Personal Statement: My Passion For Biomedical Engineering

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.

1. I have developed an interest in science during my high school career, and love watching new technology being created. I figure that I will most likely either continue on to medical school after I receive my undergraduate degree or try to work to design new technologies that will aid scientific research and study. Therefore, it was really a no-brainer for me to pursue various STEM related courses and subjects. In my opinion, the STEM field contributes to innovation and world progress more than any other fields. Without STEM fields, I most likely wouldn’t even be able to type this paper, or use the internet to submit my college application and scholarships. If the STEM field were to disappear, the world would stagnate. In order to prevent

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

I remember being awaken by the loud commotion going on from the living room, so I decided to go check. I went out calling for my parents, but to my surprise, I only saw my mom on the phone crying from the reflection of a mirror. I wondered where my dad was. I got closer towards the living room and stood by the wall. I witnessed my dad sitting down on the floor having trouble to breath complaining about chest pain while my mom stood next to him. I closed my eyes in fear. I then heard something calling me to open my eyes. It was a siren that got louder and louder each second. I stood up and saw red lights shining through the window. There was a knock at the door and my mom went to open the door. Two men and a woman came through the door in navy

The most progressive discoveries of all time have two elements in common: a component of critical thinking and a component of creativity. It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music.

I hope to gain a better perspective of what it takes to be in the medical field. I understand that the program allows us to observe patient care in the emergency department of Grady Hospital. I believe it’s an amazing opportunity to see all the obstacles in managing patient care first hand. There are many patients who are hit with a medical condition or disaster that have low incomes. With my family’s history of low income and the amount of medical conditions they had to face it would be great to have a better understanding of what they went through. Despite growing up and being exposed to the medical issues my family continuously faced I never truly understood what any of the procedures or how the hospitals worked. Being able to talk with

I already know that I don't have the funds to make it through all the schooling it takes to be in the medical field. So my investment is not in terms of money, more so in time, concentration, and deep commitment. Just looking to my desired future I can tell it’s gonna take more than just time, concentration and deep commitment to make it.

The decision to apply for a master’s program at the esteemed, Case Western Reserve University comes from a great passion to pursue research and personally contribute to the field of Biomedical Engineering. With the field’s innovative approach to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine, it has given answers to many of the pressing problems of healthcare system; nevertheless there are many challenges yet to overcome. For someone who has an avid desire to enrich her knowledge on advances in medical technology and do something resourceful for society, Biomedical engineering fits well to my ambition. Being an interdisciplinary field, Biomedical Engineering offers an endless array of choices. However, the areas that I find most intriguing are Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials and Drug Delivery Systems.

I’m interested in a career in the medical field and health care services, but I am undecided whether I want to practice medicine or go into medical research. With this program, I explore the research side of the medical field. Since I was young, I have been fascinated by the seemingly endless possibilities in genetics and stem cells, but more specifically, their application to the human body. Studying the countless diseases and birth defects, genetic therapies and manipulation of stem cells reveals the endless potential to improve health care. From treating predisposition to diseases and cancer to growing new organs, the fields of genetics and stem cells is growing quickly, and I want to join and help advance them.

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.

I am eager to study biomedical engineering at UW-Madison. For as long as I can remember, I have had a strong interest in science, math, and medicine. Over a few years, I considered different ideas about what I wanted to study, but none of them seemed to be an ideal fit. Eventually, I realized I was interested in applying science to solve problems, and I began to look at engineering. At that point, I decided that biomedical engineering was a perfect combination of my interests.

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.

I strongly believe that unquenchable thirst for knowledge is the key to growth and success in any field. I am an inquisitive learner and my goal is to keep learning to gather knowledge in the diverse field called Biomedical Engineering and contribute to positive growth of the field and society. My devotion, perseverance, sincerity and hard work are a perfect concoction to guide me in the path of achieving my goal. Certainly, pursuing a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering is my next step to reach my ambition.
