Personal Statement For Medical Physics

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.

When I think of medicine I think of diversity. The medical field contains a multiplicity of individuals, culture, and exchange; exposure to the Guatemalan culture offers a plethora of experience that allows me to build on personal growth, educational enhancements, and the opportunity to make a difference. The availability of this program through the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine is a blessing as well as a prayer answered for the prospect to experience the world beyond the borders of the United Stares.

At a time when it was popular practice for kids growing up in my country to aspire to become doctors, lawyers and engineers, for no rational reasons owing to naiveté that comes with such tender ages, I had known I wanted to save lives. I just didn’t know in what capacity it would be. I can safely say that I grew up faster than most children my age, I had known what it meant to lose a father at six, I had seen an aunt die of what they said was cancer at ten. I had also known the frustration of not being able to do anything to save both. And of course, I couldn’t have. I am a grown man now, equipped with the rationality that comes with education, and most importantly the informed will to save the world. And I have found an important tool in Medical Physics.

This note is very important, because radiation is a very dangerous thing and you have to make sure you know the steps and for what you’re doing. Never take a risk.

I am committed to study Paramedic Science BSc (Hons) at university as I believe I possess an array of qualities which are vital to working on the frontline emergency services in the NHS. I would sum up and describe myself as very energetic and enthusiastic individual who has the ability to work independently or as part of a team in order to achieve my personal goals. I have very strong analytical skills and can work in any sort of circumstance despite change as I am very flexible. Through my studying I gained some vital skills which can be interpreted in the role of a paramedic such as working in groups to carry out practical laboratory activities and having the ability to deliver a coherent presentation to a group of people. I am very attentive

As there is alack of consensus as to what fitness to practise encompasses the authors described the need for the study and that is clearly shown in the literature review. This makes a good introduction as said an introduction should sate the aim of the research. The authors have gathered information from a variety of sources such as the Medical Radiation Practise Board of Australia and the General Medical Council which makes their information more reliable as it is from a credible source. The fact that they have also used references from different media e.g. books and journals also increases the validity of the article.

I am interested in joining the Medical Professions Academy, because I believe it would be a great experience. This program will give me the inside look of what being a doctor is like that high school would not provide for me. I have been interested in going into a medical profession for a few years and I think MPA will help me decide where I want to go with it. While I may go a different route I think MPA will give me something I can't find at my high school. I was really interested in the hands on learning portion and believe it will help me with my future occupation. I am excited for the opportunity to joint MPA next year.

Should the radiation level be determined to be harmful, the reactor will be surrounded by material in

Working in the medical field has always been one of my top long term goals. As a child, I started volunteering at different nursing homes passing out ice and eventually when I graduated from high school I was able to become a worker at one of the nursing homes I volunteered at. Last February , I was in and out of the hospital taking care of my aunt , who passed away with cancer. I would take notes for my aunt if she wasn't alert to hear the nurses or doctors comments. When my aunt was alert I would read the comments to her & she would breakdown the information so that I could have a better understanding. My aunt had her masters in nursing, which means she was a well educated women and knew most of the information the nurses and doctors would

The idea of applying engineering principles to medicine to resolve patient-life inconveniences has always held a fascination for me. The first thought of doing biomedical engineering was inspired by a blind man crossing road with a walking stick, finding his ways through a crowd near the college. Possibility of him restoring sight intrigues me to look into the current treatments for blind people. From conventional walking stick to Brainport V100, stem cells treatment and the invention of bionic eyes recently, I was convinced that regaining sight is no longer impossible for majority of blind people. A further research on bionic eyes mechanism gave me a full comprehension on how retina be stimulated electrically in responding to visual input by electrical device implant.

I intend to study Medical Laboratory Science at South Dakota State University. My goal is to acquire my bachelor’s degree by completing four years in that program to earn a degree that would allow me to find a high paying career. An additional perk to my career path would be the fact that Medical Laboratory Science positions are highly in demand in South Dakota. I do plan to live and work in South Dakota after I graduate. I wish to gain a lot of experience out of this education, and gain the ability to help save lives by diagnosing and researching in a medical setting. Pursuing a college education would gain me a vast array of different career opportunities if I found that Medical Laboratory Science wasn’t for me, along with greatly increasing

I have been searching for a career that will integrate with my degree in biology. I do not want to be in a situation where I would be constantly working at a desk. What excites me the most in medical technology, is being able to apply my knowledge to more advanced methodologies and instrumentation. During my time working in organic chemistry research, I worked with a few elementary instruments such as rotary evaporators, columns and vacuum distillation glassware. Although this may not give me an encompassing view of what is to be required of me in this program, my appeal with the few instruments sparked my interest. I want to work in a field where I have a hands on approach with my knowledge. After researching the requirements of a medical

In 2007, it is predicted that almost 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States (Pickle et al., 2007). More than half of these cancer patients will undergo the use of radiation as a means for treating cancer at some point during the course of their disease (Perez and Brady, 1998). Cancer, a disease caused by an uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells, affects millions of people around the world. Radiotherapy is one of the well known various methods used to treat cancer, where high powered rays are aimed directly at the tumor from the outside of the body as external radiation or an instrument is surgically placed inside the body producing a result of internal radiation. Radiation is delivered to the cancerous regions of the body to damage and destroy the cells in that area, terminating the rapid growth and division of the cells. Radiation therapy has been used by medicine as a treatment for cancer from the beginning of the twentieth century, with its earliest beginnings coming from the discovery of x-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen. With the advancements in physics and computer programming, radiation had greatly evolved towards the end of the twentieth century and made the radiation treatment more effective. Radiation therapy is a curative treatment approach for cancer because it is successful in killing cancerous tumor cells and stop them from regenerating.

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.

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.
