Nevada Medical Clinic: A Case Study

My interest in medicine first stemmed from my freshman Biology class and my Nutrition class. I was intrigued by our studies of cells, genetics, and disease. Both courses incited a sense of awe and curiosity within me. Dissecting a frog, was the stepping-stone for my interest in medicine. Seeing the frog's heart made me wonder how the human heart worked. My research into the human heart inspired me to learn more about the medical field. I sought out volunteer opportunities that would give me insight into a doctor’s typical day. During my volunteer experience, I learned that as a doctor you experience many obstacles, including patient compliance and insurance approval issues. In my journey to pursue medicine, I learned that becoming a doctor means more than helping people, it means being the team leader, being compassionate, and most importantly being committed to the patient’s well being.

These include, but are not limited to, taking patient vitals manually and electronically (blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, temperature, high and weight). I have experience in performing pregnancy tests, glucose tests, Strep tests, Flu tests as well as collecting and testing urine and feces. I have also had the practice of patient safety as well as safety for myself and my co-workers. I learned the importance of proper documentation and how it is crucial to a practice.

My time spent teaching forced me to adapt to new situations, creating solutions instead of giving up. Working in a pharmacy and my research experience allowed me a more hands on approach and working as part of a team and gaining exposure to many sides of medicine and interaction with patients. Shadowing doctors and others showed me a more personal side to treatment and that treating the patient is as important as the connection with the patient. These experiences have given me the insight and inspiration to treat and educate future patients while furthering my pursuit for continued learning of the

However, many people have helped shape the course of my life to this point and I intend to maintain the characteristics that I have worked to develop.
