This role does not only allow me to shadow doctors while they engage with patients, providing an opportunity to gain invaluable information and advises. This role requires most of my attention towards patients’ needs, which helps to establish a professional relationship and understand what they expect a doctor to be: caring and sensitive but decisive. As English is not my first language, my bilingual skills give me a chance to help some patients through being a translator. It is not the dream job anyone imagines, hours of sleepless shifts, tremendous responsibility with no room for errors as dealing with fragile lives and not products. This only further strengthens my decision to pursue medicine. What I most admire is how empathetic a doctor can be yet unaffected during a critical situation. It is more than just a skill; it is a talent.

Medicine has been a part of my life since as far as I could remember. The interest in this field sparked me at the moment of first experiences with the settings of a simple doctor’s office. Everything and anything that has to do with some sort of science always tends to attract my curiosity. In the seventeen years of my existence, although there is still more to learn, I believe the experiences and activities I have participated in make me a good candidate to become a successful general

During my internship, I had a patient newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He and his family came from a rural area and did not have enough knowledge about the disease. Seeing that, I took the time to educate them about his condition and the details of his care.A year later I received a phone call from this patient’s family thanking me for what I did, and consulting me for a minor illness that he encountered at that time. Although they knew I was a junior doctor, they have valued my opinion. I felt appreciated and exhilarated to experience such a satisfying moment. Learning medicine in Sudan was challenging, being in a country with a culturally diverse population and limited resources doctors are confronted countless times by the lack of diagnostics, medications and even hospital beds. Therefore, patient care necessitates sharp physicians who rely on their fierce clinical sense. Throughout the years I realized how important it is for a physician to build such a firm clinical background. It is stunning how minor changes in clinical signs and symptoms could lead to different interpretations from one patient to another. Every case was challenging and mysterious, nonetheless I incredibly enjoyed the intellectual stimuli and the excitement of solving clinical puzzles and interacting with patients. Additionally, I believe I have an inquisitive nature, and I resolved to take on the intellectual challenges offered. This along with my intense passion will guide me to

Throughout my experience as a surgical patient, I always noticed three things my medical team never failed to perform: inform, educate, and care for me. Through my frequent visits to the hospital I began to notice that these ideals were essential in every successful physician-patient relationship. As I progressed in my career as a student, I came to realize that the academic and extracurricular activities I was involved in were helping me perform those very qualities.

I have been interested in medicine ever since I was young, when my mother caught studying her medical almanac with a flashlight, under the covers, every night during second grade. However, I was only seven, so studying was the child’s equivalent of looking at “pretty pictures” of coronary artery bypass grafts and intricate diagrams of alveoli. I became intrigued with human anatomy and how each body part works in harmony. Through my activities, I discovered a hands on approach to body functions. From kicking soccer balls to breaking boards with my feet and exhaling to play the flute, I have observed the body’s ability to perform and nothing takes my breath away like anatomy can. During my high school years, I observed a close family friend during his surgeries.

A physician must be well rounded in a variety of fields to provide effective care. First, an interest in learning scientific knowledge must be accompanied by the ability to translate that knowledge into methods of treatment. Because science is constantly changing and improving, a physician should be continuously expanding their scientific learning within and outside of their respective fields. Most of the coursework that I have taken reflects my interest in the intersection between biomedical science and its applications through an anthropological lens. For example, I have performed public

My ambition is to follow a course which combines my two favorite subjects Biology and Physics. I have always been attracted to the medical field because it combines human compassion with knowledge and technology. I am interested in sonography because it allows me to have a direct involvement with patients and it is an ever-evolving field that promises to continue to grow and expand. This allows me to achieve my career goal in Diagnostic Ultrasound.

I strongly believe health is the center of life. During my job shadowing, I observed that many patients want to work, but they couldn’t because of their health conditions. One of the patients told the provider that he really wanted to work but he couldn’t due to his back injury. Most people get their purpose from jobs, and the patient lost his job. If people are healthy, they will be more likely to contribute to their society. This inspired me to prevent illness for people to have a healthier life.

Emory School of Medicine provides a unique environment to mold my medical education to work within clinical care in a dynamic global community. My diverse range of experiences from my upbringing, eclectic communities I have grown in, and unique perspectives of medicine and public health I have gained through my professional pursuits will be vital to me contributing to the unique atmosphere of ingenuity at Emory that supports the development of doctors who strive to serve individuals and communities of all types. Through my research experiences, I gained a multidisciplinary understanding healthcare through different contexts, which converges on finding effective ways to communicating with people and gaining a better understanding of what goes

The patient simulation laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment that provides students with the opportunity to tackle real-life scenarios in a safe and supported environment. Human patient simulators are sophisticated computer mannequins that be programmed to exhibit a range of signs and symptoms. They replicate real patients and can breathe, cry, sweat, bleed and talk. They also have pulses, chest, heart and bowel sounds. All the simulation equipment can be linked up to a hi-tech computer and audio-visual aids. Groups of students get to role-play a wide range of different scenarios, with a lab co-coordinator observing, running and intervening in the scenario remotely. The aim of this SIM lab is to implement more reflective faculty teaching

Since I completed this form my conditions have become worse. My new present illnesses, consists of obstructive sleep apnea (CPAP), heart condition (PTCA STENT), cardiac catheterization, hypertension, and cholesterol/dyslipidemia. With all of this and including my other illnesses, this could cause serious problems in the workplace, and have limited my ability to work. Because of my sleep apnea, (it effects my mental abilities like memory, concentration) I reacted slow when it comes to time, have vision problems, sleep problems, (causes me to fall asleep during the day) and my fatigue, (tired, sleepy, and can only walk 10 to 15 minutes) all affects and limit my ability to work and I have another impairment such as heart condition that limit my ability to exert myself physically. Without adequate sleep, I have more difficulty concentrating, learning, and communicating. Memory lapses have increase; my problem-solving ability and social functioning) have decline. I Can be moody and less tolerance of people, differing opinion, making me more prone to outburst. According to my doctor my driving ability I have to be caution. Also I have hypertension, the doctor limit me to lifting only a few pound.

As a student aspiring to pursue a medical career, I knew it was imperative to attain a firsthand experience in a medical setting. Therefore, my experience volunteering at the Volunteer Healthcare Clinic, or VHC, was profoundly significant as it allowed me to learn how the profession was in practice, which strengthen my desire to become a doctor. This experience, engaging with patients and physicians, exposed me to a different side of medicine through which I learned the crucial role of interpersonal communication; and, it also led me to discover a new aspect of medicine that captured my interest and motivated me to seek a profession within this field of study.

I always harbored a desire to become a doctor, and this path was solidified when I shadowed a pediatric neurosurgeon. As I observed Dr. Piatt perform two craniotomies, the coordination among the medical professionals during surgery reminded me of the teamwork I loved playing soccer. Our team was most effective when each player understood her role and how it supported others, and now I saw that cohesiveness and communication get results in the operating room as well. I knew I had to be a part of

You might well think and ask, illness are concerned only with the physical condition of your body, why could one’s illness have anything to do with the society? However, one’s health issue can affect the society in different ways, for example, alcohol abuse and obesity that decrease the morale.
