My affinity for biology comes from my childhood days that I spent watching dissection of rats and looking at the cellular structure under microscope. My mother, being a professor of biology regularly used to take me with her to a Biology lab and that is where my journey towards medical career began. Early on in my life, my family went through a long agony of my father's illness and death. This became a solitary stimulus for me to take up this profession and a driving force to strive for excellence. Going through that turmoil of recurrent hospital visits gave me a firsthand experience of an anguishing family. My grandmother's experience had a profound impact on my decision of becoming a pathologist. …show more content…
As it became my hobby to study quite a few microscopic and gross preparations for hours every day. Working under a fine supervision of my pathology professor Dr. Bekhtereva, made me aware of my ability to identify and follow a specific pattern in a slide. My mentor emphasized how important it is to be able to combine this innate visual ability with rigorous scientific …show more content…
It has made me realize that residency training in pathology will offer me a more varied and balanced career. It will give me a unique platform to bridge basic research and clinical medicine, while applying the latest scientific discoveries to improving human health. Pathology lets me directly be involved in many of the critical decisions that affect a patient’s life through continually educating those around us and at the same time being a vanguard for proper care
Since a young age, I always felt inclined towards pursuing a career in the health care field; daydreaming about myself working at a clinic or hospital and making a positive impact on someone’s life. When I started college, I decided to major in Biology and explored the different career options the health field had to offer me by shadowing dietitians, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare workers to find my ideal job.
Born and raised by parents working in the medical field, I have always had the urge to follow up on on a health related career. Despite never being pressured into choosing scientific subjects as my academic studies, I deeply admired what a long way science has come and longed to give my contribution to this fascinating world. I am presently studying for my A-levels at St.Aloysius Sixth form in Malta, a college for high achievers.
As a second year Pathologists’ Assistant student at Indiana University School of Medicine, I am writing to express my interest in the Pathologists’ Assistant position. I believe that this position is ideal for me because my internship at Montefiore was the first step in me become a Pathologists’ Assistant. Through this internship, I was able to obtain the knowledge on how to become a PA, what a PA does, and it solidified any question on whether I wanted to be a PA.
Many years ago there was a small boy who was woken by a loud scream. Terrified, he ran from his room to find his mother unconscious on the floor. His little sister was screaming as he pulled his mom onto her back in desperation. In reality, he didn’t know what to do to save her and his helplessness was due to his lack of knowledge. She passed away that night. That boy was me. Our past defines us no matter how we protest; it can either pull you down into failure or lift you up towards success. From then on, I was drawn to medical sciences and used that helplessness to motivate my education.
Radiologist are very important to people with injuries that need to use medical imagining technology. Medical imagining technology such as x-rays, CT, MRI, PET, and ultrasound. To become a Radiologist you have to graduate from accredited medical schools, pass a license examination, and complete a residency for at least four years for post-graduate medical education. Meaning other topics as: Radiation safety and protection, Radiation effect on the human body, and appropriate performing and interpretation of quality radiological and medical imaging examinations. Radiologist producers are medically prescribed and should only be conducted by appropriately trained and certified physicians under medically necessary circumstances.
As a traditional Native American saying goes, “Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart.” My heart was captured by pediatrics at an early age. My journey was started growing up in a small town of India with different but significant healthcare needs and limited availability of resources. During the school life, I was always attracted towards human biology. As a young student, I was very curious and used to ask many questions, and my teachers always explained every principle by scientific reasoning and rational thinking. Childhood, after all, is a time when every human begins to construct their concepts of the physical, social, mental and emotional portions of their life. In turn, these perceptions can profoundly
My career objective is being physician scientist. Being a pathologist would give me a chance to work on interesting research topics, transitional research, and reporting rare cases. I have worked on many research projects, involving studying Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) mutations in neuroblastoma, renal biopsy findings in diabetic patients with or without non-diabetic renal diseases superimposed on diabetic nephropathy, stem cell research, public health issues and a case report of endobronchial metastasis of
I perceive medicine as an intellectually stimulating and socially rewarding profession. Along with an understanding of science, it requires passion, devotion and personal sacrifices, which I learnt about after speaking to consultants at "A Career in Medicine" course. I have always enjoyed studying science and my enthusiasm to study medicine stemmed from an early interest in biology. To explore this, I completed a two-week work placement in Year 10 in the transplant research laboratory at Addenbrooke's Hospital. I was fascinated by the concept of transplant rejection and even witnessed a mouse heart transplant. In the lab I assisted in carrying out experiments, helping me develop analytical skills and allowing me to see how advancement in medicine is underpinned by research.
Most people my age have known what they want to do with their lives for a couple of years. They never really give it much thought or they can’t decide on one thing. Which is fine, but that never was the case for me. I’ve known since I was eleven what I wanted to do with my life and it hasn't changed in six years. If anything I want it more and more each year. I want to go into the medical field and hopefully become a surgeon. There are so many opportunities to help people and yeah it takes a lot of work to get there, but I think it's well worth it.
Before I was even able to crawl around the living room in my own house or make more than just a simple baby coo; I was a strong-willed little girl that soon grew up to follow her dreams. My mother has always said that I have one of the strongest personalities she has ever seen; that I am a leader and a risk taker. Since I was six years old I wanted to help people in need and to give them justice. Watching the television shows; Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-0 and Castle, furthered my love for getting into the details and solving the crime. I have always loved science and learning how science can be brought into solving a crime. The TLC television network show, Forensic Files has opened my eyes to a much greater career field than just looking at
The career path that I have chosen is is very broad, but it’s more than a career choice for me it’s become a passion. Becoming a Forensic Science Pathologist is one of my biggest plans; Forensic Science Pathologist focus on examining bodies of people(s) who have died violently, suddenly, and or unexpectedly. It’s now my job to investigate, analyze, and collect data which will better help me solve the cases. I strive to become a forensic science pathologist to be able to collect and analyze evidence to be able to convict the person(s) responsible for their actions. This career choice is valuable
From my early years at the Belarusian State Medical University, I remember thinking of pathology as something that was almost magical – the ability to discover the underlying roots of diseases when experienced surgeons, oncologists, and cardiologists were not able to find a solution – therefore, it was natural that I felt drawn to it. I quickly developed an insatiable curiosity and unyielding fascination with it and decided to be a pathologist; once it became clear to me that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. To this day, with sincerity and great confidence, I can say that I have never regretted my choice. I began my career at the Clinical Pathology Bureau of Minsk, assisting with their considerable volume of
My passion for a career in Clinical laboratory science stems from a key experience with a li-censed Clinical laboratory scientist. On one day in the church , I was in dire need of help finding a job that can help me study medical in the future. For the first time I encountered professional-ism, knowledge, and humanity all at once. And this wasn’t a one-off experience. Each time I re-turned to the church, the exact same thing occurred: The Clinical laboratory scientist never seized to take the opportunity to encourage and help me knows better about the great work of Clinical laboratory scientists. From that moment, I decided to do my master in that field.
Whenever asked what my favourite subject is, Biology has been, and will always be, my only answer. It was bewildering to compare my body to a machine working harmoniously. The digestive system, the respiratory system and the circulatory system are coordinating with each other right underneath my skin. Realising that the 'blue lines' visible beneath the flesh of my hands are actually veins carrying deoxygenated blood fueled my desire to know more about how my body functions. To me, it has always been about getting to know my self better.
From primary school, I was always amazed by the fact that the human body, composed of millions of cells, develops from a single fertilized mother cell. This idea triggered my interest for the science of human body. But the main reason I joined medical school was witnessing the actions of the excellent medical unit that saved my sister’s life, after her chocking on peanut. At the university, my interest in anatomy was amplified when I was studying anatomy in the second year. Later, this interest increased during various rotations in surgery and internal medicine.
