Pediatric Surgeon Personal Statement

Scientific work, I quickly came to realize, is humbling; it leads to introspection in its most fundamental form. My narrative is not one of defeat, but is rather one of ongoing failure. And this distinction is crucial to pinpoint: my mosquito bites are not signals of loss and finality, but are rather reminders that I am riding the constructive movement of scientific progress. It is only through the intellectual and ethical connections we form after learning from our many failures and building on occasional breakthroughs that we can understand the power of science and human collaboration. My growing number of personal failures, coupled with the knowledge of the long trajectory of my predecessors in their respective successes and failures, leave me with scars left from bug bites that have me constantly itching with a renewed faith in the scientific

I would like to go into the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner career field. Pediatric Nurse Practitioners help Pediatricians and other Physicians diagnose and take care of children from infancy to young adults. I have grown up with ten siblings and many more cousins, so I have learned how to deal with children of all ages. Also, I have been interested in the medical field since I was a little girl and I have always loved to help people. I would have liked to be a Pediatrician but I would prefere not be in school for another thirteen years, so I found that the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner was the perfect career for me.

My career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist and specialize in pediatrics. I want to specialize in pediatrics because I have always loved to be around children and be able to help them in whatever they need. Also, pediatrics is important to me because kids are our future and if I can help kids for their future I will be glad to do so. Helping kids become more independent on their activities of daily living makes me happy because I am helping them to become more independent and make them feel like they can accomplish anything. In order to be able to do this I have to get a Master Degree and I plan on getting this degree from Loma Linda University. In five years I see myself working in the Occupational Therapy setting and working with kids. I see myself, making others

I specifically wish to become a Pediatrician, the love and patience I have for children is insane. I love helping kids and working with them. Because of my medical class, I can become a medical assistant right after high school, but I really want to get a college degree and follow my dad’s steps.

Success is positive in which it comes with a great deal of recognition and pride, but negative in which “ Ultimately, if the researcher succeeds, a flood of colleagues will pave the roads over the path laid, and those roads will be orderly and straight, taking an investigator in minutes to a place the pioneer spent months or years looking for.” and, “the perfect tool will be available for purchase just as laboratory mice can now be ordered from supply houses.” Barry says, “ flood of colleagues” and “pave the roads over the path laid”, which is very a powerful metaphor that depicts after all of the hard work and courage scientist have to go through their peers will begin to use this experiment with no account for the scientist who created

The knowledge base for DXplain contains more than 65,000 relationships between diseases and patient descriptors (or clinical manifestations). The format for these relationships and the data structures are similar to the format and data structures used in the INTERNEST/QMR system except that in DXplain terms cannot only support a given diagnosis, but can also contradict other diagnoses. The relationships in DXplain are concerned with three different elements: 1) term importance, 2) term frequency and 3) term-evoking power. Term importance is used to express how significant the particular term is in indicating the presence of disease. A high term importance is given to findings that can be identified with high reliability or are rarely found

The National Institute of Health (NIH), in coordination with President Obama, has set out in 2015 to tackle these very challenges with their “Precision Medicine Plan”, where the NIH is seeking over one million volunteers to provide health related data for “genetic factors... also the role of environmental exposures and their impact on genetic predispositions”, among other goals. (Steenhuysen, 2015) This project in the growing field of precision medicine is now feasible with the recent developments in the field of both data quality and analysis coupled with leaps in computing power that can back it up. (Warshaw, 2015) The NIH plan, while

of clinical rotations will help me set a definite goal for my future. I know that I generally want to be in the surgery room, but I'm not entirely set on one career. At this point in my life, I would like to become an anesthesiologist because I like to concentrate on one thing and I would like to be in the surgery room, but my hands are too shaky to be a surgeon. I would like to attend Texas A&M University and major in biochemistry and minor in pre med, so that I could get into a medical school.

I have had a passion for becoming a healthcare provider for children for quite a while (for a long time). Children are one of the most important individuals of society because they are the future and will one day be in charge of the world. Their health at a young age is indicative to how their health will be as adults. Childhood has a great effect on how a person turns out to be so I hope to help children I hope to use prevention and education to preserve and restore the health of my patients. My career goals are to prevent children from having to spend time in hospitals or in pain and to help them live out their life and dreams to the fullest extent. Children play a very large role in their families, and when a child becomes sick, the whole family becomes distressed. Pediatricians not only heal children, but they help and prevent a family from suffering. I love medicine and children, and I hope to combine these two passions by becoming a pediatrician.

It wasn’t until previously from watching Grey’s Anatomy and Nip/Tuck that I realized I want to become a pediatric neurosurgeon. The fact that I would be able to help children while still focusing on the most precious parts of the body, the brain and spinal cord, really made me want to work harder in everything I do. I would be able to gain skills like patience and precision which I never had as a child would help me to mature into a better person as well as surgeon because the amount of accuracy I would search for in everything I

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, we have all been asked this question; and as unrealistic children, we all had dreams of being a superhero, princess, cowboy, or astronaut. Later on in life, as time went by, and as we became more knowledgeable, our answers became more serious. Some of us wanted to be teachers, business owners, or a veterinarian. However, I have always wanted to be a doctor, but not just any doctor. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, half way through my junior year in high school, I have started to question the details of this career, and all the hard work it takes to become a part of the medical field.

Algorithms are useful for clinicians because they provide a schematic visual that is presented in a multistep model to help in the diagnosis and

Following completion of these degrees, my goal is to work for a National or Global Health agency to gather and analyze data to bring positive change, nationally and globally. I hope to address the world’s most pressing health issues by conducting research grounded in vigorous and innovative analytical methods. I have had various data analysis experiences at multiple levels that demonstrate I have the capacity to apply innovative analytical techniques. Most notable is the competitive survey methodology fellowship I acquired at the National Center for Education Statistics. In this fellowship, I worked with big data to measure the adequacy of the world’s education systems (e.g. PISA,

I hope to possibly work for a sports team and or be employed at Kaiser as a sports or shoulder and ankle specialist. I have seen so many sports specialist, but every time I pay a visit I am fascinated with all the certain types of specialty doctors have. I want to be different from some doctors though. Instead of calling me Dr. Thai I would want people to address me as just Jason, for the reason I believe that titles create barriers. Ultimately, my biggest goal would to one day travel the world to third world countries to provide help to those in need. With the knowledge obtained from college, I could work with others to make the lives of other abroad a life worth living. I am not pursuing this career for the money, but for the reason that I may help those who may not even be able to afford doctors. My aspirations now were shaped by my favorite aunt. My aunt was a dentist who sacrificed time with her family to take care of mine. She would give everything to see my family happy. I remember she sang the song "My Heart Will Go On" as I played the song on my trumpet. She passed away a couple years ago, and I was unable to thank her for all she has done. When it is finally my turn to join her, I can finally tell her thank you. Her heart truly did go on, and I am ready to work hard to achieve my goals. For now I make progress day by

Choosing a career in medicine is my first career choice, and in many ways it is the only career choice I want. From professional athletes that we see on television, to the educators that have taught me and many others through the years, they all have committed themselves to extensive study. They have practiced countless of hours to master their individual skill set for their profession. I see myself following in the same footsteps, but as a pediatrician. I want to also master the skills that it takes to be a great doctor. It may not be simple and the outcome may not be near, but with extensive studying and practice I want to achieve and master the set of skills of pediatric diagnosis and eventually improve the medical process. This is my
