Conducting clinical research can help many patients; this is the powerful driving force behind my compassion to pursue clinical research as my career.
I received my first residency training in medicine in China, where I obtained my medical degree. After immigrated to the U.S with my parents, I completed my USMLE exams while working as a medical extern in Lenox Hill Hospital with Dr. Kirk Garratt in cardiology research and Dr. Yiming Yang, an interventional cardiologist, and later as an intern in cardiac nuclear stress lab in the Heart & Vascular Hospital at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Huston. Witnessing cardiac patients suffered from post-cardiac event depression, I decided to play an active role in bridging the clinical gap between cardiology and psychiatry. I completed my psychiatry residency training and geriatric psychiatry training at the New York Presbyterian Hospital /Columbia University Medical Center, and became board

As more advanced EEG developed and in combined use of computational techniques, they become the ideal non-invasive and cost-effective research instruments for investigation of brain signals and autonomic reactivity in response to stimulation of the brain. I am interested in obtaining additional research training in utilizing EEG and ECG to conduct clinical trials in Alzheimer’s disease, and applying computational skills to analyze EEG and ECG data to unfold the functional and neural mechanisms underpinning the neuropathology of the brain. My long-term research goal is to develop novel treatment interventions targeting these functional and neural mechanisms. I feel fortunate that two established research mentors I identified, Dr. D.P Devanand and Dr. Willman Fifer, who will devote their time and resources to help me to develop the expertise and skills necessary to become an independent clinical investigator in
I put on the lead apron and walked into the operating room. I was shadowing an interventional radiologist, and although I was just watching the procedure, I was nervous. What if I faint? What if I get queasy during the surgery and have to walk out? These questions filled my mind with diffidence. But as I stood there, just a few feet from a doctor carefully maneuvering a catheter around the vasculature of the patient’s brain, I had never been more intrigued and excited. My feelings of self-doubt washed away as a flood of fascination and curiosity came over me. I watched as the doctor skillfully pulled the blockage out of the women’s brain and place it on a tray next to me. The enormity of the procedure was not lost on me. Sitting next to me
To pursue as an undergraduate student at Indiana University, I aspire to attend the College of Arts & Science to earn my Bachelor's of Science degree in biology and to ultimately become a cardiologist. Furthermore while being an undergraduate student at IU, I want to be part of the Atkins community and the Hutton Honors College. I mostly want to be part of the Atkins community because I will be able to find other black college students who may share the same similar interests and background that I have. I plan to invest so much time there and to help them flourish, as well of giving back to the black community. Also, I am a very hard working student that excel through their rigorous courses in high school; I want to be surrounded by students who share those same traits while being at Indiana University. Likewise, the Hutton Honors College will also keep my hard working skills sharp and secure. I want to be part of such an intelligent school to endeavor the challenges to become a greater, stronger, and vigorous student.
My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of ‘Bottlecappers,’ a club advocating anti-drug, alcohol, and bullying to younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they have shaped me to be the young adult I am today.
I expect a great deal from my time with Virginia Commonwealth University Honors College. I enjoy that I will have an adviser that truly cares about my wellbeing and education, and I believe this will help me succeed as I pursue my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I hope to become close with the faculty and staff of the Honors College as I strive towards my ultimate goal of becoming a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon. Although I plan to commute to and from VCU for classes rather than stay on campus, the Honors College dorms are an extreme luxury provided to those students that are qualified. I also am ecstatic about the special classes and curriculum that is available to Honors students. I am pursuing VCU in an attempt to further my education, and I believe the Honors College is my best opportunity to do so. I look forward to exploring all the Honors College has to offer, and I hope it will help me to become a better student, graduate, and person all around.
I am writing to express my interest in the biology teaching position at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC). I am currently holding a New York City initial certification in adolescent biology education as well as a Master degree in Biology. I have experience teaching at a high school as well as a college level. I believe that my experience and qualification is a great fit for this position.
I am writing to express my interest in serving as a course developer for the College of Health and Human Services at Penn State. I have been developing and teaching courses online since 2005 and have held academic appointments at the University of Pittsburgh, Wayne State University and Virginia Tech. University. I am certified in instructional design through Indiana University and my areas of specialization are social psychology, human development, health and wellness and multi-cultural education.
As I begin to prepare myself for entering college life, there are a few concepts I plan to keep a focus on in my life so that I may be able to be a positive influence and bright feature on campus.
In my time at Albany University I have had time to mature and pursue my passion for serving people through medicine. One factor that has aspired me to study at Oklahoma State University is their emphasis on serving rural and underserved areas of Oklahoma. I was raised in a rural area of New York and really love the environment and people. One of the best parts about growing up in a rural area is the ability to getting to know everyone in the community personally. In high school I got to see the continuity of our community first hand when two of my fellow classmates passed away tragically. During this time our community came together to help our classmates families by holding fundraisers and holding gatherings to show our support. It was amazing to see continuity of our community during these tough times. Being able to form connection like these is main reason why I wish to support my community wherever it may be through
Research is the driving force behind all scientific innovations. Gathering talented and passionate people to increase the understanding of the world to ultimately apply a field of science changes the world. I am currently in my third year of double majoring in chemistry and biology at Concordia University Nebraska. I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies thus far—from learning why drugs have a specific impact on the body to predicting electron movement between molecules—and I look forward to learning more. But at such a small school, one educational experience that is missing is the in-depth, focused research projects like those available at KU.
New York University is absolutely attractive to me for its vibrant location—the center of New York City. Besides studying in classrooms, students in NYU can go outside to explore New York through programs like Cohen Arts & Culture Experience. Discovering internship opportunity on Wall Street or enjoying an opera in Broadway, I believe the life in NYU is colorful and exhilarating. Also, as a business student, Stern is beneficial for me to plan career development through Wasserman Center for Career Development, from accessing the NYU CareerNet to hosting career fairs. The close proximity to potential internships of top cooperations will allow me to supplement my knowledge from classrooms with actual and practical learning. Additionally, the social
My specific career path within medicine wasn’t always known until after extensive research and exposure which includes clinical/non- clinical volunteering, undergraduate student, research and working as an ER scribe. From these experiences I have been able to advance and develop my knowledge, skills and attributes. Through my ER scribe certification I have been able to personally observe the processes involved in determining a patient's care and their possible outcomes. The efforts made volunteering clinically were very important in developing additional communicative skills with a patient, thus developing a better diagnosis. The concept that structures a successful research are the fundamentals that apply to medicine, beginning with a theory,
One of the most pleasant things to do on a hot California day is sit out on a patio or porch with a group of friends and enjoy a glass of beer or wine, and converse. Most people would look at their glass of beer and think nothing much of it. When I look at a glass of beer or wine I think of the complexity of it, the beauty and artistry behind it. I never imagined that yeast, barley, hops, sugar, grapes, and tannins would be words that get me excited. Yet, I find myself intrigued by the fermentation process; the idea that yeast can be added to a few simple ingredients in order to create complex foods is extremely compelling to me. It has been an interesting path to my decision to change careers and enter the brewing world, a bit long and winding, but worth it.
Thank you for admitting me to the Loyola College and for awarding me the generous Presidential Scholarship. I always strive for academic excellence and want to continue learning at the highest level when studying at college. Thus, I am applying to the Honors Program to take advantage of the opportunity to learn, work, and interact closely with professors and peers to develop my academic interest in law, government, and politics and improve my social awareness and dedication to serving the community. I enjoy the challenges of demanding courses. By high school graduation, I will have taken six AP courses. I most enjoy AP Government and Politics because it relates to my intended major, political science. I am interested in how government works
People often say that when you do what you love, you never grow tired of it, and over the past four years at Texas State University I have found that to be very true. When I first came in as a freshman, I had no idea I would be ever applying for Graduate School. But as I went through the coursework and fell in love more and more with the topics that each class discussed, I finally decided that I wanted to apply and continue my education in the International Studies Program at Texas State.
