My Specific Career Path In Medicine

When challenged as to why I would want to pursue a career in medicine, my response includes an acknowledgement of the realities of an intensely stressful and academically rigorous profession, but also a recognition of the rewards that come with having the ability to make a real difference to peoples’ lives. We depend on medicine in our weakest times and seek strength in those who dedicate themselves to research, prevention and treatment and I believe I have both the compassion and motivation to make a positive contribution.

“Excuse me ma’am I think you need your medicine, let me listen to your heart beat,” that’s what I use to say to my dolls. I have always had a passion for caring for others. I knew I would be in the medical field. My goal when I was a child was to become a pediatrician, but my past, present, and future has had numerous unexpected ups and downs.

My career goal begins with receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology on a pre-med track. I am currently three years in to receiving my degree as an undergraduate student at The Ohio State University. During the process of receiving my B.A., I will participate in internship programs pertaining to my area of study. I have currently applied for a research internship through the Ohio Department of Health, who are in high demand for pre-med students. If I am accepted to the program I will need transportation to and from the different sites. I currently do not have a car since I live on campus and will apply for a car loan through the credit union to ensure that I am able to afford a cost efficient car, which will last me well past graduation.

My work in a research study involving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest opened my eyes to how discovering new medical knowledge can change how treatment is given, and can have a lasting impact on patient outcomes. Therefore, I plan to participate in clinical research during my medical school career.

As research will always be an integral part of the future of medicine, I hope to contribute by conducting meaningful research as a physician. My work in a research study involving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest opened my eyes to how discovering new medical knowledge can change how treatment is given, and can have a lasting impact on patient outcomes. Consequently, I hope to participate in clinical research during my medical school career. I believe I will have ample opportunities to pursue research at Georgetown University through the Independent Scholarly Project and various research projects requiring student participation, ultimately providing me the background knowledge for my future

Much of my time as an undergrad has been focused on conducting basic scientific research. Thoroughly enjoying this facet of my education, I find myself drawn to investigating unexplained phenomena. I plan to make research a major component of my medical career. Interdisciplinary teamwork is vital to the success of research, especially in the biomedical field. Therefore, access to research-centric hospitals and departments open to collaboration would be inherent in the location of my practice. Investigations with results that could prove practical towards my patients at the bedside would be of greatest interest to me. This interplay between research and clinical treatment will be one of the grounds that that my career will be structured around.

During an online personality test to match careers I was matched to numerous career fields based on my score. I chose the career path of a Preventive Medicine Physician because it seemed to match a lot of the personality traits I already have rather than what the test scored me to have. Preventive Medicine Physicians promote health care to communities, aid in the prevention or reduction of risk of disease, injury, disability, or death. I will need to be knowledge able in medicine and dentistry, therapy and counseling and know laws and information about the government regarding health care. Being in this profession I will need to be able to communicate well as well as listening to understand what people say, be able to make general rules or come up

Knowing that I really did not want to pursue clinical medicine as I originally planned, my thoughts really wandered to the area of clinical research. I was encouraged by a colleague medical doctor and senior safety manager in the pharmaceutical industry to pursue a career in research as it definitely suited my interests. I was certain that by obtaining some practical experience and working in a research environment to gain first-hand knowledge of what the responsibilities of a researcher entails, I could answer my questions and satisfy my curiosity.

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

If you were to ask those around me about my desire to be a physician, they would be able to tell you that I work extremely hard trying to find ways to strengthen my background in medicine. My previous healthcare experience includes shadowing, employment, and volunteer opportunities. For the last year, I have been working as a medical assistant, where I get to room patients, perform point of care tasks, and also shadow providers. While shadowing, I get to see tasks such as starting an IV, blood draw, physical examination, and suturing. My time shadowing has mostly been through my job but I also shadow a clinical Neurologist who has shown me many unique cases.

The world consist of millions of careers, in which provide a lifelong journey of progress in learning, work, and many other aspects of life. Personally, I have found that throughout my seventeen years of life, a career in the medical field would be highly gratifying. If given the ability to further my it education at the Wyoming Healthcare Careers Summer Camp, I may enhance my future capabilities in the medical field.

My reason for aspiring to go into the medical field came about through my family experiences. Growing up, and even now many of my family members have had to live a life in and out of the hospital, and unfortunately not all of them made it. Seeing the process of life slipping away, took a toll on me. It was then when I started wishing that there was something I could do to help them live just a longer. I was naive then because our time will come to claim us all one day, but I never ceased my desire to help people. Later on down the road my mom was diagnosed with diabetes and knowing the fate it gave my grandmother, who now is living a life in and out of the hospital, I couldn't bare to watch my mother have to go through it alone. I started asking
