I Will Become a Physician

My interest in medicine was sparked by my father, a physician trained in the field of orthopedic surgery, who has shown me the power of caring and compassionate patient care. I am no stranger to the sacrifices that doctors must make to achieve their medical degree; I also see the satisfaction

My volunteer experiences taught me that I value the physician-patient relationship of primary care medicine. Although volunteering in the E.D. showed me the excitement of emergency medicine, I found myself wondering about the follow-up care for the patients. Through other volunteering opportunities, I discovered that people of all ages and mental capabilities, including those with dementia or special needs children can build relationships when treated as equals and enjoy being listened to. Finally, my five years at the C.A.R.E. Clinic taught me the importance of adequate medical care for all community members. Together, my volunteer experiences influenced my life goals of becoming a rural primary physician who has the ability to serve and build long-term relationships with all patients. (798)

In the medical field there is a lack of diversity for Black and Hispanic physicians, not to mention women of all races. The lack of diversity is a huge problem because it prevents unique ideas from being shared and the lack of understanding in people’s differences. Therefore, it is my duty and passion to help advance diversity in the medical field. Which will then improve health care to underserved populations, allowing them to gain a personal connection with their medical providers.

Currently, I am working towards becoming a General Surgeon by helping myself to earn a Medical Assisting certificate so that I may obtain a job to work my way through school if necessary.

Tutoring taught me a lot about how to teach in the most effective way for that particular students, how to gauge when to listen to the ideas of others and when to provide my own, and how to make ideas more understandable and relatable. All of these skills are essential to being a mentor and would aid in creating the ELI experience for the future

My goal of becoming a doctor was reinforced when I received shocking news that my grandfather has passed away from a heart failure. The feelings of emptiness consumed my inner being upon hearing the sad news. As a twelve year old immigrant, bilingual of Vietnamese American, I fully experienced the sadness and hardship caring for an old age family member that now has passed away. He was my beloved grandparent and was always there to raise me. I felt completely helpless and powerless, unable to prevent my grandfather from passing away. I became frustrated and started to ponder if the turn of events would have been any different if I had better insight to what medical care had to offer. I would have been able to advise my grandfather about his condition and perhaps his problem may have been preventable. I vowed to become a competent doctor to better understand my grandfather 's death, and to make a real impact on preventing others’ loved ones from passing away due to my lack of medical knowledge.

I identify primarily as an American but I am of African and Indian descent. Growing up in these cultures makes me uniquely able to offer a deeper understanding of people from similar backgrounds and to add diversity to the medical school class. I am conscious of what coming from a diverse background entails and how this shapes one’s life and experiences. Physicians serve a similarly diverse population and their practice should reflect this diversity- something I am prepared to do.

To paraphrase a prediction Thomas Edison made back in 1902, the doctor of tomorrow won't give patients drugs or other concoctions. He will instead concentrate on teaching his patients about caring for the human body, the foods they eat, and how to prevent disease.

I want to be making money and be able to support my family. I will go to college, not just go, I WILL MAKE SURE to go to college. Then, I will complete the eight full years of development in order to obtain my doctorates degree. While in the mean time I will be on the lookout for jobs in need of doctors so I can just start off at the lowest stage then eventually work my way to the top. I know life doesn't just hand you awards so I will be on the highest lookout for great opportunities. I will do my best, put 150% of my devotion to make sure I'm successful so I can become the best doctor I want to be and the best doctor patients want to re-visit. I will work my hardest to achieve my goal. I will become successful. Those people who doubt others are the ones who do not have the strength or ability to reach their own personal limits and those are the people who I believe become miserable in their life and as they get older.

My dream of studying medicine is not a volatile one based on rumors of the fulfilling life of a physician , but rather based on research, an understanding of the profession and close-up experience. The complex structure of the human body is a unique beauty. Astrid Alauda once said "Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one". There is no truer fact in life, I appreciate this so much I always do my best to look after myself and I want to be able to do the same for others .From an early age I have been fascinated by the workings of life. The human body is a remarkable machine with many diverse systems. My love of science is just one of my reasons for choosing medicine. I enjoy a challenge particularly towards a rewarding objective and although medicine is a tough career it can be enormously gratifying, highlighted by the doctors I

As a child, the most fascinating incident which planted the first seeds of medicine into my brain was a renal transplant performed on one of my close relatives. This incident not only proved my assumption that only inanimate objects were reparable wrong, but also inspired me to choose medicine as my definite career choice. My aspiration to be of service to humanity in conjunction with my belief that human race is safeguarded from infinite diseases by white-coated medical professionals, right from cradle to grave, shaped my personal ambition to become a doctor.

I want many things in life but the thing I want the most is to be a doctor. I want to be useful to this world. I want to make god happy for creating me. I want to be a doctor because there are many people who are in desperate need of medical attention, but either can’t afford it or there is no medical services near. I want to travel to poor countries with poor medical attention and offer free medical services. I also want to major in surgery and therapy because the there are many diseases that require surgery and some people had been through many bad events and need help getting over them. Many people don’t want to go to therapy because they thing that therapy is for crazy people. I want to educate people with low resources on important things that are beneficial to their wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of others. I also want to teach young teens about

Upon boarding my plane for India, I sat next to a friendly, older man. Once he realized I was 19 and traveling alone he asked, “Aren’t you nervous?” At that moment I realized that among all the things I did feel about going to volunteer at a hospital in Southern India -excitement, wonder and curiosity- nervousness was not on the list. And when I was unexpectedly locked out of the terminal during a midnight layover in Chennai, having to sleep on the sidewalk with an armed guard pacing nearby while we waited for the airport to reopen, I still wasn’t nervous. My ability to navigate India in the middle of the night, remain calm facing unexpected and uncomfortable circumstances while adjusting to cultural differences, will likewise ensure I excel as a medical student and one day as a physician.

My niece LuAnn has decided that she would like to have a career as a doctor. She is a very intelligent high-school student who is looking into her future and wants to make the right choices about her future. She has called me for advice about her pursuing a career in the medial field as a doctor. My niece LuAnn would like to find the best location for school and also a location for a medical career that goes beyond school. She knows I am taking a course in business economics and has asked me to put together a portfolio of information I gather on the market for physicians in terms of supply and demand, elasticity, economic profit and loss and cost of production. Of course as her aunt I am more than willing to help and I want my niece to be knowledgeable with the most up to date information and pertinent information possible on this career choice. I have decided to educate myself about the marker for this particular career and treat this project as if it was my own career choice. Hopefully with the information I gather and provide to my niece she will have the tools necessary to make an educated decision and evaluate her career choice.
