Statement of Purpose for a Career in Pediatrcs

Being a doctor says a great deal about who you are, and also the person that you aspire to be. A doctor has immeasurable qualities. Not everyone is equipped to be a doctor, and not everyone wants to be one. For those of us who do, we put forth a great deal of time and effort to achieve this end. When asked why I want to become a doctor, the answer is easy. I want to become a doctor to help people, but my reasoning runs deeper. When I take the time to reflect, I know that medicine has always been the right choice for

I have had a passion for becoming a healthcare provider for children for quite a while (for a long time). Children are one of the most important individuals of society because they are the future and will one day be in charge of the world. Their health at a young age is indicative to how their health will be as adults. Childhood has a great effect on how a person turns out to be so I hope to help children I hope to use prevention and education to preserve and restore the health of my patients. My career goals are to prevent children from having to spend time in hospitals or in pain and to help them live out their life and dreams to the fullest extent. Children play a very large role in their families, and when a child becomes sick, the whole family becomes distressed. Pediatricians not only heal children, but they help and prevent a family from suffering. I love medicine and children, and I hope to combine these two passions by becoming a pediatrician.

I remember being four years old in my preschool class and a little boy coming in one day with a bandage over his ear, because his ear drum had ruptured. I just remember having this overwhelming feeling to make sure that he was okay. So much so that during nap time, I made sure that my nap pad was right next to his, just so that I could make sure that he wasn’t hurting or in pain. Since that instance, I have always been a person that has been compelled to help people. It’s a part of my internal genetic code. The older I became, the more I realized that going into the field of medicine was easily my best platform to be in a position to help people. When I think about being a doctor, I get filled with an overpowering feeling of excitement. I get to be the person that someone trusts with their care, a person that someone trusts to treat their ailments with respect, a person that can use their mind

I believe my qualifications and training make me an optimal candidate for the job regarding a pediatric specialty. I, an individual with such patience believe a connection with your company would be jointly valuable, as I am searching for a challenging work place where I can exhibit my skills to the highest measure. I would make my biggest priority to promote health for both children and their families.

Originally when I thought I liked medicine the only term I knew was “doctor”, so for a while, that's what I wanted to become. However through exploration, I found that there were many different types of medicine, and by examining what I enjoy I'm now interested in working in pediatrics or geriatrics. If I’m accepted into this program, I hope to grow in my basic knowledge as well as explore many different potential pathways to help further decide what to pursue. Another career I'm interested in is nursing or becoming a nurse practitioner. Many of my relatives have found joy in nursing and through them, I’ve seen the many sides of medicine that

hen I first started college here at the University of Southern Mississippi, I was undecided on what I wanted to do in the future. I have always been very passionate about working in the medical field and knew that was something that I could see myself doing in the future. I first started out majoring in Biology, because I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. Throughout high school my career interests switched back and forth from physical therapy to nursing. I decided to major in Biology because I was very interested in science and knew there would be plenty opportunities to learn more about it. During sophomore year I continued thinking about nursing and eventually knew that my heart was leading me towards changing my major. After I changed

As an undergraduate, I initially majored in exploratory studies so that I could better assess my skills and interests to see which major would be best fit for me. It did not take long for me to decide on a major of movement and sports science because of the focus on the biomechanics of the human body. I did not know that I wanted to become a physician assistant right away. Initially I thought about becoming a physical therapist or personal trainer, since I was interested in exercise. However, it didn’t take long for me to realize that my interests were more widespread than that. I was interested in the diagnostic aspect of medicine, so I knew that I did not want to become a nurse. Of course, I considered medical school but found that the PA

Growing up I never entertained the idea of becoming a doctor. Why? Because I was terrified of doctors and hospitals. Just the thought of visiting the doctor’s office for a simple checkup shot my anxiety levels through the roof. This anxiety stemmed from the fact that my father had been sick throughout my childhood years and would at times be taken to the emergency room, which is a scary thing for any child to experience their parent being ill. So at a young age, I associated hospitals and doctors with fear and this deterred me from having any thoughts about future careers in the medical field.

I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother is a trained laboratory technician. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. Seeing both my mother and father at work, I knew that neither of those professions were the correct fit for me. I liked the personal side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. As I searched for careers in the medical field, I could not find anything that I was passionate about. I could not find a career that combined my

When one chooses a career path that is un-fit for their personality it is clearly seen oneself and everyone they encounter. I truly believe everyone has a calling because I have had people touch my life by simply doing their job. For example, I have been to restaurants, grocery stores, schools, etc. and met people that impacted my life in a positive manner. When I was six my little sister had seizures. I remember her first episode and sensing how scared my parents were. My sister and I have always been best friends and seeing her hurt, even then being so young, all I wanted to do was help. The doctors and nurses not helped my sister get better, but helped my parents and I, as well. I want to be to someone else what those health care providers were to me and my family.

From a young age I had a good idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up. (1) In elementary school I professed that one day I would become a doctor. At that time I had no idea what the career entailed but for some reason I have had my heart set on it ever since. I have always had the mentality for helping other people and it is a core value that I have maintained for as long as I can remember. I remember taking a career assesment during my middle school years that everyone was required to take. As everyone else wondered what their results would be, I had already known my own result. The assesment results told me that I should pursue a career in the medical field. This is something that not many people would be able to tell about

A pediatric emergency medicine works with problems that are serious, and usually life-threatening. I believe this career will be a good fit for me because I love children, and I am usually calm in emergency situations. I have asked myself, why did I chose this career? My answer for that is since I was a child, I always loved to play doctor games with my cousins and sisters. Now that I am older, I still enjoy playing with them, and occasionally

The reason I would like to be a doctor is because, it sounds interesting and I could help save lives. My mom is a doctor and she has encouraged me to think about becoming a doctor. I have a lot of respect for doctors because I know they put a lot of effort into their work.

I have been interested in the medical field for as long as I can remember. I recall being around the age of four or five and my mom asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I answered without hesitation that I wanted to be a doctor. I know at that age I did not know much more about being a doctor other than simply they took care of sick people. As I got older, I chose to be a doctor for babies and children, which at first was for the simple fact that I loved babies and children.

Selecting what specialty to pursue is one of the biggest decision a medical student has to make. This decision affects the course of life. During my first years in Medical School, I had an interest in a variety of specialties but was not sure which one to pursue.
