Pediatric Pathology Personal Statement

After at least 48 hours a final diagnosis is given to the patient all based off of using the Dichotomous Key, used to narrow down the search of the specimen on the suspected area of the body. This is an important procedure because there are organisms that must be identified in order to conduct certain tests on certain media to know its function.

Grace’s story should serve as proof that doctors should always run the correct tests to ensure that their patients are properly diagnosed before it is too late. A newspaper article provided a story about a young woman who suffered from a cancerous growth that was misdiagnosed many times. Her illness was not taken seriously by doctors who accused her of being young and naive, even though she had had the cancerous disease since she was eight. "Doctors were just dismissing me all the time," she said. "They were really patronizing and treated me

This position would be well suited for any qualified histology technician. Only certified histology technicians are able to handle, prepare, and process tissue specimens according to the Clinical Association of Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. All CAP-accredited laboratories must adhere to these guidelines in order to prevent loss of their accreditation.

As an adolescent, my enthusiasm for biology, knowledge, and assisting others attracted me to the medical field. The salary or glory does not appeal to me, since physicians must also commit to a grueling education, long work hours, and tremendous responsibilities. However, they bring optimism and joy to despairing patients. Doctors encounter mental challenges while diagnosing a patient, and immense satisfaction devising a solution. I intend to become a clinical geneticist, as I am inquisitive about genetics, particularly genetically inherited diseases. A

I took a moment to reach inside of myself and watch the anger as it continued to swirl through my body. I noticed my shoulders suddenly relax. Anger created a boundary and protected me from helplessness and hopelessness that would have made me feel like a victim. I had handled my health for the past thirty years and even though I felt momentarily defeated, I was not about to give up. No, I would not step out of my power and no; I would not have a biopsy done. Instinctively, I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that a biopsy would not lead to anything productive in this case. I would stand my ground and find other options. I would handle this in my own way. Again.

I like the approach internists have to the patient, attempting to diagnose using a sequence of physiopathology events and been as minimally

And to grasp how our systems work, I needed to have a deeper understanding of what they are made of, which is what biochemistry is all about- the chemistry of life. My interest in the human body started in fourth grade when I first learned about anatomy and the body systems. Until this day, I haven’t forgotten the names of the bones in the skeletal system. When I volunteered to translate and help out in a Medical Mission last summer in the Philippines, my interest in medicine grew. I knew I wanted to become a doctor, but this volunteer opportunity made me certain that the medical field was for me. It was fascinating to be involved in the discussion between the patient and the doctors since I was the one translating from English to Filipino and vice versa, and seeing how the doctors handle diagnoses and treatments was quite a learning experience. I’ve also taken Honors and Advanced Placement courses in Science and Math which also fueled my interest in my chosen field. Taking the AP Biology course really made me more aware and gave me a greater interest towards life and our human bodies. It’s mind-blowing to think about the complexity of our living systems and how we can be unaware of what is actually going on inside of us. This is precisely why I strive to become a doctor- I want to learn more about medicine and

a doctor talked to me. He pointed to the x-rays on the screen and asked me what I saw. Unfortunately, I hadn’t

Before attending Agnes Scott, I believed that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field as a doctor. During my high school years, I considered several different areas of medical practice and settled upon oncology due to my interest in the complex nature of cancer. I heard a lot about cancer growing up, but I never learned what it was or what mechanisms were being used to treat cancer. I chose to major in biochemistry to learn about cancer in multiple lights and understand cancer in its simplest forms. After taking different biology classes such as Biology 111, where I learned the different steps required for cancer to develop and the current methods being researched to treat cancer, I began to consider a career in

The prospect of diagnosing and treating led to a desire to do more. Participating on several cases during my IM clerkship at Emory Midtown Hospital, I quickly felt comfortable with a small caseload of simple cases. My preceptors noticed this and quickly threw me into “uncharted territory”

The ability to see things in black and white with ever evolving research horizon made Pathology very attractive for me as a prospective career. Attention to detail by use of various modern and advanced techniques enabled me to quench my intellectual

My goal is to succeed in this course and gain more knowledge about the disease that caused death to not only people in the world but important people in my life. I decided to research cancer because cancer took two people who meant the a lot to me. Who influenced me and shaped me into the person am I am today. Also I chose cancer because cancer is so common in united states. In the medical field the doctors that focus on cancer are Oncologists.

I am also interested in the sharing of that information with colleagues. All of this, of course if for the betterment of the patient. My time at the Department of Pathology at Hahnemann helped me choose the career of Pathologist.

Since childhood, I had a deep interest for the Health and Biological Sciences. My growing interest to learn about the life and living things helps me to obtain an in-depth understanding and the important contribution that a doctor makes to a society gets attracted me. It was from that point my interest in health sciences arose. I became more interested in knowing why a certain patient had got the disease, how it was spreading and what can be done to prevent the next person from getting the disease. This specialized knowledge in areas

There are times where specialists require some assistance in discovering the particular issues and states of their patients. At the point when specialists need to be certain about what their patients' conditions are, they take body liquid or tissue tests from them and forward these examples to the pathology advisors.
