Md Gynaecologist Personal Statement

I have always had a high admiration for the impact that physicians have on families. At an early age, my younger sister had major heart surgery. Being four, I was too young to fully grasp what this meant for my family, but I quickly learned the grief my parents endured thinking their only daughter would not live past two. Dr. Jane Doe saved my sister, giving me a friend for life. I have set my goal to be like countless doctors who save lives daily and improve the quality

My first exposure to the healthcare field was in the United States Army, Medical Corps as a Healthcare Specialist (68W). This occupation is more well-known as a Combat Medic. My military occupational specialty (MOS) turned me into a proud healthcare provider and fostered an environment where I developed a passion for medicine and helping others. My experiences and training prepared me to provided treatment to patients and aiding the directing physician.

Physicians must be able to take a lot of responsibility. Fortunately, I have taken a lot of responsibility by being a role model for my little sister. As a young child, my little sister and I were always home alone due to my parents working double shifts every day. My mother dropped out of Baltimore City Community College in order to become a nurse; thus, she must work long hours in order to attain a sustainable amount of money. My father has a career as a database administrator. Since he attains such a high position at his job, he must be ready for on-call duty and work overtime. Additionally, I had to witness my older brother being kicked out of the house at the age of seven. This was such a traumatizing event, for my older brother was a perfect role model to me. Soon after, I realized that it was my responsibility to not only provide assistance and care for my little sister but to meet all the prerequisites necessary to successfully get accepted into prestigious educational

I am drawn to family medicine by this same appreciation for humanism that is evident to me among practitioners in this field. I am similarly motivated and excited by the intellectual challenges, scope, and meaningfulness offered by a career in family medicine. I strive to join a residency program that will provide rigorous clinical training among a diverse patient population while offering extensive resident responsibility for patient care. I believe that a family medicine residency program will inspire me to excel and arm me with the tools I need to achieve my future goals. Upon completion of residency, I aim to devote myself to serving the underserved while dedicating time to conducting research and participating in community and medical

From the beginning of time, doctors and medicine have been put up on a pedestal and greatly admired. They have given to the ones that are sick hope and a way to survive. So many of people have put all their money, faith, and hope into doctors, clinging to any chance that their disease or sickness can be cured. Parents wish for their children to grow up to be doctors one day. Our fascination with doctors stems from many reasons, but the main reason is that they have always been the ones to help us find a solution to our greatest fears, such as death, pain, and sickness. Throughout history doctors have accomplished many great wonders and cured many diseases

I envision the next ten years to be a time of intense personal growth. I will be building upon my strengths and improving my weaknesses. I hope to be fulfilling my goals and crossing things off of my bucket list. I hope to have the financial security to be able to help my mother retire, and help my younger brother to finish graduate school. I hope to be involved within my community, whether through volunteer work or a community-based organization. As for my career, I see myself working as a primary care physician. I am drawn to the long-term comprehensive care aspect of Internal Medicine and the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population in a variety of settings. This role aligns with my personal values in regards to health maintenance.

I was born in a farming family in a small town in southern India. My father worked in the agricultural field for thirty years.  He realized while he was working that his children should receive the best education as he had faced many problems due to his illiteracy. This motivated my father to give me the best education without which I couldn’t have come this far. When I finished  tenth grade, I had to choose either Mathematics or Biology and I opted for Biology as I had an affinity for science since my childhood. I always stood in the top ten of my class. I pursued my medical education at the distinguished institution, Guntur Medical College. I commenced medical school with the aim of becoming an internist.

This role does not only allow me to shadow doctors while they engage with patients, providing an opportunity to gain invaluable information and advises. This role requires most of my attention towards patients’ needs, which helps to establish a professional relationship and understand what they expect a doctor to be: caring and sensitive but decisive. As English is not my first language, my bilingual skills give me a chance to help some patients through being a translator. It is not the dream job anyone imagines, hours of sleepless shifts, tremendous responsibility with no room for errors as dealing with fragile lives and not products. This only further strengthens my decision to pursue medicine. What I most admire is how empathetic a doctor can be yet unaffected during a critical situation. It is more than just a skill; it is a talent.

My decision to pursue a career as a physician was not a blinding revelation, being the daughter of two immigrant parents the thought of becoming a physician seemed distant. In high school I pursued to obtain what for me was then the highest education I perceived I would be able to achieve which was going to college and obtaining a bachelor’s degree. As the quote by Ralph Ellison highlights, “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free”. This quote resonates with the start of my second year in college, as I have been able to find my passion for medicine. More specifically, I explored my values and how I wanted to shape my future. I reflected upon the encounters and dramatic effects that physicians have had with my own family. The most impactful

For as long as I could remember, I have seen my father rushing to the hospital in a white coat, answering pagers in the middle of important family conversations and attending night calls even in the most terrible weather. I had always wondered; what could be so important that it belittles every other responsibility in his life. It was only after many years of anguish and protests that it finally made sense to me. This defining moment of realization occurred when I first met a patient in his office. I saw how the gratitude in the patient’s eyes can provide a sense of fulfillment that triumphs all other feelings in the universe. It was human life that was most important. Being a doctor does not make you a mere healer but also gives you the responsibility of a caregiver. I had never felt more proud of my father and that was the day I felt the urge to relive this feeling many times over. It was there in that moment that I decided to pursue a career in medicine.

Picture opening up a box with over 1000 pieces belonging to a jigsaw puzzle, emptying the contents out on to a tabletop, and then being tasked with putting those pieces together to ultimately create a beautiful picture of the human anatomy. One can imagine the eye for detail, patience and thoroughness that would be required to complete such a task. As with any puzzle it is critical that the wider picture is envisioned at all times, as focusing on only one piece would effectively hinder any progress towards completion.

After I graduate, I want to work for the United States Geological Survey (USGS). I believe the thorough investigative work expected and performed at the USGS is vital to the integrity of the United States. Working for this incredible institute would allow me to uphold my life aspirations of environmental monitoring and protection to provide security from effects which threaten the natural landscape. With three semesters left before graduation, I am still unsure what field of study I am most passionate, ground water movement, subsurface imaging or natural hazard outlook, but the USGS is the place for me. This organization’s meticulous research responsibility warrants the best geologists and minds in the field. I will need further education, beyond undergraduate, to work for the USGS.

Growing up in a single parent household with a mother that was constantly sick and two younger siblings under my care, proved challenging for a premedical student. All my life, it has been my dream to become a physician and to be of service to people in need. I have done nothing else but devote all my time and effort in pursuit of this goal of becoming a physician.

Family physician, unlike other specialized physician, tends to everyone, regardless of age, sex, and their health conditions. This is one of the aspects that I like about the family physician occupation, because I would be able to take care of many people, not just only children, women, men, and the elderly. The diverse patient population feature also deals with my swaying curiosity, because I would not be bored easily. As a result of such feature, family physicians are able to create long-lasting relationship with their patients, because it is not necessary to change to different doctors because of age. For example, once a child becomes to old to have pediatric care,

It feels great being appreciated after the wonderful learning experience I had while training at Henry Ford Hospital. I would like to thank my teachers for creating an excellent learning environment so that we not only learnt to be good physicians but also, compassionate human beings. In the future that I see, my goal is to practice primary care/general medicine and to do a fellowship in sleep medicine to fulfill my research aptitude. I am also grateful to my parents, my father who taught me that to be a good physician, one must be both inquisitive and caring at the same time; my mother who has always supported me and pushed me to stay strong even in the most difficult of times. I thank you all for this honour and will make sure that I prove
