Physician Assistant Personal Statement

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

A physician assistant (PA) was created to improve and expand healthcare. In the mid 1960s, physicians noticed there was a shortage in primary care physicians. To deal with the shortage, the first PA was was created in 1965 (“physician assistant”). The demand for healthcare will always be needed. More People are becoming a PA because of wages and less schooling is required. The career of a PA will grow and expand over the years.

“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.

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.

This career path has job security,

I feel so ready to enter the physical therapy field as PTA. I’m proficient with the implementation of patient care, progressing patients within their plan of care and adjusting patient treatment to ensure patient safety. I feel that all the clinical rotations have allowed me to practice what I have learned throughout the PTA program. I need to continue learning and improving my patient

My recent experience as a full-time technician in a physical therapy clinic has done two things: It has acclimated me to busy adult life (cementing the fact that being in love with my profession is an immovable requirement), and it has strengthened my desire to pursue a career in physical therapy. Throughout my employment, I have recognized that the professional demands of being a PT envelop so much more than just knowledge. The ingredients for an auspicious therapist include proficient communication and quality bedside manner, willingness to work with diverse populations, strong analytical/observational skills, and a detail-oriented prospective. My proximity to competent therapists has fueled my desire to emulate the quality service they provide

This is evident by APTA’s vision “ Beyond Vision 2020” which now focuses on “transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.”3 Moving in that direction, physical therapists have to step up to the plate and take on additional administrative, supervisory, and clinical responsibilities across the continuum of care provided. This has only been possible in many instances with physical therapists judiciously delegating care to support personnel, especially physical therapist assistants who joined the ranks of licensed physical therapy professionals in the late 1960s. From here on slowly but surely, physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) have learned to work collaboratively as a team. Each is co-dependent on the other and to some extent accountable for the actions of the

A farm manager is someone that the owner hires to basically help manage the bills, you're the top worker, and you're the boss of the hired people.

There was no enlightening moment or epiphany that led me to believe I was destined to be a physical therapist. Instead, it was a combination of small significant occurrences that slowly proved I was intended to practice physical medicine. My initial interest in the human body occurred in my sports medicine class during my sophomore year of high school. I fell in love with learning about the wonders of the human body and I effortlessly excelled with the material. Due to my passion and interest in sports medicine, I realized I should pursue a profession in medicine. I explored the idea of a career in physical therapy by job shadowing at the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute. After observing the physical therapists, I was immediately drawn to a

When I was younger, I accompanied my father on a medical mission trip to his hometown in Pakistan. Chamnaki is a rural village located outside the major city of Lahore. My father’s visits home is a rare opportunity for the locals to see a doctor, so they line up outside my uncles home waiting to seek medical advice. I waited with the women and children and offered whatever help I could such as conversing with them in Urdu to obtain a background of their medical history or offering refreshments. As I walked around the drawing room a woman’s eyes found mine, and I sat next to her. She was holding her child in her arms whose head was twice the size as normal. She explained, “He has water in his head.” Her son had hydrocephalus. Her eyes were pleading

Caring is the ultimate and major quality needed in medicine. You can have several advanced technologies and new inventions but it would not feel like a medical procedure without the caring element. This experience made me feel how much this trait is important for this job, and how much it is needed.
