Making A Battery Operated Toy Car

My interest in medicine first stemmed from my freshman Biology class and my Nutrition class. I was intrigued by our studies of cells, genetics, and disease. Both courses incited a sense of awe and curiosity within me. Dissecting a frog, was the stepping-stone for my interest in medicine. Seeing the frog's heart made me wonder how the human heart worked. My research into the human heart inspired me to learn more about the medical field. I sought out volunteer opportunities that would give me insight into a doctor’s typical day. During my volunteer experience, I learned that as a doctor you experience many obstacles, including patient compliance and insurance approval issues. In my journey to pursue medicine, I learned that becoming a doctor means more than helping people, it means being the team leader, being compassionate, and most importantly being committed to the patient’s well being.

Hospitality and knowledge are two major reasons why the medical field intrigues me. I love helping those in need and that’s what the medical field is all about. As a child, one of my life goals was to have a major impact in someone's life. I will have the blessing and honor to save people's lives in this field as an emergency physician. Nothing will make me happier than knowing I did all I can to

Ever since I was a child, when people asked me which profession interested me most, I used to say “I would like to be a detective”. I would say that because I knew my inherent ability to solve complex problems. Internal medicine is a complex broad field and the spectrum of diseases seen in this specialty fascinated me.

As I began my medical education my interests had piqued; however, my true passion was ignited when I discovered the stimulating environment of internal medicine. Foremost, with the aid of an exceptional physician preceptor, I discovered that managing a wide variety of pathologies within a varied population is the ideal way to develop a broad clinical knowledge. Additionally, I found that I enjoyed the ‘hands-on’ component that comes with the privilege of performing procedures and resuscitation. Finally, I discovered that managing patients holistically, through collaboration and coordination, is the best way to facilitate excellent patient outcomes. It was after these discoveries that I decided to further my pursuit of a career in internal medicine.

I further supported my studies in biology and my interest of assisting the needy by volunteering at my hometown’s emergency room. While I did find that working at the emergency room constantly catered to my passion for knowledge about medicine, it was my trustworthy and compassionate nature that allowed me a heightened ability to interact with patients in a reliable and effective manner. I continued my desire by shadowing physicians in the many different departments of the hospital. However, since the marvels of the heart always left me in wonder, I found myself drawn into the life of a cardiologist. While shadowing him in his private practice, I had the chance to appreciate the responsibilities, commitment, and satisfaction of a career in

My journey toward achieving my passion of providing high quality compassionate care to patients has been an amazing time in my life; I married my wife, moved to New York, and started PA school. I was thrilled about my experiences in the ED as a scribe, but I promised myself to keep an open mind about all the medical specialties while in PA school; however, it quickly became clear that I had already found my passion. As time went on, I would regularly think of the excitement and fascinating medical cases seen on my emergency medicine rotation.

To say that this incident was the defining moment as to why I chose medicine would be an exaggeration, but it had undoubtedly been an affirmation of my decision. To embark on a career in Medicine was not an easy decision, and it was certainly not something that I had aspired to be from a young age. In fact, it took nearly half a decade of careful consideration and exploration before I reached this conclusion. My motivation to become a doctor stems not only from my love for science, but also from the special connection that is established between a patient and a doctor during diagnosis and consultation. The opportunity for devoting a lifetime to alleviating illnesses stands as my inspiration. I believe that there is no other profession that can be compared to one which utilizes one’s acquired abilities to bring about a more immediate impact on someone’s life, just as this experience had

My long journey to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor has provided me with the opportunity to balance my passion for science with my eagerness to provide care to those in need. My desire to reach this dream has and will continually fuel my passion for a field that I love and this desire is reinforced with every rewarding opportunity I experience as a healer, a thinker, and a friend. My interest toward internal medicine started growing during my clinical years when I had the opportunity to rotate through many different specialties. I have observed each to have its own unique commendable approach to healing. Nevertheless, what echoed through my mind and heart was "internists are the ones whom people think of when the need calls."

I embrace the search for the effective, mutual beneficial relationships within medicine that aims to improve the lives of patients and fellow physicians to uncover the body’s complexities that are not always apparent through pure medical intervention. It’s not an endeavor that can be done with haste. Only with deliberate focus and care can I learn how to hone a person’s tale to their own telling and maintain their wellbeing. I look forward to the

I envision myself working in an academic setting while practicing internal medicine. I have always been interested in relating the body systems to each other and treating illness in the context of the person. Through my experiences, I have found that I also enjoy mentoring others about their health, although I am always excited to teach my trainees about medical terms or topics we encounter while in the emergency department. However, I am also thoroughly interested in conducting clinical research that seeks to continuously improve the quality of care that is provided. Therefore, I look forward to working with patients and other health professionals while allotting equal time to teaching and conducting research.

I seek a residency in internal medicine because it values the role of teamwork in providing better care, and greater hope, for patients. I look forward to training in a field that aims to understand community needs through compassion, thrives on team-based solutions to problems, and cares for life through its last

My interest in medicine began as a childhood passion for science. In medical school, I was initially drawn to Neurology as I found the nervous system particularly fascinating, but quickly learned that I desired something more hands-on. I then thought Emergency Medicine would be well-suited to my desire for a procedural specialty involved in high-acuity critical care, but continued to have an unsettling feeling that something was lacking.

Those experiences kindled my desire to engage in providing healthcare to the underserved population, and in addition to that, I decided to volunteer my time in health clinics set up in small towns all over Chicago over the last 3 years. Internal medicine is justly the place where I can experience the permanency of care and build relationships with patients of all ages. I am also currently learning Spanish from Triton College because I had so many patients throughout my clinical years that could not speak English. I recently completed 2 months of General Spanish, and I am in my second month of Medical Spanish because I want to have a good doctor-patient relationship with my Spanish-speaking patients. I have also taken a special interest in activities that emphasizes on the well-being of others such as managing health-care for people in retirement homes, and especially, providing emotional support to people who have children or relatives with disabilities.

“I would buy skates for myself instead!” I said these words when my friends approached me to make some contribution for the gift they were going to buy for one of my pal recovering from nephrotic syndrome. Later that week we went to see him (visualize) and he was so surprised to see all of us and was happy when he received a gift. He said (feeling) to me, “Thank you that is an amazing car I ever had”. I said (feeling), “Sorry I made no contribution to that gift.” He still thanked me for stopping by. I had a feeling of guilt and that inspired me to give him something to make him happy from my side. As days passed I observed one of my friend making a battery operated car and that inspired me to make one. I started making car so that I can give

I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.
