Physician Scientist

I choose to pursue a career in clinical research because of its strong emphasis on complicated in-detail practical procedures and fast-paced thinking along with modern cutting edge technology. An opportunity to translate the online learning into research

Our existence, as the most developed species on Earth, relies on intelligence and determination to understand how our body functions and what we can do to help with its constant battle for survival. Diseases that were once deemed rare are becoming extremely common. With no cures, many patients’ lives are endangered. Being born in a generation full of technological advancements, I believe that, with my passion for biology and inquisitiveness for the world of biomedical science, now is the time to engage in this global challenge to develop easier and better ways to live our lives.

New discoveries spawn more medical research in medical colleges. In 1910, Abraham Flexner of the Carnegie Foundation publishes his study on medical education, and induces major medical education reform. Medical knowledge flourishes and specialists account for 20% of physicians in 1940. Hospitals begin to embellish new medical technology as physicians relied on the hospital as a source of access to new technology and as a facility in which to care for their sickest patients.

I love the sciences and find every bit of them exciting and fascinating. I understand that becoming a medical practitioner isn't just about the sciences and the chemistry behind it all, it also includes the human aspect of health sciences.  As a doctor, your "niche" in this world is to alleviate the pain of others. Having lived and grown up in Zimbabwe, I had seen suffering, I had seen pain. When I saw relatives devastatingly ill, it ached within me that I wasn’t able to do anything. Contrasted with the doctor stories I saw on the television, I was convinced that this was not how it was supposed to

You understand that database technology can dramatically improve your ability to analyze information, compared to spreadsheet technology, and assist you in developing your strategic plans for the cafe. To help you familiarize yourself with databases and their associated business value you need to create a report detailing the basics of databases and why they are better for running a business than spreadsheet applications. Be sure to provide a detailed explanation of relational databases along with their associated business advantages.

Since we teach students from diverse backgrounds, I hope to gain insight on the understanding of the general population regarding the various topics in medicine, which will enable me to not only to educate these students regarding any false information or gaps in information they may have, but also learn of the common misconceptions in our community, so that I may be able to effectively educate my patients and their families in the future. All in all, I look forward to investing my time and talents in the mini-med program that aims to provide medical education to the next generation of citizens in our

1. Describe the conflict between medical sectarians and mainstream physicians in nineteenth century America. How did this conflict represent wider political and social trends in the United States during this period? When and how was, the conflict resolved?

Today, the United States is facing a shortage of about 16,000 primary care physicians and this number will continue to grow by 2025 (Amirault, 2014). Primary care physicians (PCPs) are the doctors who focus on overall health and offer the treatments and preventive screenings that save lives. A physician shortage is a situation in which there are not enough providers to treat all patients in need of medical care. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has long pointed out that the shortage of primary care physicians will be a major setback for the American healthcare system advancing (Amirault, 2014). The shortage of primary care providers presents

Exploring various research opportunities on campus and summer internships have allowed me to shape what I want my future to look like. When the time approached to set my personal and professional goals, I made a conscientious decision to enter a field that would allow me to leave a positive impact on mankind, while adding to the current body of research. There is more that can be done by combining research and medicine, and additional steps I can take to enhance scientific advances. These convictions, coupled with my passion for medicine and science, were significant factors in my interest in becoming a physician-scientist, pursuing an MD-PhD. As a scientist, I see how creation and innovation can aid. As a future medical doctor, I see the need to treat, heal, and

Medicine in the 21st Century has continued to push the boundaries of science to unthinkable limits, often fusing complex technological elements and concepts together to achieve great feats. Two major contributing factors that have increased the use of high-technology in modern day medicine are Evidence-based Medicine and Health-Informatics. One study completed at Ohio State University (2016) proved how beneficial combining high-technologies such as Health Informatics Tools (HIT) and Evidence-Based Medicine can be. "Achieving a vision of 'interventional informatics ' will requires us to re-think how we study HIT tools in order to generate the necessary evidence-base that can support and justify their use as a primary means of improving the human condition" (Embi et al, 2016). This synergistic effect is just one of many countless examples of the successful advancements in medicine today. These strings of successful advancements in medicine can almost certainly be linked to the progression of specific

My degree encouraged me to keep abreast of current medical advances and biomedical techniques, providing a strong foundation in human biological concepts and allowing me to explore the aetiology and molecular mechanisms of disease. During the course I was continually mindful of my own end goal of working as a Doctor and sought to ensure

Along with being a biologist, I envision the future me as a pediatric or trauma doctor. Not only do I love learning about how each cell in the human body works, but I want to implement that knowledge in helping others around the world. Along with biology, I am taking anatomy and physiology to pursue my interest in human biology. Choosing my program of interest—medicine—was an effortless decision due to the fact that ever since I was a kid, I have always aspired to be like my pediatrician: always there to treat patients with compassion. Being able to grow up and assist kids who are in need of help has always been a goal of mine, and being able to do so in the emergency department would allow me to give a faster and hands on solution to ailments right in the moment. Science in general is something I am immensely passionate about, in particular biology and being able to learn all the aspects of the human body, and I strive for the day that I graduate with a master’s degree in biology and medical

Humans obsess over the exploration of the unknown. The majority of our vast solar system remains unexplored. Most humans don’t have an idea what could be waiting for us outside of our atmosphere. Nonetheless, space exploration is not necessary unless our world is either perfect or destroyed. There is no need to throw away billions of dollars on space exploration missions when there are other necessities that need to be sought to first.

As a child, I was fueled by curiosity to crack open computers and examine each piece to diagnose their individual contributions to the overall system. Driven by the same inquisitive character, I was drawn to the intricacies of the human body which shared many similarities with these complex machines. My thirst for further understanding of the human body and desire to translate my initial interest into an opportunity to improve the lives of those around me began my journey into medicine.

As one embarks on the path to becoming a physician, we face many challenges along the way. For some of us, we may become exposed to the realities of medicine through shadowing and volunteering and then realizing we lack interest in dealing with patients or spending hours upon hours in a hospital. Some may come to discover that they do not possess the time and patience to go through
