I Am A Part Of This Program

After a full year of Athletic Training clinical experience, I decided that my next step would be to pursue a degree as a physical therapist. The next two years were dedicated to making myself a desirable candidate for graduate programs so that I would be able to reach my goal. I began trying to squeeze in as many observation hours at different physical therapy settings as possible. Summer and winter breaks were dedicated to taking the prerequisites to meet program requirements. My friends would tell me that I was crazy for taking twelve credits each summer for the past two years.

The program is both social and academic. I was too ambitious to productive during my last summer of high school. Thus, despite being financially struggle, I tried my best to use my savings to attend the program, with the help of tuition scholarships. In here, I built great connections with faculties and friends, whom I still stay in contact and who are helping me with my academic endeavor. Being an on child who was raised protectively in home and never allow to go on field trip, I thought this was a unique program that allows me to gain independence being far away from home and support myself. The program taught me how to get along with roommates and how to be friends with different people before my real college life started. In the beginning, I shed blood and tears, missing my parents so much. However, I knew that the most difficult obstacle to overcome is overcoming myself. New Start gave a new effect on my work ethic because of the experience I had with college students’ team work and with the conference that I presented. The transition to college became easier a few months

Growing up in a family surrounded by traditions lead me to search for a school I could call home. With traditions including the cannon, light ceremony, and spring fling concert, Tufts is a place I hope to belong to. Also, if accepted, I hope to apply for the Tufts 1+4 Bridge-Year. By participating in service for over ten years and traveling to Thailand to volunteer, I learned how important service and cultural immersion is in my life. I hope to take advantage of this program as well as many others at Tufts to learn about my self and others.

I was determined more than ever to finish out my fifth semester strong at McLennan Community College and transfer to my dream school. I was enrolled in a few advanced courses and another math course, however, I was not going to give up. Overcoming chemistry and trigonometry in the previous semesters, being able to graduate from McLennan Community College, and wanting to transfer to Texas Woman’s University, was more than enough motivation for me to want to succeed in every class that semester. I studied hard and gave my all to ensure that I would be able to do just that; and on December 10th, 2016, I graduated from McLennan Community College with an Associate’s of Science Degree in General Studies. I am currently taking an additional semester at McLennan Community College so that my sister may finish her own college degree and will be transferring to Texas Woman’s University in the fall of 2017. Though my journey at McLennan Community College is almost done, my educational journey is far from over. After the completion of this semester, I plan on attending Texas Woman’s University and obtaining a degree in Family Studies with a Pre-Occupational Therapy focus. From there, I plan on applying to a Master’s of Occupational Therapy program and hope to eventually become an occupational therapist. My educational journey thus far has been a long and winding road; however, there is more still to come. The first chapter is nearly over, and I can’t wait to start my second chapter as a Texas Woman’s University

I want to attend the SNMA Conference to learn about and discuss any improvements in medical education as well as learn how physician advocacy plays a role in health care and if there are any initiatives/programs to better improve patient career. I should attend the conference because I'm considering a 5-year MD/MPH track, so this conference would be an eye opener and my first introduction into the public health sector.

I am interning at Center for American Progress, which is a progressive policy think tank, under their Women’s Health and Rights program. My main focus will be researching policy related to women’s health care and reproductive justice. Through this internship, I hope to gain hands on experience with policy and research related to women’s rights, and learn how this can actually make a difference in the status of women in the United States. Just from my first two days, I can tell I am going to have to learn how to research efficiently and effectively if I want to go into this field. I have never done very rigorous research, so this will be a great learning experience for me. I have also already learned a lot more about health care policy for women in the United States from my research, so I hope to gain a decent amount of knowledge on that subject during my time here. Professionally, I hope to make connections with not only my supervisors and co-workers in the Women’s Health and Rights department, but also people from other departments of the organization, such as the Economics department and LGBT department. That way my connections will not be isolated to just one field of study.

Dr. Winstein’s lecture really spoke to me, as a physical therapy student. There is so much to consider when choosing this career path, as well as so much to strive for. The lecture started with a thought-provoking question:

I want my time spent in the OTA program at Wright College to be as successful as possible. The program is very important to me especially since it could determine what my future career will be. I plan on taking this program very seriously, more seriously than anything else in my life. I understand that sacrifices will have to be made in order to make my time in the program a success and that some will be easier than others. I plan on making this program my number one priority and I realize this will most likely be the most difficult educational challenge I will experience to this point. I also understand that there will be difficult times that one can’t predict that must be dealt with. I plan to deal with any of these obstacles that may

What draws me most to the OD program at MCPHS is the fact that the university prides itself in maintaining a culturally diverse student body. I believe cultural diversity is an important quality to have especially when it comes to handling patients. I grew up in a culturally diverse city, went to an extremely culturally diverse university (Wayne State University) and believe my own cultural interests would make a fine addition to MCPHS.

With my strong background in research, I truly appreciate Temple 's effort to create a well-rounded student, with not just clinical experience, but opportunity scientific exploration. I have worked in several research labs, creating and

This amazing program will give me a jumpstart on my medical career. With this I will enable to work as medical assistant, far younger than most people. Furthermore, the job will give me experience in the medical field that will help me gain a better understanding of the field. Also, experience is not an easy thing to come by and it will be limited opportunity. Of course this job will be as I’m in college working towards my bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

Since coming to college, I have grown a desire to help create policies and programs to alleviate the disparities that exist in the US and globally. The understanding I have gained from sociology and ethics classes I have taken at UT has broadened my interest in health care and my volunteer experiences have solidified this classroom knowledge. As a student in the Health Science Scholars Honors Program, I have the opportunity to complete a senior capstone thesis project. This interest has had a major role in directing my research and I believe will effect the direction that I take in my career.

I realize that my most impactful development occurs in education when my determination as a student is complimentary to the university’s efforts to teach. Beginning my education at a community college, I master my learning ability by focusing on teaching and how to learn each subject most efficiently. Coming to Boulder with an Associate’s Degree, I realized how much more I am able to do with more resources and mentors. Leading research, becoming a learning assistant and challenging myself in courses taught me how much I can learn from an eclectic student body and faculty. To continue expanding and learning, I aspire to challenge myself academically and gain diverse clinical experience as part of UCSF’s MD/PhD Program. The Tetrad Program is designed for students, like myself, that want to expand their interdisciplinary research and collaboratively lead discoveries in medicine. By recognizing the benefits of a researcher’s and a clinician’s perspectives, I hope to develop both viewpoints as an MD/PhD

As a resident of Maryland for the past six years I have grown to love the culture and diversity of the greater Washington area. This community has been supportive of my education and has been a great place to live. I have had the opportunity to volunteer in multiple capacities and would love to continue to do that through my medical education and beyond. The unique methods that George Washington uses in its education of physicians also attracts me to the institution. The learning communities is something that is unique in medical education where small groups of students come together to work through curriculum and perform other activities in the community. The number of track programs available is also a key reason I want to attend your school.

Getting into Adelphi University Graduate program will give me the opportunity to engage in promoting an optimal standard of care for patients and the community. Being Alumni at Adelphi University I know how helpful, caring and passionate all the professors and faculty staff are. I
