Medical Advancement As A Medical Doctor

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.

Since high school I was mesmerized by the mystery of the human body. I always wanted to study the structure of the smallest cells. Nevertheless, my admiration for the noble work of doctors in helping people and relieving the suffering of others was one of my primary reasons for wanting to pursue a career in medicine. Being born in a family that has always encouraged utilizing our inherent gifts to the fullest extent, I have excelled in every academic venture I have undertaken. My ambition to become a competent physician culminated when I was selected in the top 200 among a 100,000 applicants to attend the best medical school in my country, the University of Khartoum. Oliver Twist always asks for

A physician must be well rounded in a variety of fields to provide effective care. First, an interest in learning scientific knowledge must be accompanied by the ability to translate that knowledge into methods of treatment. Because science is constantly changing and improving, a physician should be continuously expanding their scientific learning within and outside of their respective fields. Most of the coursework that I have taken reflects my interest in the intersection between biomedical science and its applications through an anthropological lens. For example, I have performed public

The more that we study the human body and learn more about it the greater our medical knowledge will become. Furthering the education of health and medicine benefits everyone. Without continuing the education of the human body the less we will accomplish. 100 years into the future medication will be a thing of the past. That’s why it’s important to learn about how the advancement of medicine, surgery, and technology have benefited our culture. Soon we will be able to say that we have the cure to alzheimer's, cancer, and

I became captivated by the opportunity to apply my knowledge of the biological and chemical sciences in a way that one day may save a life. Though my interest stems from my experiences, my passion to pursue this field lies elsewhere. Growing up in a family of low socioeconomic status in an area with few sources of acceptable health care, I saw my parents struggle as they aged to provide my siblings and I with a proper education. There were times they would ignore their own illness in order to save funds for an emergency for us. Observing this, I knew that no matter how difficult of a path I picked, regardless if it was pharmaceutical sciences or the medical field, my parents had concurred greater difficulties. Growing under such conditions, I began to realize the disparities in quality of treatments my parents received compared to those who of a higher socioeconomic status. This motivated me to pursue a career where I would be given the chance to offer care to individuals through unbiased views. Of course, there are a plethora of careers that can fulfill this but medicine has presented itself as very unique to me. It promises a lifestyle devoted to empathetic patient care, direct patient interaction, and a boundless opportunity to learn and experience something new. As the end of my undergraduate experience is forthcoming, I look forward to taking on the next phase of my life, endeavoring to join the ranks of tomorrow’s

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

There are many advancements in technology being made rapidly, and there soon may be a major change in the way we live our daily lives. In the medical field, many new things in technology are being tested to allow more affordable healthcare. With education, new ways of teaching are being used, and a more effective learning environment is in the process of development. Also, many new ways of transportation are being created to cut down on travel time. Lots of new technology is being created to enhance human life with more efficient tools and devices in mainly the fields of medicine, education, and transportation.

Hypothesis: With an established interest in understanding the world, I've always felt a pull towards studying medicine, which would enable me to better understand the world of the human body—the

Medicine is an expanding field that contains a variety of approaches to how it can be practiced. These ideals correspond to the Enlightenment in ways that help Doctor’s to think outside the box, further viewing a situation in a different light. This varying perspective

The goal of Accuwaves is to provide comfort, satisfaction and caring environment to patients through innovative approach.

In Botkin’s article on “The Seductive Beauty of Physiology”, he brings up major points and concerns that are relevant to the focus of medical education on science. In essence he contends that medical education shouldn’t only be focused on the sciences but should also teach other important aspects of doctors’ lives that are relevant to the practice of medicine.

The plurality of biomedical researchers and engineers dedicate their careers to testing the limits of technology and medicine on the human body. However, as innovations become increasingly provocative, the ethics of biomedical research has become quintessential to moving forward into the future of research. I aspire to become a biomedical engineer, but while many of my classes will teach me the raw skills to become an engineer, I feel that a tutorial with Hunter “Patch” Adams would allow me to delve into the ethics of biomedical research in medicine. Patch Adams has spent his life treating patients with an emphasis on their emotional well being, specifically utilizing humor as a complement to treatment. Throughout my life, I too have used humor

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” With these words, Socrates stated the creed of reflective men and women and set the task for ethics: to seek, with the help of reason, a consistent and defensible approach to life and its moral dilemmas (Walters 22). Ethical inquiry is important to us when we are unsure of the direction in which we are heading. “New philosophy calls all in doubt,” wrote John Donne in the wake of the Copernican Revolution and of Charles I’s violent death, suggesting that new thoughts had challenged old practices (Donne). Today, new practices in the biomedical sciences are challenging old thoughts: “New medicine calls all in doubt” (Walters 22).

Hope. By advancing well-grounded scientific knowledge to treat our human body, medicine brings hope. By applying that knowledge to treat a human body with a unique history and identity, doctors bring hope. "I 'm not simply listening to heart sounds. I 'm listening to a human being who has heart sounds." Dr. David De Marco exemplifies the kind of doctor and medical student I yearn to become. Why did I, an engineering-minded individual, choose medicine?

Growing up, I always felt a shiver go up my spine whenever I had to visit my doctor. Oddly enough, I still preferred doctors to dentists so in that regard I was not completely baffled when I first decided I wanted to become a physician. As an undergraduate, I found myself constantly switching between careers until finally coming down to two choices: scientist or veterinarian. However, the idea of being stuck in a lab with little interaction with the world or being unable to communicate with my patients never agreed with me. I wanted to enter a profession that allowed me to work with others on an interpersonal level and apply my knowledge of science, culture, and social relationships in order to enhance the lives of those around me. Unable of coming to a decision, I continued pursuing my love for science never once believing my fascination with science and medicine would lead me along this path. The catalysts for this change in my life’s trajectory were the events of the 2011 Arab Spring and the countless hours spent collecting and packing pages of listed medical supplies, medications, and equipment that were needed. What I discovered through my months of involvement was a love for helping others in need and a profession that allowed me to do so while actively engaging my mind and body to act in the aid of others.
