My White Coat Experience

It is no secret that in order to be competitive for medical school, you must be a well-rounded student, have a superior GPA, and achieve a competitive MCAT score. I feel that a well-rounded student is composed of an individual who has the chance to experience an exchange of cultures within a community unfamiliar to one's own. The opportunity provided to me by the medical school not only allows me to aid the underserved populations via the promotion of health care, but the chance to exchange

There are countless reasons why I have chosen Xavier University of Louisiana. Xavier will guide me to exceed all of my expectations with plenty of effort, focus, and determination. One of my main reasons for coming to Xavier is the wonderful biology pre-med program. I know that Xavier's dedicated faculty has helped many African Americans attain their goals of completing medical school. Whether a professor teaches an essential concept or an academic advisor assists with application processes, Xavier has all of the resources I will need to go to medical school. Going into Xavier, my expectations include becoming an ideal candidate for medical school to become a dermatologist or pediatrician. I plan to meet this expectation through rigorous

When my interest and desire to become a physician went underway during my Junior year of undergrad, I had the desire to attend a medical school that I would fit into well, obtain a great medical education, and enjoy the years that I would spend at the school. I wanted to find a school that I could use my diverse skills to improve not only the student body and community, but also my life by being at a school with a similar vision as I have for myself. When researching universities that would fit this mold I came across Morehouse School of Medicine. After researching the school's mission and goals, I felt that I fit into the mold of a diverse individual looking for a nurturing environment where I could gain an effective medical education. The

I love the idea of providing students with a variety of opportunities that would satisfy each student's needs. Whether its research, volunteering and community service, it all is provided here. The curriculum also allows for a great amount of flexibility enabling students to pursue these other interest that would make them very competitive for residencies. I have a great interest in practicing in underserved communities upon graduation, therefore every opportunity I get to volunteer in clinics and shadow physician in underserved regions is something I look forward to here at Western University of Health Sciences. Likewise, the diverse student body is great as each student come from various backgrounds and have unique experiences all of which

The good thing in my experience would be that I got to have the experience of doing interviews and I actually enjoyed it. I also gained more confidence in interacting with my patients.

I continued to gain experience in health care. I worked at the student health center, creating and distributing relevant health related information, on campus and I worked as a home health aid. These college experiences enhanced my insight into the world of health care and provided me with greater excitement about becoming a health care provider.

Becoming a graduate student at Berry College will do more than just provide a Master’s degree; it will be an opportunity to develop my personal and professional aspirations. There is no other graduate program that has impressed me more than Berry College’s dedication to academic excellence, culture, and core values. It is evident that Berry desires to develop its graduates professionally, personally, and spiritually, whereas other programs I have researched are primarily concerned with professional advancement. Berry gives its students the guidance, comradeship, and support they need to develop into insightful clinicians and individuals.

Attending Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine’s would allow me to contribute to the mission of developing solutions to help residents of Washington. Whether it was developing innovative teaching methods in coaching or finding solutions to challenges faced in research, part of my personality is finding unique and innovative solutions to challenges I face. Through the school I would be able to work with rural medical offices and hospitals, in collaboration with the technology incubator, to develop technology that would make providing healthcare easier and more affordable.

When I was in seventh grade, I decided I wanted to graduate from Penn State as a forensic scientist. In eleventh grade, my teacher, Mr. Gould, knocked some sense into me and introduced me to medical laboratory science. I participated in a simulation lab tour at Wellspan and I shadowed the core lab for a day. The day I shadowed at Wellspan was the day I decided I wanted to graduate from your program. In hopes of being able to have a career there as well. The standards and behavior of the lab are held so high, I recommend everyone, with confidence, to Wellspan. I know everyone who walks through your doors will get nothing short than exceptional service. I want to be proud of the place I work, and I know for certain that I would be proud to say

The curriculum of the Med School encompasses many hands-on practices that are often neglected at other universities. These practices include the following skills: healthy policy, community service and engagement, and evidence based practice. I can build off my current knowledge of public health and can apply the social skills and knowledge I learned from my classmates and professors to connect with my patients and prosper in my career. I can also enrich my undergraduate experience by thoroughly exploring all of D.C.: the populations living in area, the outdoor life, and the social conditions of the people around

Rochester's Pre-College Programs will help make me better because the Mini Medical School would further my knowledge of medical careers. As a current high school junior I have explored multiple careers, but I came to a conclusion last year that I would like to be a pediatrician. Last year I participated in the STEP program at the University of Rochester to decide if a medical career was a good fit for me. STEP opened my eyes to all the qualifications needed for my choice career, and taught me how to work with others on medical subjects. As well as present to large groups of people, and working with others. I really enjoyed my summer at the STEP program, and received a scholarship into the Mini Medical School program. Even though I received

The opportunities that residents get to hone their clinical skills through a variety of clinical settings and excellent supervision, the broad approach that the program takes

Prior to entering the program, I will return to America after a year of working and traveling in Asia. I will be in search for any volunteer or shadowing opportunities that are available at local hospitals. In addition, I will contact volunteer programs that can enrich my medical knowledge base in the New York Area, such as NYC Free Clinic and Project Healthcare. I will also be preparing for the start of classes by familiarizing myself with the material. I understand the rigorousness of this program and these months before the beginning of the semester will be my time to focus for what is to come.

My goal is to find a school that fits me and allows me to build upon the foundation that I gained at Northside College Prep. When I visited the Cornell campus it immediately felt like a good fit for me. Attending Cornell will allow me to pursue biology and art, take rigorous classes, form bonds with professors, feel at home in a close-knit environment, and allow me to focus on one class at a time. I think Cornell will provide me with the tools that I need to realize my goal of being a doctor while still pursuing my love of art.
