Have you applied to any medical schools?
If you answered "Yes" to either one of the questions above and would like to elaborate, please comment below:
During the summer of my junior year and early fall of my senior year in college, I took the MCAT and applied to a few medical schools. However, I was naive about the medical school application process, and ill-prepared to take the MCAT.

Working in a hospital in Ghana enhanced my resolve for a career as a physician primarily because the experience exposed me to socio-economic factors that gravely hinder access to healthcare in under-served populations. However, this experience held a more personal meaning because my interactions with the patients who constantly endure these challenges illuminated to me the extent of the conditions in which I grew up in Ghana.

My relationship with music is a personal and evolving one that has, for much of my life, shaped my identity and perspective. Amidst my accomplishments as a pianist and composer, music holds a deeper meaning to me due to its function as both a means of self-expression, and experiencing the abstract thoughts of others. I was born into music, and at an early age, found any opportunity to sit at a piano to be instantly gratifying. As I matured in my musicianship,

If a doctor is unavailable and it is an emergency the physician assistant or PAs can talk over the phone with a doctor.

Music is something I have always been passionate about. During my years of musical training, I have learned universal truths about music that I have come to love and enjoy. These universal truths help define me as a musician and all seem to revolve around a central theme: Music is not a thing but an experience.

At present I am applying out of cycle from my graduation year. Immediately after graduation from medical school, I enrolled at Tulane University School of Medicine to pursue a Master’s in Clinical Research where I completed a 6 month research clerkship in trauma and critical care. Additionally, I have remained active in the clinical setting, completing a 3 month outpatient family medicine clerkship and a 3 month primary care and medicine clerkship. My drive to become a physician has seen many hills and valleys, but I am hardworking and determined to succeed as a resident physician. Particularly, I hope to have an overall medical residency education, rather than just focus on one area; this will allow me to take care of an entire family as they grow, from caring for a mother throughout her pregnancy, to performing minor clinical procedures, delivering babies, and finally to caring for an aging grandparent mainly in a medically underserved community.
