Why Do I Want To Be A Doctor

Growing up I seen my mom, aunts, uncles and grandfather struggle with the death of my grandmother. Everyday there was a new struggle whether it was getting up to go to work or eat. My grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of fifty two, it devastated my family. The question asked “Is why do I want to go into the medical field?” I want to go into the medical field because I want to be able to make a difference in this world. I want to do research to cure chronic diseases, I want to be able to tell a family that everything will be alright, and I want to be able to save a family the devastation that my family felt.

There is a constant push and pull within my mind: “Should I, or should I not?” I’m never sure of whether I should do something, which has caused me a great deal of inner turmoil. One of the main questions I’ve been asking myself as of late is whether I should pursue medical school. So far, I haven’t made a decision, but I learned something of importance when I was trying to come to a conclusion of this problem. Recently, I’ve started asking myself “If I do this, will I be satisfied?” and I think this will be key to answering my dilemma.

Career motivation: Graduated from high school, I attended health care- pharmacy. From-time to time while in college, my interest doubled in the field of health. Finally, I graduated in two-year pharmacy degree and joined the workforce immediately. Even though, the workplace is out of the United States, I have gained endless experiences started from small rural health care center to the country’s food medicine and health care regulatory authority for the past ten years. Definitely, that was the place where I understood what health care is, why health care is important, and how health care professions differ from other professions. So the only career which struggle to restore and maintain the healthy lives of living creatures, including the human being is the health care

I want to be a MedServe Fellow for several reasons, with the ultimate goals of improving my community and providing a stepping stone between college and medical school. One of the main things I want to do during my gap year is gain clinical experience, something I believe I need before applying to medical school, and this program fulfills that desire. I could do research in my gap year, but working in a primary care setting would be the most beneficial in preparing me, not only for medical school, but for my career. My career goal is within primary care, and while I also could gain experience via an EMT route, I feel that MedServe provides a unique opportunity to truly experience and understand primary care. I want to have a more active role

Doctors can work to improve their communication (Taylor, 2012). Doctors can work on using language that is easier for the patient to understand as well as using non-verbal messages to create a warmer environment (Taylor, 2012). Medical doctors are normally the highest on the decision-making team in a hospital, but by seeking out the opinions of nurses and health psychologists, better care can be provided. Doctors who provide education and explanations of procedures before the event help patients feel better after the intervention (Taylor, 2012). Patients who were provided more information from their doctors also were more apt to follow post- intervention instructions and comply with long-term treatment plans (Taylor, 2012). Many doctors exhibit a “God” complex and believe they are the healer. Many people prefer this type of personality in a doctor because they believe the doctor will want to “win” and will do anything possible to make treatment a success. On the other hand, if doctors can engage members of their team and use their expertise, they can more accurately know

I believe the best way to take care of patients is through education. Through education, patients gain a better idea of their circumstance and have the ability to take control over their health. Using sincerity, professionalism, humor, and approachability, educating a patient can be done in an effect manner. I have seen these qualities in action during my observations, and I believe that I possess these traits and have the ability to further develop them. Through these attributes, I hope that I can become a humble and well-respected occupational

As a child, the medical field has been a heightened interest of mine.

In narrative medicine, Dr. Rita Charon asserts that, physical medicine such as, antibiotics, pills, and other medicine individuals can physical take, can cause the patient to self-diagnose their selves. Although, these medicine are supposed to heal, Dr. Charon reveals the genuine way to heal a patient. Most of the time when a patient goes to see their doctor, they are slightly afraid. Many doctors just state to the patients what’s wrong with their body, rather the patient telling the doctor what’s wrong with their own body. With the doctors doing that, this allows a disconnected feeling from the patient towards the doctor. Dr. Charon wants doctors to realize the art of listening and gaining a strong connection with the patient and not just brushing them off, which leads to more sickness and pain. Actually listening to the patient can be medicine for them. Additionally, in one American Greetings card it argues that, with peace, quietness, and calmness the healing

From a young age, I knew I wanted to be in the medical field. I grew up in a small town, so everyone knew everyone and what they did. Every time my school had a job fair, I would be the first in line for the medical section. I so badly knew my purpose in life was to help others and to be in the field of medicine. I wracked my brain over and over trying to figure out to which field I belonged. Every time I helped someone, whether the task was, big or small, it gave me the best feeling internally. I kept the medical field in my head and had a couple bumps and turns like most when deciding on a career path, I even thought about teaching. I took a teaching class in High School for a teaching certification. Although it was enjoyable teaching elementary school kids, it was nowhere near the feeling I had for

When the doctor and I entered a patient’s room, she first asked the patient how her family was doing, using specific family member names and remembering certain life details. When I looked at the patient her face lit up, happy with the personal interaction. This interpersonal interaction between the doctor and patient showed how she cares about the patient and listens to them. When the medical issue was brought up, I saw the physician take the information she knew about her patient and tailor the solution to her, and then discuss which option would be most effective and reasonable. When I become a doctor I want have the same unwavering dedication to my patients, to create an atmosphere where the patient feels heard and valued, the solution is discussed together, and there is
