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.
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.
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.
One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
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
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
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.

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
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.
Curiosity is a key aspect of engineers because they work on a variety of projects that requiring knowledge in a multitude of different disciplines. While I do not yet have a substantial understanding of biomedical engineering, the inquisitiveness required to excel in this field is shown in everything I do.
Bioscience has helped me to develop the urge to know the unknown which consequently led to the growth of my character. I completed my secondary education scoring a first division (80.03%) and this gave me the opportunity to select the subject of my preference and I choose biology as one of my main subjects and completed my higher secondary in 2010 scoring a first-class mark (77.4%).After my schooling I had decided to study further in bioscience field so I took zoology in BSc where I achieved a first division (69.25%) under Calcutta University. I then pursued MSc and took up Zoology to further my knowledge in the field. I have attended some significant seminars during that period and also worked in some projects like 'disorder in sex development'.
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
