Personal Statement

Currently, I am working for Home Life, which is a non-profit organization that assists people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am also conducting research at OSU on cartilage cryopreservation. After an arduous, yet enjoyable journey, I hope to travel to developing nations and assist those that are unfortunate, by providing knowledge regarding health and medical practices. Working hard in school and excelling in everything I pursue ties in with my long-term goal of becoming a doctor. This is due to the fact that attaining such a career requires self-determination, strength during times of agony, and resilience as well as reflection from every failure. Personally, preventing diseases and spreading awareness medically would be profoundly illuminating.

I knew that I loved to help people in need and I always felt that working in the medical field would be a great way to help me help others. I have been extremely interested in the world of medicine ever since. At first, I wanted to be a physician. I used to practice on my stuffed animals, teddy bears, and even my siblings! I used to pretend to give them diagnoses and prescribe fake medicine to them.

To become the Director of Operation management in cutting edge hospital or any corporation (i.e. Walgreens or any pharmaceutical company) and helping improve the lives of people around the nation and around the world. I will achieve this goal by completing my education and multiple internship and learning from the experts in the fields and extending current thinking into new health organizations.

My short-term goal is to use the knowledge and experiences I have acquired as an undergraduate, coupled with the competitive coursework of the biology department as a catalyst for positive change. My long-term goal is to direct a multicultural health program that assists low-income communities in becoming more knowledgeable of their healthcare options. I think that as an aspiring physician practicing osteopathic medicine, I would be in the position to positively impact socioeconomically disadvantaged communities.

Beginning in my sophomore year of High school, I fell in love with the idea of being able to help others through medicine. I found it so fascinating how dynamic and different every career in the medical field truly was and still is. However, I have always been attracted to a

I began my pediatric practices in my very own home, with my siblings and cousins. Many would consider it as just babysitting or even helping out but it is my passion. I am very much interested in catering to children needs including their health conditions and symptoms. My pediatric imagination will bud as I will apply the specific skills, knowledge, education and experiences to earn a Doctor of Medicine Degree in pediatric.

The field of medicine, more specifically pediatrics, has always enticed me. The concept of helping people has always been an interest of mine. When I was in the 3rd grade, at the age of 14 my brother passed away from the swine flu; it was one of the worst experiences in my life. Being only nine years old and losing my brother really left a mark on me; I’ve never felt so helpless before. Because of the hurt and pain I felt from his passing, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. My dream occupation hasn’t changed ever since.

Being apart of the underrepresented, minority group has taught me both the importance and value of quality care within a hospital setting. I share a strong passion for medicine, not only because saving lives is an important factor fueling an aspiring physician’s interest, but making a difference in the world and being apart of that change is what serves as a greater importance. Every day all across the world, a new disease arises, some of which are incurable, and causes the death of millions. However, many personal experiences have shown me repeatedly that I was born to be a doctor. For example, my partner suffered from a disease called scleroderma for several years and has undergone a clinical trial to battle this incurable disease. One day my partner died before my eyes, and certain instincts were activated within me that almost made me want to perform surgery on him to save his life.

My interest in Family medicine as a career started when I joined North West Armed forces hospital in Saudi Arabia. In the Family medicine department, I practiced medicine in an excellent environment. Working side by side with highly trained family physicians from different countries enriched my clinical skills and experience. I practiced evidence-based medicine, participated in guideline workshops, Peer reviews and numerous educational activities all around the year. Furthermore, Dealing with a wide variety of

My working experience with Dr. Sure has taught me that to exercise good clinical judgment required extensive study, practice, and endless hours of work. As a pediatrician, I will strive to make every effort to empower and educate my own patients with the knowledge that will give them control over there aliments. With each visit I hope that we can work together for a brighter and healthier tomorrow.

I decided very early in life that I wanted to become a medical doctor because I always felt the need to help people who were sick. People thought I did not have the brains for that, but my passion

During my summers in high school, I had the opportunity to shadow my grandfather at his pediatric endocrinology practice. My experiences there were influential in shaping my decision to pursue an education and career in medicine. Throughout the years, my grandfather taught me what it meant to be a doctor and the responsibilities a person takes on when treating people. When meeting with his patients, he would take the time to ask about their life, what kinds of events were coming up, their families, and hobbies. He got to know them as people first, before asking them about their health problems or what brought them into his office. I watched him explain exactly how he was going to treat his patients and how they would feel during even the most minor examination or procedure. He left lasting impressions on his patients, whether he saw them once or hundreds of times through the care he took in communicating with them — something I hope to continue into my future career.

Another part of the lessons I learned while confronting this family crisis is how I learned that high quality heath care is best provided by highly qualified doctors. I also learned that an unqualified doctor may easily misdiagnose a patient 's symptoms. The discussion below will show how I have learned to ask questions before selecting a pediatrician.

My desire to become a doctor originated during elementary school. As role-models, I had three older brothers who diligently worked through college, medical school, and now residency and fellowship. They frequently shared stories about their experiences at the hospital that ranged from patient interactions, to making diagnoses of rare pathologies, to life valuable lessons. Later, I had the privilege of shadowing
