Personal Reflection

Since I am a very hands on and visual learner; the surgical tech course offers variety of ways to learn because it requires me to have selective hearing and ability to see and touch organs. The course teaches me skills that are also required in other

Biology has always intrigued me; that is why I took advanced biology courses every year during high school. I chose cardiology in particular for medical school because cardiac diseases run in both sides of my family. I have seen my grandmothers get pushed into the emergency rooms and I thought they were not going

I have always had an interest in the human body and animal anatomy. I've studied it on my own with coloring books, online programs and thru home dissection kits. It is fascinating to learn the numerous ways our bodies function. I completed an anatomy and physiology course through our home school coop. I learned a lot of important information that will help me advance in my education and career.

As I began college, I decided not to choose a major at first. It was not until the beginning of this semester that I declared Biology as my major. I have always been interested in science, and it has always been one of my best subjects. Since I was little, my dream has been to become a doctor. As I have taken more classes, trying to weed out what I do and do not like, I have discovered that sciences are what interest me the most. Currently I have an emphasis in pre-professional studies which means that my major is leading me to attend a medical school after I graduate from Arkansas State University.

Currently, I am in the process of earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a pre-medical emphasis from Grand Canyon University. Upon graduation, I hope to attend either a medical or physician assistant school. My specific goal in the medical field is still up in the air, however, I am avidly exploring the fields of pathology, oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery. My interest in the medical field was sparked by my human anatomy and physiology class during my senior year of high school. Put simply, my life in high school was rough, and I was completely lost, as far as my career decisions were concerned. I enrolled in a human anatomy course, to fill a hole in my schedule during my senior

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

physiology, and so much more. It is a very competitve program that requires students to maintain a high GPA and outstansding grades in certian subjects.

During my four years at Brooklyn Technical High School, I was part of the Gateway to Medicine program. I was introduced to courses such as anatomy & physiology, organic chemistry, and biology. These extremely challenging classes piqued my interest to explore a future career in health care. The Gateway to Medicine program was multi-faceted, I went from dissecting cats to learning about spontaneous de-combustion. My guidance counselor also helped prepare me to choose a career in the medical profession.

medical field. Biology, my science of choice, always piqued my curiosity time after time. I was enamored with the

For my Health Science Exploration interview, I interviewed my mother, she is a Surgery Schedule. She went to Bryant and Stratton College for Applied Science in Medical Assisting. During this time she got her Associate's degree which took 2 years to complete with medical experience. Which means she worked in Doctors Offices, Patient First, and Hospitals to get her current job. Some of the classes she took were Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Medical Ethics. She told me that her favorite class was Anatomy and Physiology because she liked learning how the body works, why it works, and what each part of the body does.

If enrolled in the ATC Health Science Program, I desire to be knowledgeable and successful in a medical setting. After being in this course, I would love to strengthen my passion for medicine and possess a true understanding about patient care. I aspire to learn basic levels of diagnosis; learning symptoms and recognizing them in patients. Furthermore, the rotations of observing patient treatment helps set up a basic level of medical knowledge to the students. This would also increase the knowledge of a professional bedside manner, helping patients feel more comfortable in the hospital. The ATC Health Science Program would help me to become proficient in prescribing treatment after correct diagnosis. From this course I also hope to learn

I am a pre-medical student and my major is biological and physical sciences. My interest in science originated in medical school was for two reasons. The first reason

One of the most amazing moments of that class was the chance that I had to visit a human anatomy lab at a local college. There college students showed us the cadavers they had been working on, allowing us to see the human body up close and personal. I saw the difference between a smoker’s lung and a non-smoker’s lung, exactly how a knee replacement works, and other insights to the human body.

Several well-wishers suggested that I choose medicine or engineering and pursue in one of those fields since I had done biology

This program looks into teaching its students about the everyday functions of the human body and how the body reacts to physical activities over a short term and long-term period. I feel that studying under this program will give me the skills and learning experience that I need to fully understand the human body. Also to further acquire knowledge on how an individual’s habits, lifestyle, genetics, environment, living space, and working space can contribute to how healthy he or she is because I am looking for a career in medicine. This specialization provides me with the essentials that are required to apply to medical school such as biology, chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry, but still teaches the biological works of the human body and the movements of the human body in a daily setting and under the stress of physical activities. As a future medical professional I must fully understand how the human body functions, and how exercise will benefit my patients if I wish to provide the best possible
