My Parents With The Needy And Underserved People Of Her Community

As a young child, I witnessed underserved communities in India and America that truly needed health care, but were deprived of it, due to high poverty. I was a casualty of this situation when I moved to America. I lived in a neighborhood that was poor, and there was a lack of proper healthcare, especially if one did not have health insurance. The neighborhood had only one hospital in its vicinity, and the wait hours were long. My experiences were never pleasant, for the staff and doctors were often rude. These experiences made me realize that my passion for helping would be most helpful in a health care career. However, I knew that if I were to become a doctor, I had to maintain my grades, as it is a highly competitive field. This desire to become a doctor led me to take classes at a community college while attending high school.

During the summer of 2015, I interned at a local doctor’s office. My passion for working in the medical field grew tremendously. I absolutely loved the experience I received and I also got offered a job after the internship was completed. Even though I was unable to accept the job offer because of furthering my education and because of my current job, I knew my hard work and dedication had paid off. I believe my education and the experience I received has provided me with a phenomenal introduction to the heath care field.

While interning in the Children's Clinic, I had the incredible opportunity to go and visit the NICU. This program had also introduced me how to write a medical research paper. Mini med school gave me a lot of informative information everyday by health professions which they discussed about the ongoing medical issues and other problems like drug use and criminal issues our community is facing. I have also taken classes in High School such as Ap Biology, Ap chemistry, and AP Psychology that exposes me to everyday medical terminology that health professionals use. Information offered by these classes made it easier to communicate and understand doctors.I have taken every opportunity to better prepare myself to the challenges of the medical field. During the internship, I mainly focused on the nursing branch, I shadowed nurse practitioners and registered nurses in action and how they handled medical issues and was also given the opportunity to learn and ask about their challenges in nursing school and how they had overcome it. I was able to learn about the responsibilities and special skills required to be a nurse and received advices from the nurses on how to be successful in nursing school. I have also been self studying Human Physiology and Anatomy. Its the medical field that best describes me. I love to give back to my

My internship experience at the South Central Family Health Center has been amazing. After this week I will have completed one month at my internship and the knowledge and experience I’ve been able to gain has helped me develop tremendously, both professionally and personally. Among the various things that I’ve been able to do at the clinic include, assisting in the implementation of the new patient portal (NEXTGEN), work on creating various projects with the IT department (e.g., helping prepare for the implementation of ICD-10), taking a lead in the planning of the clinic’s summer health festival, shadowing various physician, and assisting the prenatal department with numerous administrative tasks. Indeed, I have had a lot on my plate this past few weeks, but the exposure and information I’ve been able learn about the current status of community health centers in urban areas has been substantial and crucial in my development. With these new found knowledge about the different careers possible within the health care industry and the duties and responsibilities that accompany them, I have been able to expand on my options upon graduation and simultaneously narrow them down to those that I find most intriguing.

I was raised in a third world country where only few people living in major cities had access to health care, whereas the majority residing in suburbs and rural areas struggled to find a doctor. I believe that health care should be accessible to everyone regardless of his or her place of residence. I chose Morehouse College of Medicine because its mission resonates with my goals of serving the underserved populations and improving the well-beings of disadvantaged communities. Morehouse is a leading medical school in the nation in community engagement and public service. Its mission and vision intersects with the core values that I have been striving to implement and achieve since the moment I decided to become a doctor. Serving the community through education, volunteering, and community involvement are things I have been working on throughout my

The experience taught me to work hard to achieve my goal of becoming a doctor and helping as many people as I can. It taught me not to waste my time. All of my dedication has pushed me to be the best person I can be so in the future I can feel confident about all of my choices. Volunteering at Children’s Hospital offered me an experience that pushed me to strive for no less than excellence. By volunteering, I watched my dreams and ambitions get closer, and although the process is a slow and difficult one, every second of it was worth it because I was able to watch everything I value become

Over the years of medical practice, I always enjoyed my role as an internist, in every level of my capacity. The broad scope of the field increased my interest and curiosity, and I feel myself more motivated and responsible for learning the art of diagnosis, evaluation and management of the patients in the most effective ways to make their lives better. This strong desire encourages me to choose the field of internal medicine as my career, with the vision to empower the ailing with knowledge and serve deprives in the community. The field of medicine demands devoted study life and endless practice to be a good clinician. The clinical evidences and guidelines are continuously changing for the betterment of patient care and to decrease the morbidity and mortality.

This interest evolved into a career goal as I recognized the role of internist as a detective, academic, team player, and compassionate physician. During my rotation in internal medicine and clerkship in cardiology, nephrology, and intensive care unit. I was impressed by the knowledge, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based practice of physicians trained in internal medicine. I discovered tremendous satisfaction in being with patients at the bedside, the challenge of managing multiple problems and keeping up with watch individual’s health maintenance, and privilege of participating in long-term care. During these rotations I discovered a love for teaching whether clarifying a test result for a patient pointing out interesting physical exam finding or discussing the art of case presentations with junior medical students, I find great satisfaction in sharing knowledge with

Internal medicine physicians provide compassionate care across the spectrum from optimal health to complex illness. They are specially trained to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. In fact, internists are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.

It is the intellectual challenge every day and the opportunity to provide continuous care for the patients that make internal medicine extremely appealing to me. I believe that with the knowledge that internal medicine residency would provide me with; I could address the patient’s emotional needs as well as their medical needs. I have been inspired by my attending during my rotations. I rotated for two months with him, during which I realized that in spite of the limited time he had, he always took the time to explain and give support to his patients. He had to manage inpatients as well as ICU patients simultaneously, but he always knew how to manage the patients and support their families in addition to teaching us.

Internal medicine offers the opportunity of clinical practice in a wide variety of clinical settings (communitarian medicine to inpatient in hospital facilities). There is also an innumerable opportunities for fellowships to subspecialize and research opportunities.

Many years ago, my mom brought home a personal computer to help my sister with her computer science course. One day, the computer crashed and stopped working. I have always been a curious person and love solving problems, so naturally I wanted to know what exactly went wrong. Having no previous experience with computers, this was a new challenge, and I was excited about it. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem and to rule out the possibilities; I was focused and determined and wouldn't budge from my place until it was fixed. Finally, I managed to fix the problem. I find internal medicine not too different from my experience with computers. Internists are exposed to a diversity of patients with problems ranging from simple to complex, which requires the same qualities like focus, dedication and determination to solve these problems. No other specialty offers such a vast array of learning opportunities and challenges; the learning process

As my internship at Tufts Floating Hospital came to an end this week, I reflected on my internship as a whole. Although there were days that I did not look forward to going to the hospital, I always tried to go in with a smile, which clearly reflected in my supervisor’s evaluation. My entire internship was not exactly what I expected. I went in thinking that there would be a lot of busy work, but I did not think about the size of the hospital. Tufts Medical Center is smaller than Children’s Hospital, which is also located in Boston. This means that many more children end up at Children’s Hospital rather than Tufts Floating Hospital, thus creating slower working days. This internship allowed me to learn therapeutic skills for children, which

During my practicum semester at East Carolina University (ECU), I began to search for internship sites for my final semester at ECU. During my search, I knew that I wanted to work with children and/or work in a hospital setting. I looked for sites in both North Carolina and Virginia, my home state. After serious considerations, I decided to move out of North Carolina and return to Virginia. I decided to complete my intern at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Behavioral Health (8B). Completing my internship at a local hospital in Virginia gave me a sense of pride; it was rewarding knowing that I worked with families within my community, Hampton Roads. SNG provided an opportunity that allowed me to experience working with patients that were

The love for Internal Medicine comes from the lesson learnt in childhood that once the right time is gone it doesn’t come back. Out of all the
