Why I Am A Doctor

I decided to take this class because I am interested in learning the basics for the medical field. I am interested in being a pediatrician because I enjoy working with children. I look forward to helping families by curing a sickly child or completing a usual check up. No one in my family has entered the field of medicine. I chose the medical field because I feel as if I can provide help for people who need it. Although these are my interest, I am still undecided for what I what for my future and I'm hoping this class can help me make the best

I was born in a farming family in a small town in southern India. My father worked in the agricultural field for thirty years.  He realized while he was working that his children should receive the best education as he had faced many problems due to his illiteracy. This motivated my father to give me the best education without which I couldn’t have come this far. When I finished  tenth grade, I had to choose either Mathematics or Biology and I opted for Biology as I had an affinity for science since my childhood. I always stood in the top ten of my class. I pursued my medical education at the distinguished institution, Guntur Medical College. I commenced medical school with the aim of becoming an internist.

I decided to pursue medicine while I was attending high school in Kolkata, India and fell in love with biology. I enjoyed engaging with people and developing meaningful relationships. I was looking for a path that would provide me with the skills to help others, both in my home country India and abroad. I felt that medicine can offer me an enriched career with the perfect balance of scientific challenge, intellectual stimulation and personal collection. Surrounded by the Himalayas in West Bengal, India, medical school further inspired my intellectual curiosity and cemented my professional identity.

I stood with a look of wonderment as I watched the beehive of physicians, radiologists, nurses, and paramedics collaboratively save a man’s life. The scene initially appeared chaotic with scrubs flying around and doctors swarming all over, but in actuality the team was extremely single-minded—as if driven by instinct. I was amazed by the speed and conviction with which the attending doctor made his decisions; his training and experience was evident with every move. Seeing the tearful wife thank the doctor highlighted the impact of his work—his actions had saved a husband and a father. I left admiring both the competency of emergency physicians and their ability to touch lives in such a dramatic way. While my enjoyment of high school biology sparked my original inclination towards medicine, my first hand experiences in the hospital deepened my motivation and left me steadfast in my decision to become a doctor.

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

Anything could have gone wrong. A Japanese soldier murdering my grandmother as they marched into her small village during the Rape of Nanking. The Communist forces dropping an aerial bomb on my mother’s home before the Fall of Saigon. My father’s old fishing boat capsizing in the South China Sea while escaping Vietnam before his miraculous landing in the Philippines. From time to time, I reflect upon my family’s fortuitous circumstances in the darkest periods of war and their tumultuous journey to America. Being the eldest child of second-generation war refugees has significantly impacted my life decisions and aspirations. Neither of my parents finished their education due the Vietnam War, so I have the privilege of being the first in the

Growing up around three female nurses in my family has sparked an interest in working in the medical field; being the introvert that I am, I decided that it was best to become a medical records field technician in Surprise Arizona. Being a big part of my life has I was growing up, my Nana and my two aunts Phyllis and Theresa all took upon the same career choice and became nurses. On February 14, 2012 I went with my Nana and my sister to the nursing home where my Nana works and passed out cookies for Valentine’s Day. While I was passing out cookies with my sister, I was able to see how the staff interacted with the patients and helped them if was needed, it made me realize that one day I would like to work somewhere in the medical field, but

The whole night my father was groaning with pain and died the following day, witnessing the death of my father and another relative in my village due to lack of health care facilities grew in me a desire to become a doctor and save live. I moved out of my village and got an opportunity to volunteer in a pharmacy

My ultimate goal in this paper is to carefully describe my interests and desires for my future career. I am extremely intrigued and attracted to Medical careers and Health Science. A General Practitioner requires a few skills in which some are reading comprehension, active listening and science. My top career cluster was Health Science, which was the field I was desiring prior to the survey.

The career I choose to become when I’m older is a pediatrician. I choose this career because when I was in the second grade our teacher was teaching a lesson on what you want to be when you 're older. I had no clue but I always wanted to help someone or something in needed like for example a vet or doctor.

College has always seemed like a million years away, however I recently was granted acceptance into my dream school and realized that I would be going to college in less than one year. Although I am extremely excited that I will be going to one of the top universities in nation next year, the University of Michigan, my family cannot help but worry about the financial burden of college and the future of medical school. I truly hope that within the next four years I will be able to reach my academic goals of going to medical school and in the future become a doctor. I know that this is a challenging and long road that will come with a lot of struggles and I want to make my financial situation the least of my issues. I believe that I will be

Skills, interests, values, and passions that my group has identified as important for the health care professional are respect for the patient/doctor relationship, listen to the patient, do your job with quality. Respect for the patient relationship is extremely important because when if you violate the patient's privacy is a HIPPA. When HIPPA is violated you are charged a fine and go to jail for up to 10 years.The patient is the most important person when you treated them, so listening will get their problem fixed.Being in the medical field is a privilege and not a right so it is vital to be the best you can be and try to excel at everything you do.

I want to volunteer for the Avicenna Community Health Center because I want to be involved with an organization that provides humanistic care to various individuals in the community, as well as gain valuable experience to become the best physician that I can possibly be.

I want to say that wanting to become a doctor was my choice because of family, but not because a lot of my cousins are Doctors or in Residency, that my parents want me to be none of that. I was inspired by my family to further my interest in medicine. My grandfather was a Doctor back in his home county of Pakistan after he left the Navy and he is one of my greatest role model. I never meet him sadly he passed away before I was born. But learning about him and his achievements cemented by interest in medicine. When I went to see his grave in my parent’s home country of Pakistan, I went to the clinic he worked and to talk to some of his patients who he helped and those who worked with I found great respect for him. He saved lives and prevented others to be affected; treating every patient with the highest of care no matter if they are rich or poor. I may have never meet him but I want to be able to be like him. Knowing the memory of what he did was something I want to aspire to

If I was asked why I wanted to study medicine a year ago I would have provided a fairly satisfactory answer but if I’m asked why I want to study medicine - or continue studying – now I’m positive that I can provide the best answer possible due to the fact that I have actually studied and engaged in Medicine the whole past year.
