The Importance Of A Career In Academic Research

For this past week, I was an intern for Week 7 of the Harvard Medical School MEDscience Summer Program which offers a total of nine sessions of a week-long summer medical intensives for high school students. 13 students passionate about science, medicine, and healthcare come together from all over the country and even Canada to take advantage of the unique opportunities MEDscience offers. In general, there are very few medical programs in the country gear towards high school students whether it be because of age and education level, laws and hospital policy, or costs. Most of the medicine-related summer programs you can find for high school students are those in which you’d sit in a classroom all day and learn what you could have learned

By becoming a student leader, I was able to embody the spirit of teamwork and partnership based on effective communication skills and respect for the contribution of others. My efforts with the Student Wellness Ambassador Team, along with my knowledge of some areas of public health led me to accept an internship with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), in Washington, D.C. this past summer. The internship provided me with a greater understanding of a federal public health agency’s operation and allowed me to contribute in a variety of ways to the Health Education and Wellness Center in which I worked in conjunction with S.W.A.T. Most importantly, I evaluated and analyzed regulations, policy interpretations and guidance for 70 Tribal TANF programs and 79 Native Employment Works (NEW) Programs, in addition to analyzing audits and developing corrective action plans among the 70 approved Tribal TANF programs.

The career I chose to undertake as my profession is that of a mechanical engineer. Why do I want to become a mechanical engineer? Well, for starters, I would be able to design, build and possibly repair many various machines and other technologies that are complex. These technologies can range from being already in use on a global scale to new, futuristic designs that are highly technical. Also, this career includes being a sort of jack-of-all-trades, where I would possess knowledge in mathematics, physics, etc. Finally, this career offers me the chance to expand outside my immediate area since mechanical engineers are well desired around the globe as well.

These methods of genetic testing are accurate, as long as the genetic origin of the tested disease is known (Mahdieh & Rabbani, 2013), but their reliability is harmed by the fact that the results determine probability of diseases occurring (Holt, 2012). Even though a test accurately determines the presence of a given mutation, that mutation may only indicate a patient’s predisposition to developing symptoms. Since other genes or environmental factors may play a part in the tested disease, the results of testing aren’t entirely reliable for a conclusion of whether or not a patient will develop the disease.

As a medical assistant student I participated in a month long internship at North Country Family Health Center in Watertown New York. I was interning at the Health Center where I was active with many Medical Assistants and LPN’S.

With an internship at Kane County Health Department, I hope to gain a better understanding of the different aspects of Public Health and County government. The areas I am especially interested in are disease prevention, epidemiology, and administration/policy. My goals include to learn and hopefully be part of the process of investigating and preventing the spread of communicable diseases. Being a sophomore at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville I am currently studying how to apply theories to programs. And I believe that this internship will serve as a great way to apply what I have learned in my classes. I am also very interested in the process of educating the community and raising awareness. I am currently volunteering for the Southern

With such a large number of choices, the decision of a career major can appear overwhelming. Do you follow example of your parents? Do you take after the way your friends are taking? When you have a career major decision narrowed down, what do you think about that profession? Do you know what a designer, medical attendant, broker, welder, or agriculturist truly does? What salary will you be paid in this profession? The best approach to discover these responses is by asking individuals who know. Here are approaches to look into and increase encounter in diverse career fields.

I have been working on my academic career for many years now. I am currently in my third year of community college, and have come across multiple teachers who have helped and inspired me in many ways. A teacher not only teaches the content of their course, but life skills as well. They are kind, caring, considerate, and understanding of their students. A teacher who goes above and beyond for their students is one that will make a difference. One teacher who I believe has made all the difference to me, was my accounting professor.

When I first arrived at UC Davis as an undergraduate, I was unaware of what global health was. Although my interests aligned with health topics, such as disease prevention and improving health literacy, I did not explore any other graduate degrees besides an M.D. However, my career plans changed when I joined a public health advocacy group called RIVER (Recognizing Illnesses Very Early and Responding). RIVER prioritized educating underserved populations in Davis and the Greater Sacramento area about how essential preventive care is to one’s health. Through my participation in the organization as a board member, I learned more about preventive care and applied that knowledge by teaching underprivileged communities about how to make healthier lifestyle changes through exercise and nutrition. This organization’s

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to do two things with my career, and that is to travel and to meet as many new people I can. In becoming a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, those cravings can transform into my own reality. Becoming a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative (PSR) has been on my radar for quite sometime. Furthermore, It is going to be vital for me to advance my education and receive a college degree. It is an absolute necessity to comprehend the learning and training requirements, skills or talents required, salary and benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when beginning your future.

When I first read To Kill a Mockingbird, I fell in love with Atticus Finch’s character; he was a calm, fair lawyer who fought for the wronged. Lawyers represent individuals, businesses, and organizations in court, as well as read wills and deeds. Criminal prosecutors represent clients who have had a crime committed against them. I chose this career because being a lawyer, especially a criminal prosecutor, requires laying out facts in a clear and concise manner, as well as verbally framing evidence in such a way as to support my client and convict the defendant, and elucidate upon the case itself. It is important to understand and be able to fulfill the education requirements, skills needed, salary and benefits offered, and the duties performed when choosing a career.

I have a background in computer science and non-profit business. So far, those two career fields have blended harmoniously and have allowed me to gain experience and skills that I feel as though would transfer well into the Business Development position at Sample6. I have garnerned organizational, research, presentation, and many other skills during my time with Bank of America. I have also demonstrated my ability to be self motivated, confident, and meticulous while pursuing education outside of the traditional classroom setting (i.e, self-teaching). Lastly, I have developed strong interpersonal, communication, collabrative skills while conducting research at Washington University in St. Louis and at Columbia University. In regards to my interest,

Attending the University of Georgia’s School of Public Health will allow me to achieve my goals of furthering my public health education through the coursework offered as part of its M.P.H program. I have

1. Why do you want to complete a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy? What do you intend to do professionally after you graduate?

Your first year of college is usually just general education courses that every other freshman has to take. There may be a few classes that are specific to just your major, for example, your friend that is an English major will probably never see a science textbook ever again in her life, unless she for some reason has some sort of death wish and wants to take a crazy class like Anatomy and Physiology. Most people you run into will tell you do just take all the boring general education courses sooner than later so you can focus on what you want. Bill Jolliff says that those are the type of people you want to avoid. In his essay Living a Scholarly Life, he says “So when someone uses a phrase such as “get your general education courses out of the way,” you’re in the presence of anti-Christ--make the sign of the cross and back out of the room.” Now I think both you and me can agree that maybe he might have taken it a little too far by calling them the “anti-Christ” (The Students Calling) but I see the point he is trying to make. In the essay, right before he called someone the anti-Christ, he was explaining a reason why they make you take all those general education courses. “Possibly you want to study business--but how can you pretend to do so without a thorough understanding of the science of economics? Possibly you want to be a teacher--but how can you do so without a thorough understanding of developmental psychology?” (Jolliff) They make you take all those general
