Physician Assistant Personal Statement

I want to be a part of Keiser University's Physician Assistant Program because it is one of the best in South Florida. I agree with its mission statements and goals. This 24-month curriculum will allow me to reach my goal of pursuing my career as a Physician Assistant, sooner than most programs. It is centrally located so that most students have a minimum commute of 15-20 minutes. I am impressed by Keiser's excellent reputation of job placement among graduating PA students. According to present students, this school has a low professor to student ratio. I am eager to participate in this type of learning environment. Also, I am happy to see that the PANCE rate has been improving as the program strives to prepare students for the national certification

As an acute care nurse practitioner I hope to utilize my experience as an Intensive Care Unit nurse along with clinical knowledge and skills acquired through a graduate level program to provide the highest quality patient care. In my current role, I place high value on patient-family centered care and advocacy as well as commitment to lifelong learning. I have built my nursing career upon these values. I am excited to begin the journey of becoming an acute care nurse practitioner and to further my education and expand my scope of practice in the field of critical care, for which I have already developed a passion.

I am applying to the MD/MPH program after experiencing four years of undergraduate coursework to receive a degree in public health. The coursework as an undergraduate greatly drew my interest to things such as epidemiology, microbiology, environmental health, and global health. I was introduced to the importance of population health and preventative care, as well as the social aspects of health and the disparities stratified across populations. I believe that the rigorous undergraduate coursework I completed exemplifies my competence in terms of public health and suitability as a candidate for an MPH. I also had opportunities to have real-world experience related to public health, more specifically I have worked as an infectious epidemiology

“Your optimism is killing me,” a patient replied after my attempt to encourage her to try to stand up, so she could attend a physical therapy session. Though I took her comment with a grain of salt, it was the cornerstone for the reputation I would build during my career as a Physical Therapist Assistant. Most clinicians shy away from challenging personalities; not me, I strive to be different. It’s been three years since that patient discharged home against medical advice. which ignited fuel to the fire of continuing to pursue my undergraduate degree.

After high school, I’d wish to pursue a degree as a physical therapist assistant. Ever since I was younger I always knew that I wanted to become a PTA or else an athletic trainer. Sports introduced me to physical therapy and physical therapy assistants. I’ve played sports ever since I was a little girl. I also got injured many times playing sports which led my to go to physical therapy. I’ve always thought that the body was so fascinating and always want to learn more about it. I participate in Health Occupations where I am able to actually go shadow a physical therapist and see what they do.

I did not know much about the health care field then but in that moment, I felt as if the health care system failed since the day he was born. This experience made me become eager to be a part of making a difference in the health care world. The lack of managed care caused the life of my nephew, and for this my passion for Science and the need of helping others only manifested because of my experience. My aspirations were to become a Registered Nurse and specialize in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In my early college years, I also became a part of the UCLA team through an internship program. UCLA Care Extenders allowed me to gain valuable knowledge.As an intern, I did clinical rotations and was able to discover what takes place behind closed doors. However, what lead me into

Science and medicine has always fascinated me and has been interesting to be since my education started as a child. All my cousins used to play video games, playing house, playing cards, but instead I always forced everyone on pretending my patients and me treating them and caring for them as a doctor. I also wanted my family members to act if they were sick and they needed help. As time passed, I no longer had to play as it was the reality now and they really now needed help. I have witnessed my family members, my grandmother who passed away due to heart attack at an early age, my other grandmother who currently is sick, my grandfather who passed away also due to heart attack.

I am interested in becoming a teaching assistant in the UTEP sociology and anthropology department partly due to my interest in, the undergraduate students I would be teaching, and my ability to connect to them. A TA can fill a vital role in reaching students who lack the social and culture capital to interact confidently with professors. I have the background, skill and experience to fill this role. As an undergraduate student in this department, I was an unofficial mentor to students who was new to the Women and Gender Studies department, as well as to a student who was new to the Sociology and Anthropology department. As someone who had initially lacked the social and cultural capital to effectively communicate with my advisor, I understood their need to connect with someone who would be able to offer them advice, and help them learn how to communicate with their professors/advisors.

Personal Statement I have been always goal oriented, upon my arrival to the United State of America, my first attempt to be enrolled into college, but due to my visa status I was not able to do that. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant on a Cardiology and Dementia Units of the hospital has shown me the many different aspects of working in the medical field. I have been able to come in contact with a variety of patients, with different purpose of life story. As I connected with some of the patients, I got the positive difference which I was making in their life.

I am interested in this program because it'll help me career wise and help me with personal growth. After I graduate high school I am planning on following the pre-med track as a major and this program would help me get a sense of what its going to be like as a pre-med student prior to me going to a college or universities, if I join their medical science track. In addition, although I want to study pre-medicine and science I haven't had much opportunities to study the different branches of sciences outside my school's curriculum, which is usual regents based and they only have 1 AP science class, AP environmental science which isn't the field I am interested in. Furthermore, I would like to join the program because they also focus on helping

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 write in pursuit of becoming a teaching assistant for EG-1003 beginning this fall. I seek this position wishing to further develop my skills in communication and collaboration. Furthermore, I would admire watching student creativity in action when they work in the labs and interacting with others when helping them solve problems. I believe my previous experience and personality enable me to be an effective teaching assistant.

I have always had a keen eye on medicine as a whole and not a specific specialty by itself. It has always been such a hassle when I am asked “What kind of specialization do I want to do?” ; I never had an answer for that, because I could never choose a single focus, and my goal became clear to me when I first did my three months of internal medicine clerkship. It was the very best, from the ICU and the wards to the clinics, ever since then, I have enjoyed every opportunity I got to be in the wards/clinic. Even before that, I enjoyed volunteering in concentration camps, where you get to see different types of population.

I am interested in any opportunity to shadow a medical practitioner during the summer. My motivation in studying human health has been growing since last year. For my personal project, I made a pop-up book for fourth and fifth graders about circulatory and respiratory system last year. I shadowed a surgeon for a day at Roskilde hospital on January this year. Since my volunteering trip to Kenya about two months ago, I am highly motivated in learning more about human sciences and health.

I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and wanting to help them in any way I possibly could. Taking care of a child younger than me has always caught my eye and made me really think about what I wanted to do when I grew up. That’s why I would like to be as successful as I can in my career path and get the best education I can at college to fulfill my personal goal. My number one goal to do during college is to get the right education and training I need to become a pediatric doctor so I can pursue a career in what I love. At the end of the day I just want to have that heart warming feeling when I know I helped the kids and relieved them of their pain or whatever was wrong. The idea of seeing little kids with a cold or some sort of illness has
