MDA Personal Statement

If selected for admission, I plan to take advantage of IMSA’s unique learning opportunities by working diligently in all of my classes, joining clubs and teams to learn from my peers, and participating in Student Inquiry and Research to satisfy my curiosity and allow for more independent work. I come from a small high school with approximately one hundred students per class. Funding is a constant problem and learning opportunities are thus very limited. I’ve attempted to take as many science and math classes as possible, as well as world history, foreign language, and an advanced English course, but I still do not feel challenged. My school has done what it can to enhance my learning experience, but my math and science classes aren’t quite

I felt my heart racing, heard my name being called, and suddenly, anxiety turned into elation. Within moments, I was walking across the international stage in Orlando in front of 16,000 people. I had won 5th at DECA Internationals!

My studies in computer studies over the past few days had me discontented in the beginning and joyous with a shared determination by Saturday afternoon. I opened the learning guide for the weeks working session starting June 25 and ending July 1st for a quick glance of the topics and the requirements for successfully completing this unit work. From the onset, when I viewed the assignment, I asked myself what made me choose this course so early. I began doubting myself and my true potential without reading the full details and the literature associated with it. Off course this will not help me complete this assignment.

Touring Dallas Baptist University for the first time in November, I felt part of the culture. The location of DBU is essential in my life because it allows me to continue with my services that already established. The short commute from my house to DBU is convenient because allows me to save money not to live on campus and stay in close contact with my family. As well, this will also give me a chance to continue my community service with St. James Parish in Oak cliff and in West Dallas. Additionally, DBU is prominent because it is in the middle of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, which allows for a wider range of jobs, and networking opportunities. I am in the National Guard and my monthly drills are in Lewisville; this will allow me to continue with my current unit.

I am applying to the MD/MPH program after experiencing four years of undergraduate coursework to receive a degree in public health. The coursework as an undergraduate greatly drew my interest to things such as epidemiology, microbiology, environmental health, and global health. I was introduced to the importance of population health and preventative care, as well as the social aspects of health and the disparities stratified across populations. I believe that the rigorous undergraduate coursework I completed exemplifies my competence in terms of public health and suitability as a candidate for an MPH. I also had opportunities to have real-world experience related to public health, more specifically I have worked as an infectious epidemiology

My name is Brittney Duffy and I transferred from the financial assistance department at Metro. I have been employed with Baptist for 3 years. I started off as a CNA at the heart hospital Downtown and transitioned into the patient financial department in 2015. I am currently working on my Bachelors at FSCJ for Supervision and Management and I will graduate in summer 2018. I am extremely excited to be joining the BMDA team and am looking forward to starting this new journey in my career.

I would like to apply for a 2016 summer internship in the accounting department at the Tennessee Valley Authority Corporate Headquarters in Knoxville. After doing research online and with my career counselor, Robin Lay, at Tusculum College I have decided that the Tennessee Valley Authority would be a stupendous place to begin gaining real world experience and knowledge in the accounting field.

For years, I have always wanted to be either a nurse or a doctor and being in Health Science One and Health Science Foundations has brought me to learn new things over time about the body and its functions, medical terminology, and getting certifications for different things in healthcare. Having the opportunity to be in the CMAA class would teach me everything I need to know if I were to work in healthcare in an office setting. I am great with people and working hands on in a doctors office will give me a full view on what it’s like in the real world.

Looking forward, I hope to bring my understanding of and appreciation for complexities to Washington University School of Law. My diverse identity and experiences have taught me to approach people and situations with nuance. I grew up between a large Hispanic family and a predominantly white, well-educated community. I have grown up between the culture of the progressive and diverse D.C. and the conservative and homogenous Midwest. While challenging, living between distinct groups has showed me that life is more in the middle than anything, and the truth usually lies there as well.

Looking back at my years in school and my educational teachings, I see them as stepping stones that led me to where I’m today. From grade school to high school, we were slowly taught the knowledge necessary to later transfer into a college level classroom. Then once in college, our courses would act as stepping stones leading us to our chosen career path. For me personally, that will be the medical field. Specifically in Neonatal/Pediatric Nursing.

The primary reason you should hire me an entry-level Certified Medical Assistant is because I have a repertoire of skills that would benefit the medical practice. First of all, I took “Computer Applications” in my senior year of high school and allows me to comprehend computer programs and functions. Due to my background with computer programming, learning to use the EMR programming would be an easy transition for me. Another great benefit for the office, is that I have vast experience in customer service and secretarial duties. I am comfortable with answering phone calls, conversing with patients, working with computer programming, and so much more. Not only am I knowledgeable of secretarial responsibilities, I’m also multi-lingual. My nationality

The most important experiences I’ve had in science began when I was a child and have continued through my time as a student researcher at Howard University. My exposure to science in medicine occurred at a young age and on an intimate level. When I was young, I had various health problems asthma, allergies, and eczema; it was as if my body was rejecting the world it was in. My parents immigrated to the United States so their children could have the opportunity to realize our dreams. Every day I think about the hardships they went through and it pushes me, and makes me a better scientist. The challenges I experienced at a young age sparked my initial interest in medicine, but later influenced my decision to pursue MD/PhD. As a child frequently

Combined BA/MD programs are often singularly focused with an intense pace and rigorous coursework. In my eyes, they are beauteous opportunities, suitable for both my skills and my goals. Being part of a combined medicine program would not only provide me with the motivation to continue challenging myself, but also offer me the freedom to explore my other interests, and in turn receive a more well-rounded foundation for specialist medical training.

If I am accepted to the Illinois Math and Science Academy, I would be so honored and grateful. I look forward to the hands-on curricular offered at IMSA. I wish to be well prepared for my future. I plan on using the opportunities given to take initiative, explore my curiosities, step outside my comfort zone, take charge of what I’m doing with confidence, think for myself, work on different challenges, and build my independence.

What do working in a jail, knee surgery, and obtaining a local government job in Davidson County have in common? For me, each has played a role in the journey of my career. My journey has led me to a juncture, where in order to reach my potential, I plan to pursue an advanced degree. After outlining my career to date, I will explain my rationale behind the pursuit of an MPA degree, and discuss why Appalachian State’s program, specifically, appeals to me.
