Personal Statement: Yale School Of Medicine

When my interest and desire to become a physician went underway during my Junior year of undergrad, I had the desire to attend a medical school that I would fit into well, obtain a great medical education, and enjoy the years that I would spend at the school. I wanted to find a school that I could use my diverse skills to improve not only the student body and community, but also my life by being at a school with a similar vision as I have for myself. When researching universities that would fit this mold I came across Morehouse School of Medicine. After researching the school's mission and goals, I felt that I fit into the mold of a diverse individual looking for a nurturing environment where I could gain an effective medical education. The

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 am confident that the University of Connecticut School of Medicine is a respectable medical school that can prepare me for my future professional career in medicine by providing exceptional opportunities for my medical education. My interest in this instution lies on its commitment for innovative medical education aiming to prepare its students for their medical career. Therefore, the medical curriculum of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, M delta, caught my eye when I was exploring medical schools to apply since it was unique and I was certain that it was an interesting way to learn medicine.

Being from rural Appalachia, I know that the inequalities in medicine are high and prevent many from seeking regular medical attention. Early in my life, I saw my friends, neighbors, and loved ones hesitate to seek medical attention due to economic reasons and the inability to access medical care.

The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum

Being the nation’s oldest medical school, UPenn has 250 years of experience in training physicians. With both a community service and a thesis requirement for its graduate, I feel that UPenn clearly recognize the foundementals of being a physician. UPenn introduces clinical experience early on before Clerkship. I really value that the LEAPP program allows me to have patient contact as early as my first year and to be involved in the long term care of a chronic ill patient. I think it’s very beneficial that as I am learning about pathophysiology I am also gaining clinical skills and see the human aspect of the disease. With scholarly pursuit, I have the opportunity to design my own research. In addition, I will be able to pursue certificate

I believe that the medical profession is an important and valuable career field and it is very important to the society. I have been fascinated by the workings of life and the complexity of the human body ever since I was young and this has strengthen my philanthropic approach to life, in that I could be trained to help people get better. This, I consider rewarding. I have hoped to develop excellent skills, such as research, communication, teamwork and problem solving. I believe this program will give me the opportunity to further improve these skills and have great chances at professionalism.

As I mentioned in my personal statement, I am in pursuit of a quality education and here, I share a few reasons why I believe the Yale School of Medicine will provide me with what I seek. Firstly, I am interested in the Yale School of Medicine because I will be groomed for success in my long-term goals at this institution. I believe this because the school’s mission involves educating and inspiring medical scholars as well as future leaders. As an aspiring physician, I do not plan to use the knowledge I will gain in medical school solely in my practice of medicine. I intend to also use that knowledge to pilot positive changes in the practice of obstetric medicine in Nigeria. Consequently, I know that attending this institution will not only teach me to be a scholar in the field of medicine but also a leader.

Tufts’ curriculum is a reflection of the kind of physician the University strives to produce, and the kind of doctor that I want to be. It is structured holistically, and utilizes all learning modalities in an effective manner. I love how students study a specific scientific component while learning about diseases that go hand-in-hand with that component, and subsequently meet with patients that have the diseases currently being studied. As a teacher, I admire the continuity of the curriculum. As a prospective student, I appreciate the University’s commitment to providing the highest quality of education possible.

When researching medical schools, one of the most important criteria I looked for was a medical school that prioritized serving underserved populations. Many of my experiences in college have helped me understand what type of physician I want to be. In combination with my courses, I knew that my life calling would revolve around alleviating health disparities as both a physician and a scholar. Therefore, when I considered the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, I was happy to see that the school understands its role in addressing this problem. Therefore, I immediately was attracted to Temple because I want to attend a medical school that inspires students like me to affect change.

For the longest time, the medical field has grown as a part of me. I have been inspired to become a physician since my dad has been a long time patient of type II diabetes and kidney failure. This affected me because as a little girl, I would watch after his health by monitoring what he eats, giving him his insulin shots, and making sure he stays actively up on his feet. My father was the first to detect my natural interest in medicine and taking care of others, so he always kept me involved. What started off as projects in science fairs, turned into knowledge seeking state-wide competitions. My hobby of taking care of other people became a two hour volunteering shift at my high school nurses office. I started attending summer camps that were competitive to get into, and now my major in college is what I will use to get me where I need to be. Although I want to be an Emergency Room Physician, the general ‘doctor guideline’ includes but isn’t limited to common courses in the Bachelor of Sciences (i.e; Chemistry, Biological sciences, Physics, Human genetics). 4-year undergraduate degree program, an addition four years in medical school and a variation of 2-7 years in residency and fellowship (usually split 4:3 years or less)— this varies depending on specialization. Before the admissions of medical school, the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken and a high score must be achieved.

As a student with aspirations of gaining acceptance to a Medical school and becoming a Physician, I yearn for an undergraduate program that will thoroughly prepare me for the difficulties I will face later on in my career and academic pursuits. Unfortunately, my current university is unable to provide the academic rigor, guidance, and opportunities I need to ensure my future success. During my high school college search I first came across Vassar College and immediately knew this school was the perfect fit for me.

I have chosen to apply to the Georgetown University School of Medicine because I feel that my experiences and goals closely align with Georgetown University’s mission and values. The Jesuit ideals are incredibly important to me, specifically cura personalis. Having already been immersed in the Jesuit traditions as an undergraduate at Loyola University Chicago, I have learned to look at life through the philanthropic lens of a Jesuit, and I have learned to become a person for others. Further, I have been humbled by my volunteering experiences and have discovered the importance of using my time and resources to help others who are not as fortunate. For example, while volunteering with Gentiva Hospice and spending time with patients who had minimal days left to live, I felt like I was giving back even if it was something small like sitting by their bedside holding their hand or offering words of encouragement. Seeing a patient smile or feel more comfortable after something I had done taught me the impact I can have, and how

Medicine is a vast field. I have taken various health science classes over the past three years that have given me a brief overview of medicine and physiology. However, I believe that a summer experience at Summer Ventures would allow me to gain a better understanding of science by immersing myself in research and other learning opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school I took AP Psychology to complement my schedule. I wasn’t very serious about the course in the beginning, but over time I found myself becoming really intrigued with the subject. Moreover, I have been left with a lasting desire to learn more about the brain and the human body. An opportunity to do research on a topic such as the health sciences would not only provide
