Marshall Scholarship Analysis

FlexMed will afford me the opportunity to gain more theoretical and practical skills in global health and health policies and enhance my future career as a doctor devoted to the quality of healthcare in the developing world. Should I be selected for the FlexMed program, I would change my major to Public Policy Analysis/Biology, a special major that would offer me the opportunity to intern at a local public health institution during the fall semester of senior year. I hope to focus on the health issues of underserved populations in LA and develop projects with MEDLIFE Claremont to address the issues. In addition, I plan to learn Thai and go back to Thailand during a summer to start a health education program in the school I volunteered with last summer. The program would primarily focus on sexually transmitted diseases in response to the new rise in HIV/AIDS cases among young people in Thailand. Because of the flexibility the program offers, I am also interested in studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark as a junior to study the health system in Northern Europe.

The invaluable skills that I have gained and learned through my after school clubs, Future Business Leaders of America, (FBLA) and National Honor Society( NHS), has stirred up a desire in me to help my community and to make a difference in the lives of people, by majoring in the Public Health field. Through Public Health, I will help those in my community at large to live healthy lives; mentally, socially, physically and culturally. Healthcare is an essential need in life and is a great field that would allow me to make a difference.

The healthcare sector offers a variety of professional opportunities that include pediatric, geriatrics, public policy and many other areas in which I hope to make a impact towards. I have always been intrigued by medicine and continue to gain more interest in public health. In the future, I desire to combine both medicine and public health by participating in an MD and MPH program. My experiences and education provide me with constant motivation in achieving my goals.

While interacting with current medical students pursuing the MD/MPH dual degree at a UTHSCSA student panel, I realized that obtaining an MPH would align greatly with my interests and career goals, allowing me to expand the scope of my medical education and enhance my critical thinking skills. I enjoy how public health combines various aspects needed to treat disease and improve health outcomes, and I know that integrating the MPH core concepts with my medical degree, will help me to become a well-rounded and better physician who approaches healthcare through both an individual and population-based perspective. An education in public health will provide me with various opportunities ranging from the creation and development of community health projects, to contributing to the modification of current health policies. I will seize the opportunity to work with professionals from all occupations including educators, clinicians, executives, and I will become an advocate and a credible voice for positive change through a better understanding of the healthcare system that is in place

Besides growing up in Colorado and considering this state my home I’m interested in RVUCOM because of the unique educational opportunities it provides to its students. In particular, I’m hoping to study in the Global Medicine Honors Track because I am interested in developing and furthering healthcare infrastructure in places like India, a country that is close to my heart. As the world becomes even more interconnected and easier to travel around, it’s highly conceivable to serve both the Front Range and places across the globe with the same high quality care. My superordinate goal in this area is to help develop cost-effective education programs and preventative methods that work well and improve quality of life irrespective of geography and

“Germany attempts domination of Europe.” The president reads the paper with a worried expression. Just as the chief of staff, Henry Marshall, walks into the oval office he asks the president to see him in a top-secret meeting with Charles north, Thomas Adams, and Peter Lewis. “Mr. President,” Henry begins, "these men are former criminals that have that are the masterminds behind the biggest crimes in the united states but they now no longer desire money but want to do something good for the world.” Henry goes on saying that they are the perfect people to be sent to Germany on a top secret mission to recover the agent codenamed “Wolf.” Roosevelt’s worried face gave the impression that he didn’t approve; he said, “Why send these untrustworthy

Location and emphasis on serving both the local and global communities is what sparked my initial interest in the MD Program at Georgetown School of Medicine. Washington, D.C. offers a culturally diverse patient population as well as a political environment, being a great place for the future and innovation in healthcare and health policy. Although learning more about the curriculum and programs at Georgetown School of Medicine, my interest was peaked by the health justice scholar track. Ever since my freshman year of college and my trip to Lima, Peru through Medlife, I have had an interest in health advocacy. Many of the conditions we saw could simply be treated but due to lack of very basic healthcare their conditions worsened. In addition,

While I have not been directly involved in the work of PHM before, I have been involved in the health activism activities. From organising workshops on Mental Health & Stigma and Drug Abuse in local communities and schools to organising a conference on Zika to working in the UK Health Forum on the project on built environment, aimed to illustrate how people around the globe made their communities a healthier, happier place. I am currently pursuing degree in Global Health and aim to also obtain master’s in public administration and policy, as I always wanted to contribute to a change towards “a world in which a healthy life for all is a reality”,

It is important to recognise that public health problems are complex and can be vast in magnitude. By nature health affects all populations, and therefore health leadership and management must consider chain reactions into economic and social problems, as well as direct health outcomes.

Kerry James Marshall is an American artist whose artwork depict African Americans. Based on the characteristic of his artworks, he can be considered as a Romantic artist. Looking at his artwork, I could see how he placed more emphasis on colors rather than sharp lines. In some of his artworks, the viewer is able to see the paint drips and brushstrokes which are an important characteristic of Romantic art. In Neoclassical artworks, lines are viewed more important than colors and brush. Thus, more emphasis is placed on lines compared to color and brush. In addition to that, a Neoclassical artist would always try to avoid brushstrokes and make the lines straight and sharp. Also, his artworks can be categorized as subjective since the message behind the artworks

I have always been aware of global issues and needing to understand what is happening in the world has always been important to me. However, I never understood global concerns through a health paradigm. Many of the concepts presented in this course were not new to me, as I have been an active participant in global issues and organizations, such as Spread the Net Campaign to end malaria, as well as many different human rights causes. However, the new insight I gained was in regards to

My interest for public health stems from the need to aid numerous people in disease and injury prevention, health protection, and strategies for health promotion. I hope to earn a Master of Public Health with a focus in the area of health care management as well as hospital administration in relation to public health policy development and education. I aspire to develop enhanced intervention policies that can provide the population with direct access to primary health care due to public health preparedness education and strategic planning.

After finishing my Undergraduate, I have seen it wise to purse masters in public health, an area that I have much interest in. Having pursed a Bachelor of Science, Biological Sciences, minor in psychology, expanding my knowledge in the field of public health has been my next option. The vast knowledge that I have gained learning and working can help me while pursuing this program. Given the chance I would be able to fulfill my career goals.

I was drawn to the idea of not only focusing on one-on-one patient care that doctors provide, but also solving problems that affect the health of entire populations. The study of disease and health within populations; for instance, preventing disease, promoting health, and reducing health problems between groups are the main reasons I want to pursue an M.P.H focusing on epidemiology. These are my strongest interests because I believe they are important in improving our world’s health.
