Statement Of Purpose: SKMC

I came to America from Vietnam when I was just three years old. I spent a majority of my life with my grandma, who has always taught me the importance of helping others. She always told me to have; you must give, and if you have nothing to give, you can always give your time. This phase has been a huge guide in my life, and it has truly shaped me into who I am. At a young age, I always felt that my purpose in life was to help people. After attending many doctor visits with my grandma for her health check-ups, I was confident my future occupation would be in the medical field. During these frequent doctor visits, I had the chance to watch the interactions and cooperation among different healthcare professionals in different settings. Being in this inspiring environment, I hoped one day I could mirror them and make a difference in people’s lives and the community. Although I have always wanted to help those in need, I was uncertain of what specific career role would allow me to fulfill my passion for helping others.

My two years of work as a volunteer orthopedic technician and emergency room volunteer at San Francisco General Hospital have shown me the rewards of a career in medicine. My duties at SFGH varied from assisting in general emergency room and surgical procedures to assisting in reduction of fractures. In each case, I derived satisfaction from the fact that my actions contributed to the well-being of others.

Serving people begins with community development. In Haiti, I understood what it meant to be a part of a community when we came together as Purdue students and Haitian students to build trenches for better plant irrigation. It did not matter if we were different nationalities, we were able to work together to achieve a common goal. Within One Health, community is defined by physicians, veterinarians, and other scientific environmental professionals coming together to improve the health of people, animals, and the environment. I am confident that I can offer the profession leadership skills and a desire to be involved in in my community so that I can effectively work with colleagues to be a successful

I have been given many opportunities to help others and make an impact in Johnson City through organizations like the Family Medicine Interest Group at ETSU, serving as the coordinator for student involvement in free clinics. I have also been able to make an impact through medicine in Cleveland, TN by way of the Good Samaritan Clinic. This is a free clinic in downtown Cleveland that I have been volunteering at for the past seven years. I have also been directly involved in the start-up of the Just Care clinic in Mountain City, TN, a medical student ran free clinic in rural Appalachia. I was also been able to spend time in rural Guatemala with a medical team from my undergraduate university helping diagnose, treat, and care for patients whom receive little to no regular healthcare. From my own first hand experiences in both Guatemala and my time spent in the Just Care and Good Samaritan Clinics, I have seen the impact that an inadequate health care system can have on a population. I hope to use my medical and public health training in areas that do not have adequate access to health

Volunteering at Texas Health Presbyterian Plano is my way of giving back to the community while developing critical social skills, and gaining important medical field exposure along the way. It’s an opportunity to change a person’s life, including my own. I volunteered at two hospitals last summer and I’m well acquainted with what volunteering entails and would more than love to do it again. Through this hospital volunteer program, I hope to discover my own passions and talents, while also developing skills that I will utilize throughout my entire high school and college experience.

through volunteer service, a physician can help improve the health of the community as a whole. Throughout my life, I

The MSMC has established the mission, vision, and values statements within their organization, which is extremely important to them because of the importance of management. Both Larry and Sarah must believe in these core values because of the improvement in privacy and safety for their organization. The purpose should be to sustain and establish patients’ needs in a well-defined mission, vision, and value statement. Larry and Sarah must work together with culture groups or teams to provide patients with their ideal care. This aspect of care may connect with different organizational branches to create a strong relationship with their local community as they devise ways to implement an effective standard based system that ensures safety. Hence,

I come from a small village in Pakistan which is an underprivilded community with limited resources. Seeing the difficulties people had to go through to receieve medical care was originally my motivation to choose the pre-medical track. I have always wanted to provide help to the underprividleged because I have closely seen the lack of medical resources that many third world counries have, which results in pateints not given proper medical care. Their minor sympoms are not given attention to, resulting in high rates of critical illnesses. I hope to apply my skills and experiences by providing hands-on care. By volunteering as a medical assistant, I hope to make a small difference in both the patients' and the medical professionals' lives. I

The past few years since I have began High School I have realized how important school really is for my future. My freshman year was the year I slacked because I really just had no care but as an 11th grader and an incoming 12th grader for the 2018-2019 school year, I have realized it was a very big mistake because it is now affecting my GPA which I know could be higher. I am hoping that by taking this class it could increase my GPA although by the time I will be taking this class my college applications will have already been submitted. Taking an AP course will be the biggest step I have taken in my high school career. I may not have been ready for this step up in my education during the 2017-2018 school year but I believe I am fully prepared

Throughout my education I excelled in every subject, until I entered high school. I began to take more rigorous courses and my grades began to drop. The coursework was a dozen times harder than any other courses I’ve ever taken and I struggled greatly. Instead of taking one AP course my junior year, I took three: English Literature, Physics 1, and Psychology.

I have some quality volunteer experience, such as rebuilding houses in New Orleans after Katrina and rebuilding houses in Joplin after the tornado. These experience helped me gain further insight on how to comfort and restore confidence in individuals who are in great need. In addition to these volunteering experiences, I have shadowed various doctors and nurses throughout the Saint Louis area. During each experience, grow more confident as well as more anxious in becoming a nurse. These shadowing occasions have granted me better understanding of how to maintain a balance between professional composer and care giving. Currently I am working at a summer camp for kids. This experience has taught me about responsibility and leadership. All experiences have contributed to an overall understanding of the medical field as well as human

One reason I would like to Volunteer at Baylor Scott & White in Grapevine Is to get exposure to different medical fields inside the hospital. I know that this program is not a shadowing opportunity or anything of that nature. However, every time I step foot in a hospital I get extremely excited and ready to go to medical school. I am not only doing this for the experience though. One of the things that brings me the most joy in life is being able to help people. In fact, that is one of the reason’s I want to go into the medical field.

Serving as volunteer at Baptist Medical Center East played a large part in my decision to become a physician. I spent 17 months volunteering with the surgery department. In that time, I saw many patients and was able to observe the interaction of nurses, techs, physicians, and patients. As a volunteer I did a lot of cleaning and organizing, however I had the opportunity to meet with patients and show them to their holding room. I saw many patients come and go, from emergency surgeries to common everyday procedures. All of these had the same things in common, family members who are worried about their loved ones. As a volunteer, I was able to witness the worry and hesitation as families walked back to the waiting room. I was also able to witness

The most momentous challenge I’ve faced, has been the task of resurrecting my GPA. I have always been able to simply coast through classes with good grades. However, during the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school, I recognized that I could not continue on such a path if I wished to succeed. Unfortunately, by that point my GPA was not the highest I desired it to be. Coming to a conclusion, I deduced, the only way to mend my GPA was by performing well in my studies from then on. However, that was not exactly how my plan was executed. During junior year, I had the intention of earning straight A’s and having at least three extracurricular activities. At the end of the first semester I had 2 extracurricular activities, one

Three years ago, before I began taking prerequisites for medical school, I started volunteering at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. I witnessed the lifesaving work that the doctors and nurses perform. Assisting the staff, transporting patients, stocking bays, and speaking to family members of patients allowed me to experience the inner workings of a trauma unit. Seeing the effects of crime and the drug epidemic and how the staff was able to give patients a new lease on life was truly remarkable and has reinforced my desire to help others.
