Why I Want To Go To Medical School

Through my experiences as a patient and through the activities I have participated in, I realized I have a strong interest in pediatrics. My interest was sparked by my interactions with my pediatrician, Dr. Gomez. Seeing Dr. Gomez’s impact on my family and I, I recognized that I want to work with children and their families. Becoming a pediatrician will allow me to practice in fields that resonate with my personal desire to become a doctor that can heal and teach, practicing primary care and preventative medicine. In addition, I am interested in working with patients long-term. As a pediatrician, I can care for patients from birth through adolescence. By working with children, I can practice in a setting that requires mastery of communication and

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.

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 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

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, we have all been asked this question; and as unrealistic children, we all had dreams of being a superhero, princess, cowboy, or astronaut. Later on in life, as time went by, and as we became more knowledgeable, our answers became more serious. Some of us wanted to be teachers, business owners, or a veterinarian. However, I have always wanted to be a doctor, but not just any doctor. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, half way through my junior year in high school, I have started to question the details of this career, and all the hard work it takes to become a part of the medical field.

After graduating from the University of North Alabama, I plan to attend Medical School at either the University of South Alabama or the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After attending Medical School and my four year Residency, I plan to be a Resident for three more years so that I may specialize in Obstetrics and Gynecology/Fetal and Maternal Medicine. As an Doctor, I want to open my own practice and experience the joy of bringing life into this world. I believe that every unborn baby should have a fare chance at life and I know with the help of these scholarships, I can make my goals into a reality.

My freshman year of high school I literally had no idea what I wanted to do when I grew up. That is, until one day, when I suffered a lot of pain at football practice. I never thought a broken hand would be so beneficial to my future. The next morning I had to get surgery and they told me I would have to see an occupational therapist to be able to use my hand again. I was not thrilled about this news because they told me therapy would be very painful. The first day of therapy was horrendous, I forgot to take my pain medication and she made me do all these weird stretches with my hand. I wasn’t looking forward to my next appointment. After awhile I started enjoying my appointments more and more, I got to the point where I was looking forward to going to my appointments. My occupational therapist was very helpful by telling me what all I needed to know about occupational therapy. Because of the improvement I could visually see, the way my therapist was always in a good mood, and the hands on work you do, is why I want to be an occupational therapist.

What do i want to be when i grow up ? Well many people my age wouldn’t even think about the future but i have always had one thing that i was most intrigued of and that is anesthesia.There is only one job that involves with anesthesia and that is an anesthesiologist.I discovered this my over hearing my cousin say her friend was studying to be an anesthesiologist. Then i decided to look up more facts and and a basic idea of what it was all about and i was fascinated and ever since that i knew when i grow up i want to be an anesthesiologist.

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 want to personally Thank you again for the ride along this past Friday night. It was an awesome educational experience that inspired me, as well as, confirmed my decision and direction in pursuing a career in law enforcement! I was very impressed with department and found everyone whom I encountered to be extremely friendly and welcoming

Thinking about the future is very stressful. As a junior, I am nearing the end of my high school career and now being urged to think about what I want to do with the rest of my life. All the time I am being asked, “where do you want to go to college?”, “what do you want to major in?”, or “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. If you are anything like me, you like to have a well thought out plan for your life. My plan so far is to work as hard as I can in high school to achieve all A’s and a high GPA, get into a great college, and study to become a surgeon. At the moment I am not completely sure how I’m going to acquire these goals, but I am going to do my very best.

As a child, I had a dream to become a doctor. I was always fascinated to learn about anatomy. Since, I graduated middle school, I wanted to attend a school that gave me a head start on the career you might want to pursue. I discovered a magnet High School name Franklin Learning Center, who was a college prep high school, which offered majors.The major they offered were Medical Assistant, Bussiness, Computer Science, Dance, and music. I decided to major in Medical Assistant which gave me a good start in the health care, I loved and enjoyed being a part of that major so I have decided to continue heading down the medical path. One day I hope to become a Pediatrician working in a clinic or hospital with children and having my own private practice

The story in which I concluded that I wanted to become a surgeon all started in my sophomore year of high school. I joined allied health science at a vocational school mostly because it seemed interesting and my mom said she took allied health science when she was in high school. At first, I wasn’t so sure about this class and I was thinking about joining police science. I ended up staying with allied health instead because I don't give up on things and my mom thought I should stay as well. I ended up really liking allied health and studying all the different things involved with anatomy. I always get really good grades on my test and allied health became my hobby; it didn’t seem like school to me. Then I started to think about what I wanted

Who will I be? I will be pediatrician. Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that compares the care and treatment of the diseases of childhood and the study of normal growth. (Funk & Wagnalls, 1.)To become a pediatrician I will have to go to college for 8 years and 3 years to complete a general pediatrics residency. Having this job I will be making very good money, but it will take abountant of time and money just to become a pediatrician. A drawback that I will have with having this occupation is that I may not be able to be with my family as much and be out of more money than I would be making at the time. But through all this I am determined to become a pediatrician.
