lived in Iran, my mother worked as a social worker at a public hospital. Watching her and her colleagues work for the underserved sparked my interest in public policy and public health from an early age. As I progressed through my studies in political science, I noticed that most success stories were focused on the family unit. Research repeatedly showed that when parents were empowered with information, developmental markers, such as school attendance and nutrition, improved significantly. I decided that I wanted the opportunity to help families improve their children’s lives, just as my mother had done as a social worker.

In November 2015, my world was changed because my daughter was born. As a new mom, I had a hard time getting through baby blues due to sleep deprivation, breast engorgement, worrying about insufficient breastmilk and being a good mom. I felt isolated and lack of social support since I was the first one being a mom among my friends, as a racial minority in the U.S. and an international student. At the one-month checkup, I did a survey from the pediatrician about postpartum depression, and I got 7 points out of 10. I decided to go out and looked for new mom groups and talked to them; I realized that I was not alone. The experience inspired me to find solutions to benefit new moms and this community and to explore the role of technology in personal

One of my Med school buddies nonchalantly mentioned to me during a casual conversation that family medicine was “the best” field and this is how I remember my interest in family medicine having started. Moving forward, as I considered the implications of a career in family medicine, I began to take into consideration the vast array of illnesses around me that I was naïve of before becoming a medical student. There is my father recently starting losartan for hypertension, my mother and sister’s migraines, my younger brother having eczema on his arms in connection to his asthma, my uncle’s rheumatoid arthritis, my aunt’s recent hepatitis infection, another brother’s Vitiligo of the foot, an aunt who recently had bilateral knee replacements due to osteoarthritis, and a younger cousin in Pakistan, where I hail from originally, who has a limp due to undiagnosed hip dysplasia. Then there is Pakistan’s polio vaccination deficiency, and my uncle who has polio of one leg, recently starting to use a wheelchair.

I believe Family Medicine is a community based discipline providing information and access to community services and adapting to its ever changing needs. The Family Physician plays a central role in this discipline and acts as a skilled clinician who is able to diagnose and manage conditions that are common to the served population, as well as recognize serious life threatening illnesses and treat them appropriately, in addition to serving as a health resource and advocating for public policy to promote

It all began when I was eight years, my father and I were waiting patiently in our community health center to see the doctor because I had a fever. Few minutes later, a young man stepped out from a wooden door wearing a long white coat with a stethoscope gently resting around his neck. I turned to my father and asked “Dad, is that an Angel”? My father replied, “No son that is the doctor we came to see”. This experience opened up my dream to become a physician.
