My Pre-MED Student Career Goals

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. There are a lot of health care professionals what have jobs that are extremely important. I have very high respect for anyone in the medical field, by becoming a doctor I would leave this world a better place.

I have been working in the medical field for six years, I am currently working I have been working in the medical office am in for four years and hoping to expand my experiences in the future. I have learn so much from Kaplan University and with these experiences I have faith that I will reach my goals in becoming successful. Just being yourself is the key and just know that when you are at that job interview give them a firm hand shake smell, and eye contact at all times and have your portfolio with your most important paper work that you will need for your job interview. Keep up the good

I chose to major in Pre-Professional Health Sciences because I want to become a medical scientist, conducting my own research. The reason behind this is not as straightforward as a simple desire for a medical career. Instead, my Dad’s passion and entrepreneurial attitude acted as a catalyst, triggering my longing to make my own medical breakthroughs. I was the kid with antiques and jewelry strewn all over the house because my Dad enjoyed buying collectibles to resell online. He eventually decided to make this hobby into a job because his adoration for hearing the stories associated with each item was worth more than any amount of money. In fact, my Dad’s ingenuity in starting his own company sparked my creativity and kindled the fire of my

My career goals consists of graduating from a four year college and applying to medical school, where I would continue my education to become a physician. Since the medical field consists of rigorous and tedious tasks, I need to further reinforce my critical and social skills. The LSAMP program offers workshops that can help me meet other like minded people all while reinforcing my critical thinking skills. Joining this program would benefit me greatly by exposing me to several social environments. These social environments can help me develop and strengthen my social skills; skills that would further prepare me for the strenuous challenge that accompanies medical school. Leadership skills are also crucial in becoming a physician, which is

Her last words to me was “Alright, it was nice meeting you”. This was the first and last time I met my Aunt Anne. The doctors diagnosed my aunt with multiple cancers, and she was told she would not make it past november and she made it into the following year, she died January of 2014. When my father told me she had died, I was a little heartbroken because I knew I could never see her again. After her funeral, that was when I truly decided I wanted to be a Surgeon. I don't like sitting, knowing someone is going to die in the near future, Yes, of course, I want to cure cancer, but who doesn’t, I more so want to try to help prevent it from spreading and stopping the tumor whenever and wherever I can. Besides from that I want to help people with any medical problem they may have, cancer or not.

Pre-Med with a minor in having fun (or being social) is how I would describe myself going into college. I intend to major in some sort of science in preparation for Med school, and also I plan to have a fun and not miss the full college experience. I thrive in an environment of people, one filled with much conversation and debating, so I hope to interact with many people around campus.

In today’s lecture Robin Maxwell with the Post-back Pre-Med Program came to speak with the class. She informed us of several key things pertaining to the Pre-Med and Pre-Health Program here at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). She opened with a matrix which in the center was GPA. Around GPA were Test Scores, Personal Statement, Interview, Hands-On-Experience, Letters of Reference, and lastly Extra-Curricular Activities. Robin informed the class that the matrix held the essential elements for entrance in today’s medical schools. For science majors such as Biology the GPA was placed along with a science GPA called the (BCPM). In the matrix she also pointed out how important it was for students to be well-rounded in their

My specific career path within medicine wasn’t always known until after extensive research and exposure which includes clinical/non- clinical volunteering, undergraduate student, research and working as an ER scribe. From these experiences I have been able to advance and develop my knowledge, skills and attributes. Through my ER scribe certification I have been able to personally observe the processes involved in determining a patient's care and their possible outcomes. The efforts made volunteering clinically were very important in developing additional communicative skills with a patient, thus developing a better diagnosis. The concept that structures a successful research are the fundamentals that apply to medicine, beginning with a theory,

American author and motivational speaker, Hilary Ziglar, is quoted for saying, “When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that's when passion is born.”

My career goals are broad and few; however, the success of these goals will bring great joy into the lives of people I know now and will come to meet later. My first career goal is simply to become a servant of the people because of my experiences at John Carroll. I learned at John Carroll that one should simply live like Christ, which I understand to mean as a servant for the marginalized and as a healer of all ailments, which is why I chose to go into the medical field, but just entering into the medical field will not be enough to fulfill my this career goal. Thus, I have decided to create a public health clinic in impoverished areas in order to reach those who are avoided and ignored by society. I also plan to help immigrants who are in

I have not yet decided on a specific major, but I would like to go into the medical field. I discovered I wanted to go into this field when I shadowed many medical professions such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and a speech pathologist. I shadowed these people for a total of sixteen hours, this was a very enlightening experience. Furthermore, this is when I truly knew which field I wanted to go into. I did not have a defining moment, I just knew that this career path was the right one for me. Furthering my education will assist me in reaching my goals of becoming a medical professional. Without proper schooling I can not obtain my goals

My interest in medicine began when I was ten years old when my grandfather was admitted to the intensive care unit of Condell Medical Center after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. Walking into his room I was shocked to see his face swollen and unrecognizable, his bald head, and his cough, loud and shallow followed by blood. Lots of blood. I had been too young to seriously consider a career choice for myself, let alone physician; however, sitting beside my grandfather, observing the various doctors and nurses compassion by trying to comfort my grandfather, my mother, and grandmother, nothing seemed more noble. Nothing seemed so natural.

Some experts say success is the result of an accumulated advantage, if this were true then my life has been an accumulated disadvantage, but I have triumph against all odds. I was born in adverse circumstances. I was compel to work from a young age. When I began to understand my surroundings I knew a college education was inconceivable.

“I am a nurse. I Am a nurse. I’m a Nurse!” I had finally made it to my career goal in life. As soon as I got licensed, I submitted my application to a few dialysis companies, more than several times, to increase my chances of getting my online application noticed. Sure enough, the hours and hours of applying day and night paid off and I began my journey as a hemodialysis (HD) nurse in 2015. I have been in this specialty for over two years now and I still get asked, “Why are you a dialysis nurse? It’s like a retirement nursing job. Isn’t it boring?”, “Don’t you want to get yourself involved in something else before you settle?”. Contrary to what others believe about hemodialysis nursing, this specialty has been one of the most fulfilling careers in my lifetime. See, in nursing, there is no settling and no specialty is easy. We deal with patients’ lives and they confide in us to take care of them like they are our own family.
