My Philosophy Statement Jessica Baise

A career in healthcare has always been an interest of mine. Making a difference is someone?s health was a special aspect of my career choice. Dental Hygiene has been top of the list since I was a younger child. I was one of those children who loved going to the dentist. I was always intrigued by what was going on in the dentist office, whether it be the dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant. Becoming a young adult and noticing the appearance of others, the smile was and still is the first thing I notice on another individual. Everyone does not have the beautiful smile that society expects; so being the one to improve that and make a difference I feel is an awesome career choice.

My current career interest is to become an orthodontist. This job career is something I wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I am a hard working, sociable, persistent individual that will pursue every challenge that is placed in front of me in order to achieve excellence and success. This career choice is also one that follows an individual for the remainder of their life. Once a dental student earns their degree and has finished all of their schooling, they are out in the world, ready to begin their work. They don't normally decide to take time off and come back to their profession. They have the luxury of doing dentistry up until retirement so they might as well take advantage of that. Dentist will always be in high demand going forward. I believe this job would be something that I could take great pride in every day.

Dentistry appeals to me as it combines a high level of patient interaction with the chance to use practical skills and scientific understanding in order to improve people's oral health being not only mentally stimulating but also practically challenging. As a dentist I will be able to make a positive contribution to my local community, and as a genuine caring person with the determination to thrive in my studies.

I made the decision to join the health care field based on my own desire, love of the people that live and thrive around me, and to be a role model for my daughter. I feel it is important to have a goal in life, and it is important to me to show my daughter the value of goals, and achieving them as well. I love meeting new people, and being able to lend a helping hand in any way I possibly can. What better way to help the general population then to have a profession in the health care industry.

I volunteer at two agencies that serve the most vulnerable populations in DC in health related capacities. My experiences have caused me to made me consider a career in non profit dentistry that serves the poor. I have served as a Community Service chair of an organization called 1867 at Howard University; coordinating community service activities for our members. I currently intern working with kids under 5 in nutrition and health where I do nutrition evaluations and lessons. It is so important to use your skills to help others. After a year of working with vulnerable populations of children and young adults in my home state I think will know for sure if this what I want to do for this full time for my whole career in healthcare.

I decided to seek advice from my parents and they encouraged me to look into the healthcare field. I explored and researched a plethora of careers that pertained to healthcare, but the one career that intrigued me the most was the study of dentistry. The most intriguing part of this discipline was the fact that, except for flying, dentistry was very similar to being a fighter pilot. The correlation between the two careers was astonishing. The visual acumen, the ability to see beyond what is in front of you, and the precision needed in aviation were all qualities needed to perform dentistry. On top of that, I would be able to be around family and I would have a more stability in my career. So, even though I would not be flying a jet I knew I would be getting the opportunity to incorporate all the things that attracted me to aviation and use it in

From the time I was old enough to care for myself, assisting and tending to others needs was never a chore for me, it was a passion of mine. The feeling that overcame me after I put someone else that needed help before myself was uplifting. As I became older, I realized the medical field was the right path for my future. The medical field is such a diverse and open field with a significant amount of opportunities for advancement. The options for someone who is interested in the field are endless. The type of work that caught my eye was a nurse. The fast paced work and overall intensity of being a nurse intrigued me. However, once I started learning more about the different types of nurses, a nurse anesthetist excited me and is now the career

Health care professionals provide succor to people when they are at their most vulnerable and that benevolence cannot be underestimated. I chose to become a nurse because from the first time the pneuma, that breathe of life, wells up in a being to their last exhalation there is a need. As the baby boomer generation and others live longer; the demand for health care professionals will only become magnified. These people will need care and assistance to alleviate medical issues that arise with aging. Assisting in people's recovery from illness and being able to see them return back to their loved ones is immensely gratifying. All of us need help at some point and how appreciative are we when we receive solace from gentle hands and unselfish

Being a dentist is a troublesome task. Just by saying "dentist" doesn't imply that an individual is a good dentist. No doubt, every doctor, either he is a physician or orthopedic or a dentist, he will provide his patients with the superior health care. But, what he forgets is the proper management of the dental practice. Yes, it is equivalently significant to focus on various dental practice transitions. And, even, it will create the long-lasting impressions on your patients. This will exponentially increase the reputation of the dentists. Therefore, dental practice management is a "necessary" for the dentists, who wish to reach the next level so that they can perform better and more professionally.

It's really important to be in a health career in today's society, today's society is rough are economy is getting rough also pricing are becoming ridiculous high soon people that are working lower class jobs won't be able to afford to live so i find it important to be in a  health career because you're making a decent amount of money. In today's society people are continuously getting hurt not being careful with out doctors and nurses there would be no one to treat the hurting people.

The day I found out that I wanted a career in the health field was the day of my grandma’s accident. I remember the day very well as if it just happened when she got in a car accident. Once I ran to her and saw all the blood rushing down her legs I called 911 and they immediately answered and came to the scene. I witnessed everything from where they asked me questions until they got her up in the vehicle. They were serious about there job and I immediately thought about how cool it would be to work with them. This is why I applied to volunteer to this great opportunity to accomplish my goal.

I really enjoyed reading your responses to Shannon regarding quality versus quantity and productivity and profit. Being a patient care provider in a dental office myself, I can relate to the importance to focus on quality patient care as opposed to quantity for many reasons. One of the reasons why we should keep our focus on quality care is because we are licensed professionals and that makes us vulnerable to lawsuits if we are not careful. However, on the flip side, being an employee of a dental office frees me from paying large monthly or daily expenses by boss has to pay. So since I want to keep my position, I have to be mindful of productivity on a regular bases. Also, a profitable office will allow for more products or services

A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the

My father would always say because I loved to draw and help people as a child, “You are either going to become a world renown artist, or a nurse.” I chose the latter because who would not want to become a superhero who helps save civilian lives? Healthcare is a field that has many specialties like a diabetic nurse educator, midwife, or cardiac specialist. I chose diabetic care as my specialty

Dr. Thomas O’Leary, DDS, explains that in order to succeed, a dentist must genuinely care about his or her patients and their well beings. He believes that all dentists must see their role as helping and serving the community and that while the income aspect has its benefits, none of it has any value if the dentist has not helped his or her patient. Aside from the moral characteristics that dentists must posses in order to have a successful career, a dentist must also practice certain habits. One could describe a dentist as a meticulous person, a perfectionist, and a neat worker. Many tasks in dentistry require precision and perfected motor skills when working with small tools in the confined space of a mouth. Dr. O’Leary also believes that in general, dentists must have the willpower to work hard for what they want (O'Leary). If a dentist can excel in each of these areas, he or she will have a lucrative
