Nhs Personal Statement

As a teacher, I encourage my students to follow their passions and I would be remiss if I did not follow mine. At this time, I am ready to take purposeful steps toward those aspirations. Public Health, specifically health equity, is my passion. I aspire to implement culturally competent policies and programs that increase healthcare access for vulnerable people in developing countries. My commitment to creating equity in health systems and expanding access comes from academic, personal and professional experiences.

Public health is about empowering individuals as well as communities to live healthy, happy lives and reach their

Ultimately, USC’s broad curriculum in the MHA program combined with their focus of giving their students real-life exposure to health care organizations; will help me be better prepared to take on the public policy issues facing our health care sector today. The breadth of knowledge that I can gain from the MHA program will also help me become a health administrator that is able to balance the demands of the medical establishment (e.g., community clinic, hospital) and the needs of the population it caters to. From my education focusing on the relationships between people and institutions, work experience with special populations, and volunteerism, I have come to the realization that the issues facing our health sector don’t just fall upon physicians,

Why wouldn’t we all want to be public health leaders? It seems rather obvious to me that we should all want to make a difference; all want to lead healthier lifestyles, eradicate devastating illnesses, adopt preventative measures to protect our health, and implement impactful changes to our policies that facilitate access to proper healthcare. These are concepts that we all should all strive for, adopt, and have the right to, as citizens of the world. Therefore, the necessity to obtain my Master of Public Health (MPH) becomes almost evident and self-explanatory.

Soon after starting college, I learned that public health existed. I learned that one could address the health of a population through social, behavioral, and community interventions. I had never thought that was possible. And, the more I learned, the more I became interested. I began to see it as the link between my desire to become a physician and my passion for fighting poverty, disparity, hunger and disease. Public health was the career that I was looking for.

The vast spectrum of illnesses ranging from physical to psychological can potentially deprive us of the things we appreciate the most. Whilst it can be emotionally challenging to observe this in others, medicine cannot provide a cure for everything. Despite this, the insight I have gained into the positive impact that effective healthcare can have on people’s lives has informed me about the realities of medicine, which is a diverse and rewarding career to which I am committed to. I have spent a year volunteering in wards at a local hospital, which has developed my caring skills. Regular involvement in the care of patients with acute renal failure, whether this be helping them to eat or keeping them company for 3 hours a week, has demonstrated the vital need for holistic patient care.

By the time I had turned 18, I had already travelled to five countries and studied abroad in two, (Nigeria and Japan). During my travels I developed a curiosity in the well being of the people that I came in contact with. I began to notice that I was subconsciously comparing and contrasting the difference in healthcare people had and the possible reasons why some resources were not available to them when they should have been. It was then that I knew that I wanted to research and understand the causes, prevention, and control of human diseases. In order to make a difference in my own way, public health is where I want to be and my past experiences have encouraged me to pursue a career that pushes me to become creative, resilient, and dedicated to my community.

Public Health is the most representative of my career goals. Participating in the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP), I developed a better understanding and received first-hand exposure to health disparities. Also, while shadowing at a community clinic in Chicago, where many uninsured patients receive care at a low cost, I witnessed the relief in the patient’s faces as their health concerns were addressed. Their plights reminded me of some of my relatives. I believe everyone deserves adequate care in the United States and the health disparities and inequities that exist need to be further addressed. As the President of my school’s Minority Association of Pre-Med/Health Students (MAPS), I passionately seek to educate and promote

I am currently a freshman majoring in Biology at Washington University in St.Louis. I’m an passionate about learning, hard-working, and caring individual who has always loved being involved in the community and making a difference. As a person who has spent much time at the hospital from my concussions and asthma, I have realized the importance of having people who work at hospitals who go over and beyond the call of duty to make the patient and family feel at ease. Something as simple as having a smiling face at the reception desk can make all the difference. For this reason, I would love to get the opportunity to be a person who puts the patients first, seeks to improve the hospital brand and provides the best clinical treatments available

At Rutgers, I took two courses--public health preparedness and epidemiology--that captured my interest in public health. As I listened to experts speak intensively about effective communication with vulnerable population and ways to modify incidence, prevalence and mortality rates within the communities, I saw the possibilities of improving the quality of lives for many. My professors carried such genuine interest in educating us on various public health issues that by the end of the course, I was sure that I wanted to contribute in some how

The term “Public Health” describes how a society strives to keep the conditions of the public to be healthy to all individuals. The healthcare industry continues to change for the good of society, although the pedagogy in the universities that teaches our future healthcare professionals are lagging in their changes to the curriculum. There is a need to change our public health major to a population health major. Population health is not just policies and programs to keep public society healthy, it is an approach that looks at all the factors that can influence healthy individuals over the course of their lives. There are many benefits to this change. Students of University of Arkansas will benefit because this change will give our undergraduates the advantage to compete for the best healthcare careers in the industry. The University benefits are the promise of attracting more healthcare degree sought students and the potential to work together with healthcare businesses to shape the curriculum so that it is exactly what is needed. This change will cost the university professor’s time and research but the future outcome is notably leading the healthcare education in the right direction.

With my experiences through comprehensive biology and public health courses, as well as, personal experiences gained during my time spent with medical professionals has allowed me the insight to being the best health care professional I could be. Whether it be addressing public and finding ways to combat disease as a whole or accessing individuals providing them with the best personal care I can. I know that if there is a difference to be made in the health of my fellow human I can be the one to provide

Public Health is a broad field that offers many opportunities in the health field. I have always held a passion for the health field, and willingness to help people in need. My passion came about when I was in middle school and found out the tragic news of my grandfather being diagnosed with stage three esophageal cancer. He was quickly emitted into the ICU given 2 weeks to live. The nurses who were taking care of my grandfather were comforting, and brought ease to not only my grandfather but my whole family. They brought him comfort while providing health care for him, and being there to talk. This care brought upon my family and grandfather started my passion for the health field. While I am using my major of public health as a segway into nursing, I am retaining knowledge now that will not only be beneficial for me as a nursing student but as a working nurse in the field. Holding a passion for the care of others makes learning materials, like concepts taught in public health foundations class, seem less like a chore. When you enjoy the topic you retain the materials better; in return you are able to apply these concepts. There are varying levels, responsibilities, and jobs within the health field, however, there are a few concrete concepts/ theories that all professionals in the field need to apply, and stay true to. Before we can work with patients we need to understand the steps of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. We need to assess what stage the

My first introduction to the public health arena was in a course that I took in my medical school. I immediately knew that this is what I was looking for; the opportunity to help the entire community to improve their overall health. I loved working with a broad scope that public health addresses , promoting the health of the community, and preventing diseases instead of only treating individuals, so I fell in love with this course and thus decided to study public health. I was sure of my choice when I received the highest grade in this course; and I finished my first research paper and designed a patient education brochure describing

Before I reflect on my career path, I would like to reflect on my decision to major in Public Health. First and foremost, I have been reassured through my Public Health prerequisite classes that this is the major for me. Knowing I wanted to work in healthcare as political science no
