Personal Statement: Engaging In Biomedical Science

Going off to college, I hope to pursue a major in biology and gain more experience in research labs. I want to explore different genes within various organisms and learn about their intersectional functions. I hope to understand how to enhance or reduce a gene’s expression in order to repress diseases within the human body. After college I will go to medical school and obtain my Doctor of Medicine degree and later pursue a PhD. In the future, I hope to open a research clinic that allows scientists from diverse fields to work together and develop cures for different diseases.

“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.

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

Starting at a young age, it has been my heart’s desire to help and care for people. Due to this strong urge I find a career in the medical field most appealing. More specifically, I would like to enter the field of pediatrics because of an overwhelming want and need to

My ambition in life is to be a Physician Scientist, someone at the fore front of medical innovation particularly in the field of Neuroscience. An accelerated 7-year combined BS-MD program is an apt choice for my goals and ambitions. After having gone through almost two years in college and having taken part in various clinical and research experiences, I have lost any doubts others my age might have in my goal of being a physician in academic medicine in the future; with my lack of indecisiveness comes my decision to aim for the BS-MD program.

Must have experience working with electronic health records. Strong organization, time management, analytical/problem solving skills and knowledge of medical terminology. Self-directed with the ability to prioritize and work with little or minimum supervision. Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite and computer knowledge to complete online learning requirements for job-specific competencies, access online forms and policies, and database input requirements.

Ability to perform basic clerical duties and operation of standard office equipment, including: scanner, fax machine, and copier. Demonstrated competence with computers and ability to type

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.

In High School, I was able to take 12 credits of science courses and expand my love for the area. I plan on majoring in Biology at IUPUI or IU, and continuing on to graduate school. A passion for medical research, especially with cells, has resided in my heart, and I hope to obtain some internship opportunities through the IU School of Medicine at IUPUI. After graduate school, I plan on going into medical residency to become a trauma surgeon, and hopefully do surgical research as

I am so blessed to have parents that have invested so much into me and my educational endeavors. Much of the reason why I’ve dedicated myself to diligently working toward academic success is due to their commitment to providing all they can for me. I am currently majoring in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and a minor in Biology. I’ve chosen to concentrate on these two fields because they are the foundation of the Biomedical sciences. In addition to my studies, I have recently joined the NIH-funded Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity (IMSD) in biomedical research. Through this program, I am able to conduct research alongside a professor in the Pharmaceutical Department at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical Campus. With my mentor, Dr. da Rocha, I investigate the use of nano-materials to help chemotherapies more specifically target cancer cells in the body which would maximize their efficacy and lessen their toxic adverse symptoms. Hopefully, with my continued involvement in research, by the time I graduate I will have some of my work published in a biomedical research journal. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, the ideal next step would be to go on to a graduate program for either an MD or a PhD. My ultimate goal is to put my skills and knowledge toward making my community a healthier place to live.

My academic interest is geared towards pursuing a master degree in the field of biomedical informatics with a view to becoming a problem solver and a major contributor to new discoveries in the field. I would like to pursue a career in research, development and teaching of methodologies, processes and tools that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information flow as well as usage in the healthcare setting. I would like the output of my work and research to have significant influence towards improving patient care outcomes whilst reducing information costs in the entire healthcare system.

When I completed the medical school, I was fascinated by the medical research. This fascination led me to select the specialty of immunology. This specialty offered the opportunity of preparing me in medical research without dissociating myself from patient care. In the years as a resident I got important tools such as: the statistical processing of the information collected, and the ability to interpret in an efficient manner the results of research studies. On the other hand, it allowed me increase my knowledge which gave me a greater understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms of many diseases. On having concluded the immunology residence, I began to work on the Institute of Hematology and Immunology, where I could combine the medical research, teaching and patient care for four years.

It is my hope to eventually become a prosperous biomedical engineer. Even within biomedical engineering there are many distinct fields, and I am most interested in rehabilitation biomedical engineering. I would like to be somewhere where I can help those with disabilities to become proficient in anything they aspire to do; Additionally, I would like to be a part of the design process, although I have an interest in research as well.

Next, science is the light that keeps us out of the dark ages. If science did not evolve, we would have many unanswered questions related to real life, die with terrifying diseases, and starve without hygiene and nutritious food. Because science has an impact on every aspect of our lives, I am eager in exploring this immense field of study and improve society through healthcare. When it comes to STEM field and school, on top of maintaining good GPA and grades, I devote my time well to my extracurriculars. Starting 7th grade, my passion for opting the medical field has strengthened due to my influential pediatrician. This enhanced drastically as I started gaining many volunteering and shadowing experiences throughout high school. As a freshman, I started taking advantage of majority of the opportunities around me like joining HOSA (Health Occupations Students Of America), Steminism, NHS, UPMC Passavant, Senior Living Facility. Covering a wide range of areas in healthcare-- volunteering/shadowing a geriatrician, pharmacist, nurse, surgeon and more-- solidified my aspiration. However, when I think about the medical field, clinical is not the only side. Research plays a huge role in medicine because without this, we would have inadequate knowledge about science and also would not have access to all these sophisticated treatments. Bayer School Scholars Program is a great opportunity for students like me to

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.

A B.S. in Biomedical Sciences will help me achieve my long term academic and career goals by providing me the necessary skills to fully understand the function and structure of the human body. Also, not only to understand, but to comprehend how diseases manifest. Biomedical research is vital for survival in this world, for instance, the world would degrade if biomedical research is not conducted. If biomedical research would not exist, many deadly microbes wouldn’t be identified, and the risks of the microbes growing and reproducing will be high. Also, another consequence would be that there will be no vaccines which means the cures or treatments of diseases will not exist. I’m passionate about looking for new science discoveries that could
