Pursuing A Career As A Medical Assistant Personal Statement

I always had interest in a clinical research career that serves a large number of people by emphasizing more on research studies by exploring whether a medical strategy, treatment or device is safe and effective for humans. As a graduate in medicine, my strong base in the medical field continually challenged and motivated me to expand my skills in patient care. My coursework has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of how disruption in biological systems can influence one’s health.

“Letto diciassette!” I froze at the sound of “bed seventeen,” and watched with horror as the Italian nurse ran into my grandmother’s hospital room. The monitors were beeping out of control, yet my heart seemed to be beating even faster and louder. I stood at the end of the dimly lit hall, shaking and unable to move. A health care provider spotted me standing there, desperate, alone, and vulnerable, and made her way over to comfort me. The feelings I experienced next were what I remember most when I look back on that dark and gloomy day in Italy. ***The feelings of hope, reassurance and genuine kindness. The feeling that a missing piece of my heart had been put back where it belonged. That is what I remember most and that is the role I want

I have always dreamed of being in the medical field. But, there came a point in my life where income was more important than education. After graduating in June of 2011 from The Charter school of San Diego, I had the perfect career plans. Little did I know a perfect future was never promised. The trials I have overcome, have molded me into the hardworking ambitious young adult I am today. I am truly going to be an amazing Dental Assistant.

My chosen degree program is Associates of Applied Science in Medical Assisting at Kaplan University. I am currently a online student. I have been doing some research of my program and I have came up with a lot of very interesting facts. First the median salary for a Medical Assistant is $28,860 per year that is about $13.87 a hour, that was in May 2010.

Being a Medical Assistant you must be prepared to face the various types of emergencies. Two most common emergencies that a Medical assistant will be facing are seizures and fainting. In appearance it would seem that fainting and seizures are a little similar they both disrupt the normal consciousness.

Other things to keep in mind when applying for these physician assistant programs are things like the GRE and more importantly, the citizenship requirement that may intervene with my plans. Though I have a permit to legally reside and work in the United States, I am not considered a citizen or a permanent resident. This could be a big problem when applying because a requirement listed is that the applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Applicants should be citizens or permanent residents because insurance is required to participate in the clinical rotations. I believe this will be the most difficult part of my journey to becoming a PA but like all the other challenges I have faced due to my legal status, I will overcome it. I will use this personal issue in my favor by explaining that having to live with it has only made me more resilient and I would relate it back to their mission statements which all state that one of their priorities is to serve the underserved communities. Because of my status, I relate to these underserved communities because I

My essay is going to be about the pros and cons about becoming a medical assistant in America. The wages that you need to expect to make as a medical assistant, and the education that is required to have as a medical assistant. Not everyone is drawn to the same profession within the medical field. By the end of my research and information hopefully I will know if this career is for me.

There are more than 100,000 certified Physician Assistants practicing medicine in the United States. PA’s have a very high starting salary and get to do a lot of hands on work. After just two years of schooling you can come out making an average of $94,000. Being stuck at a desk all day is dreadful, and physician assistants get to choose what they want their work environment to look like. Job opportunities for a PA are expected to go up by more than thirty percent between 2010 and 2020. When you are a PA you have a huge amount of flexibility to choose your specialization. I know that a PA is the best career choice for me because i love to work with people and enjoy social interaction, i love to have flexibility to be able to spend time with my family, and there are very good benefits and there will always be job openings.

Entering the Medical field as a Medical Assistant showed me that the medical field is the field I want to continue my career in. To me it was the limited options to grow forward as a medical assistant, so I switch my focus to Nursing. I started the nursing field as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)t and did that for two years. Later I obtained my Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certificate. Now, I am looking to pursue a degree to be a Registered Nurse (RN).

Medical assistants are needed in order to help physicians with their specific duties. There are various names throughout history given to the physician's assistant. Whatever society chooses to call them they’re essential in how they have such a gross amount of opportunities in their career. This being said, they can work in almost any area of medical practice. There are such a vast number of PA’s graduating at a rate that is far greater than physicians, therefore forcing medical practices to implement the PA in place of the lack of primary physicians.

“No one has control of your life other then you”, is at least what I thought, when I first decided to start college during my active duty service. Not everyone starts school the first year they join. Most people wait a couple years before tackling the dreaded school again. I wanted to start as soon I was done getting my surface and air pins in the Navy. I did not want to get to comfortable because I know how quickly time can fly. I want to get as much out of the Navy as I can regardless if I stay longer than four years or not. A good education is very important to me. The career path I hope to follow by going to college is a Physician’s Assistant. A Physician’s Assistant requires a good amount of school, patience, dedication and most of all the desire to want to help those in need medically no matter what
