Why I Want To Be An Internist

Radiologic technology is a satisfying and rewarding career. It is a technical and refined science. As a radiological technologist, there are many essential duties and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to be a good one. First of all, radiological technologists have to maintain a well-mannered and professional behavior when gathering information. They have to assure their patients that they are in good hands therefore; they give patients the uppermost quality of care and services. Second of all, the main responsibility of a healthcare provider is to keep all knowledge of a patient’s health record confidential or secluded. That means radiological technologists cannot talk about patients at home or with friends and classmates

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.

Medical examination is a competitive field of work. That very few succeed in. In order to be a medical examiner, you need handwork and determination. Medical examination has a rich history, requires years of education and training, and come in various forms.

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 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 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

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

For many years in my college career, I depended upon another person to be my confidant and support system. I could not foresee my future without our future, and I planned my path to becoming a physician always with another person in mind. Before graduation, this relationship was severed. I had never experienced such a loss of direction as my time as an undergraduate ended. I had already accepted my position as a medical assistant and began training in an uncertain mental state. I felt as if I was experiencing a loss unlike any that I had before. What I did not realize at the time was that taking on my position at Vanguard during such a fragile time in my personal life would build a new independence and reaffirm my desire to pursue medicine.

I would like to pursue a career in the medical field because I have found myself not only loving math and science but loving the idea of being to help others. The medical field also happens to be a workforce that can never employ too many people since the jobs within the field are so demanding and necessary. With this is being said, I would not only be able to be a part of the things I enjoy but I would be able to do them while making an income for myself.

You can’t expect my life story to be exciting to the point where you wish you were me, because it’s not. All I can say for myself is “wow”. I can’t believe I survived Kasturba Medical College (KMC) in India. It’s one of the top 10 medical colleges in India and it was a lot of work (citation 1). After medical college I did my masters, which helped me specialize in cardiac surgery. Each summer I would come back to the United States to do an internship at Tufts. I’m glad my schooling worked out okay in India because if I choose to study in the United States, I would have to be in school for a total of ten years before I could began my residency. But studying in India allowed me to study ten years worth of material in six years, and not to

The sun exploded into a million shades of orange. I sat, friends at each side, atop a monstrous pile of boulders. I looked over the vastness of Joshua Tree National Park, and saw a glimpse of myself. Love filled my soul; love of people, love of family. The backcountry has always helped me find this love; it has been my personal northstar, shepherding me toward research and medicine.

“Mr. Flueckiger?” exclaimed Mr. Freeborn. He had been the monotone teacher of my freshman biology class and then my AP Biology class after that. I woke with a start. His lecture on genetics had been a perfect melody for my post-lunch nap.

Ever since I was ten, I knew what I wanted to grow up to become, a doctor. Eight years later, and I still have not completely decide on what type of physician I want to be. This is because every career in the medical field interests me. However, when I decided on this career field, I knew one thing for sure. I knew it entailed several different science courses. I was happy with this because I always loved science. What I did not realize was the fact that it also meant I would have to take two semesters of English after high school. I never had as much interest in English as I did for most other subjects. Therefore, due to my lack of interest, English was always an area where I struggled. That is the reason, when I signed up for classes for my first semester at Wayne State University, I was hesitant to sign up for English 1020. Even though I was hesitant, I knew this was a course I had to take. I promised myself that I would take this class, and I would put in much more effort than I had previously. This effort was mainly enforced because of the extremely high standards that medical schools hold their applicants to (the average GPA to get into the Wayne State Medical School is 3.75). Since the beginning of this class, I have improved in each of the writing outcomes, which include reading, writing, researching, and reflecting, due to the effort I have put into excelling in this class.

Most of the children in Africa usually do things that their parents want them to. They like helping their parents. As they grow, they obviously want to impress their parents by achieving some great accomplishment, usually something that could never be reached by someone of their age. I have been through the same situation in which my parents were expecting a lot from me. I remember It came one day my father and I were home; he then called and told me what he was planning for my future he told me that he wanted me to become a doctor even though he knew I wouldn’t accept what he was saying, for I have taken Biology classes in high school, but never succeeded. Thus, I tried to explain and show him what I was planning to do right after high school, but he didn’t even want to listen to me. After that we got into an argument, and he told me to do what he wants me to do or I am going to find someone else who will pay for my tuition at university. Although he wanted me to major in Biology I disagreed and decided going to college majoring in Business Administration and Management because it was my passion I have dreamed of since I was a little kid.

What is the purpose of your life? Do you understand the privilege of your education and profession? The questions posed by my boyfriend during my internship at the medical college in a small village, chinakakani close to my hometown. I met him in the second year of my medical school. I did not ponder the questions seriously at that time. In fact, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of being a doctor, the profession considered highly noble and respectable. As a child, I found science amusing. My mom, a social teacher and my dad, a bank clerk, emphasized the importance of education from my childhood. Growing back in India, I was expected to be a doctor or an engineer as every student that did well at school. After excelling the highly competitive entrance test; I finally chose to be a doctor. I was the first person to become the doctor in my family. Medical school opened the doors for me into a new world. I started exploring not only with academics but also with my leadership qualities. For three years, I have worked with the student dining services and cultural committee of the college.
