The field of Oriental Medicine with a specialization in oncology and advanced pain management is of strong importance to me since cancer has touched the lives of people who are very dear to me.My maternal family is from Anniston, Alabama. Anniston is known as one of the most toxic cities in the United States due to the Monsanto’s Chemical Factory producing PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyls) and knowingly polluting the area. My grandfather died of lung and brain cancer from working in the chemical plant that produces PCB. My mother previously survived thyroid cancer 30 years ago and a cousin who resides in Anniston currently has terminal brain cancer. In addition, cancer is 33% higher in the African- American community than in other races.
Having been born into a family of three generations of outstanding physicians, the drive to succeed and to be of service to humanity is etched in my genetic makeup. I strongly believe that being a member of Bastyr’s academic body will provide me with the tools that will enable me to accomplish my aspirations and join the list of Bastyr alumni known worldwide by their remarkable achievements.

I was born in a small town of -----------of underdeveloped country of Bangladesh. I grew up speaking Bengali, wore traditional clothes, created intricate henna designs on women’s hands, and performed classical Bengali music. Since childhood, thought other than becoming a doctor never registered in my mind. My high grades in high school helped me to obtain admission in one of the most desirable place to learn Medicine, Mayemen Medical College.
Through my clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work in several patient settings, including Medical-surgical unit, Patient rehabilitation unit, Pediatrics, critical units, and community health center.

My educational experiences sparked my first consideration of a career in physician assistant and encouraged me to further explore this interest. At the same time, I started giving community services to healthcare. My first opportunity to personally interact with the patient was in the emergency department as a volunteer at Dekalb Medical Center. The first day I stepped onto the floor, my

I have had the opportunity to work alongside a diverse and extensive number of doctors and nurse practitioners, among other health professionals, which has exposed me to different ways of practicing, different work ethics, skills, and abilities. I know what patients typically consider to be desirable and undesirable traits of health professionals.
Although I had always considered medicine a potential career from hearing my mother’s frequent inspirational recounts as a dentist, it was my volunteer work that awakened my sense of responsibility to the world and my desire to help patients heal. As a volunteer at the UCSF Medical Center, I dashed through corridors with a patient rushing to find his wife in the maternity ward, minutes before she delivered. Witnessing the newborn with the family was a heartening experience, and fostering trust with patients at UCSF Medical has enriched my life immeasurably. Such interactions enhanced my ability to build strong interpersonal bonds, and I was awarded the HEARTS Award from UCSF for exemplary patient care. The hospital became my second home and I realized that I might enjoy working in a health care setting.
No one, no matter how weak or strong, rich or poor, tall or small, is safe from the reach of cancer. Cancer is a dangerous disease killing millions every year without any for sure or easy way to treat it. For years people have tried to raise awareness towards cancer but now that it threatens the lives of so many do people listen and try to help. However even with the help of dozens of different groups and agencies cancer rates continue to grow at an alarming rate. Although we have found ways to treat it we only have theories on how to prevent and stop it. What make cancer so deadly are its Symptoms, commonness, dangerous treatments, the many different areas it can affect, and the cost encored.
Over the course of my life, several themes have emerged that I believe make me well suited for a career in healthcare. These experiences, that I thought to be burdens on my life, instead placed emphasis on my desire to improve medical care in underserved areas. Pursuing a career of such importance takes pride and dedication, yet cannot be accomplished without a critical combination of technical skills balanced with people skills. My passion for helping others has grown immensely over the years and which may seem like just an occupation to others, I firmly believe is my calling. It is this passion that has sparked my interest to become a servant leader to others. My desire is to bring about change, by empowering those who are not financially able and by building a strong foundation for those in need.

During my experiences working in the medical field, I quickly learned that medicine is not just about the intricacies of the body or prescribing medications to fix the body’s shortcomings. There are many more challenges and difficulties that are involved in healthcare that involve many interpersonal skills. This summer I have volunteered with the medical director at Glenaire Retirement Community in Cary, North Carolina. After a few weeks of shadowing, the medical director asked me to see a patient to discuss her primary complaints before he joined me. I went into the patient’s room, introduced myself, and waited for a response. After multiple attempts and no recognition from the patient, the physician came in to join us.
Knowledge is power. This old cliché is such a relevant statement in the medical field. Being cultivated about the anatomy of the human body and understanding the correct treatment plan are two of the most important parts of the job.
