Laguardian Personal Statement

I am pursuing a career as a radiologist technician due to a number of reasons. It first started with my fascination of the complexity of the human body. In high school I had no idea I wanted to go into the medical field until I took an anatomy and physiology class, and this subject fascinated me. Solving problems and seeing results is something I want out of a career. I am looking forward to the life-long learning that is involved with a job in the healthcare field. As such, I am interested in a specialization in radiology so I can continue my education and provide a higher level of care to ill patients. Caring for the well being of others has always been one of my priorities and working in radiography would create opportunities for me to provide

In 2009, I had chosen to pursue the Radiology Technician Program. I had picked this program, not because I wanted to do this as a career, but because at the time I had to pick a major and

Cleveland Clinic Science Internship Program, Radiology (2016) This is a nine-week, paid internship for rising high school juniors and seniors who attend school in Northeast Ohio. This internship gives students the ability to work with nationally-renowned physicians, researchers, and other healthcare professionals. Students are given the opportunities to focus on research, innovation, education, and development of better, more efficient ways to achieve quality in patient care. I had the opportunity to shadow and assist in every specialty of Fairview Hospital’s Radiology Department and completed a research

The first couple weeks of school are always the most stressful. They get you thinking about how the semester is going to be and different ways to get you motivated. However, the beginning of this semester is probably one of the most stressful semesters that I have encountered because being a part of the radiography program is a very big achievement. It is a program where I know I will have to be ahead of the game the whole two years, which keeps me on my feet. Throughout this paper I am going to discuss the reasons why I wanted to enter into the program, and the things that I have learned so far along with my short-term and long-term goals.

I currently attend Baton Rouge General School of Radiologic Technology to pursue an Associates degree through Northwestern State University. I chose this profession because I always want to help others. I want to play a part in the healing process of patients. Being able to help people determine things going on inside their body interest me and that is why I chose Radiology. The true definition of a Radiologic Technologist is the “medical personnel who perform diagnostic imaging examinations and administer radiation therapy treatments. They are educated in anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, equipment protocols, radiation safety, radiation protection and basic patient care”. This definition makes this job seem easy but it is not an easy job at all. We do so much pushing, pulling, and lifting of patients it is physically exhausting. When I first chose this profession I did not think there would be this much to taking images of someone. It is more than just placing a patient somewhere and

I, Ronnishia Thomas should be selected to take part in the CLAHEC CI:Healthcare 2017 program. I should be selected because it is an exciting opportunity that I would like to take advantage of. I am a senior and I want to make sure I'm choosing the career best for me. I've been saying that I want to be an Obstetric Sonographer since the beginning of time and I'm not sure if I want to change it or not. I want to explore Radiologic Technology, Surgical Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Forensic Science, and more. One thing about me is that I love to help people. I believe that it's important to have a trait as such when wanting to pursue a career in the medical field. I think this program will benefit me because I haven't started college and this

Quinnipiac medical students and health science students have the opportunity to develop skills that can be acquired only in the clinical setting and implement effective communication and professional behaviors with patients and healthcare providers. Students are exposed to a variety of healthcare settings as well as the variety of diagnoses/conditions radiologists encounter.

Like many students seeking admission to Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC), I am hoping to use my time at RCTC to build a strong foundation for my educational and professional futures. I hope to move on from RCTC to the University of Minnesota (U of M), where I can obtain a nursing degree with an emphasis in radiology. I believe that with its competitive academic environment, small class sizes, diverse student population, and wonderful business and educational contacts, RCTC offers me the best opportunities for beginning my academic and professional careers.

Hello its nice to meet you, my name is Genesis Valenzuela. I am currently a full time student at Arizona Western College. My goal is to get a double major in Nursing and Radiology. What I hope to obtain from this class is to learn the systems of the human body and what functions they provide. I know that this course will help me tremendously for my major but it will also teach me about information that I have never known about.

There’s always more to learn and I plan on learning as much as possible to be successful in life not only for me but my kids as well. What makes me unique is I had years of practice with patients. By having two kids patients is your middle name. I also have very good time management being a full time student at all time with two kids to care for you get the hang of time management pretty quick. I expect from the program is to shape me into the best Radiation technician.

I am a current radiology student with the drive and motivation to succeed in my classes, so I can gain knowledge and apply it in a promising career. The fall of 2017, and spring of 2018 semester will be my final year at GBC. I enjoy going to GBC because I feel like the administration genuinely cares about their students. I am thankful I’ve had the opportunity to have office hours with my professors, and the chance to build meaningful relationships with my peers in the classroom.

Time is going by so fast that I cannot believe the second semester is coming to an end, but on the other hand, I am very happy and proud of how well we are all doing. The program has been very intense but equally rewarding. Our instructors are always there for us, teaching us, challenging us, supporting us, listening to us, encouraging us, and always remaining dedicated to our success as students and our futures in the field. I also love working in our clinical sites. I enjoy being able to serve patients and offer them medical care as well as relief, comfort, and positivity. Taking x-rays and reviewing and critiquing my images is not only educational but also interesting for me. Every patient is different, and every exam is a unique experience. My goal is to always take the best diagnostic images while collimating close to the anatomy of interest, exposing the patients as little as possible, protecting them and their family members or any personnel involved in the case from unnecessary radiation, and having the lowest repeat rate possible. I am still in the process of learning how to achieve this goal, but I feel happy about my current performance and

And then one day, I stumbled upon the specialty of medical imaging, and I knew this was a career I could pursue and eventually succeed in. Many days after that were filled with researching every possibility within the area of imaging, and between my research and a tour of the radiology department, I was hooked. With so many different modes of imaging, I enjoyed contemplating which one I would thrive in, and so began my fascination with x-rays and ultrasonography. With this in mind, so begun my journey at Boise

When I started to this program at the UTICA college, my main focus was to get maximum marks but now I am enjoying the information which are very helpful in clinical practice to improve decision making skill and patients outcomes. I am currently working in skilled nursing facility setting, most of my geriatric patient refer to physical therapy by physician referral with diagnostic report or diagnosis. Moreover, After my PHT721 class, I frequently access direct online available report of different imaging techniques in the patient's profile of facility software, which help me to improve understanding of different diagnostic imaging.

The surgeon went through my MRI, pointing out the structures of my neck and the disc impinging on my spinal cord and nerves. I was amazed with the fine details the films possessed and curious as to how the MRI machine worked. This curiosity led me into a job working for Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Imaging Department. There I handled prescriptions and orders, spoke with referring physicians and explained the upcoming radiologic examinations to patients. This position would open my eyes to the world of radiology. The work came easy and I found myself with stretches of down time, which I spent talking with the imaging technicians and clinical staff. They exposed me to the many different diagnostic modalities, taught me the basics of anatomy seen in imaging, and showed me the pathology in each scan. The culmination of these events led me into medicine, and specifically directed me towards the field of
