Healthcare and the field of medicine are some of the most sacrificial yet rewarding professions one can pursue. When it comes to community service, brain surgeons to CNAs are the first to come to mind due to their steadfast generosity, whether it be through their twelve-hour night shifts or emergency (and life-saving) procedures. Even those in biomedical engineering careers contribute to society through hi-tech prosthetics that can get a veteran back on his feet after years of disability. I also plan on weaving my own influence like them; for example, although I currently volunteer through school clubs and events, in the future, I will do a lot more -- I will be volunteering to save lives every day. By receiving a degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas, I hope to one day join that heroic, close-knit community and make my own positive impact on my future patients. And to think, my interest in it all started out with loving the annual check-ups with my family doctor. …show more content…
By furthering my education, I hope to be able to achieve that ultimate goal, starting with getting a college degree. Education has always been a big part of my life and ever since I was little, I dreamed of being in the medical field helping others in every way possible -- and by getting a career in the this field, I can also work in a community where there is a shortage of medical professionals. Not to mention that if I were to go into the career of biomedical engineering, new-age prosthetics to life-saving procedures would be daily tasks for me -- although they will not be easy, they will drastically change and/or save lives. And when I finally am qualified to lend a helping hand to people every day, hopefully, in turn, they will help others in the same positive way -- in other words, I hope to serve as a role model to my future
My goal since my toddler years has been to be a hero. Today, I cannot envision myself doing anything else. My long-term goal since the beginning of high school has been to contribute to the biomedical sciences, whether it is as a researcher, a surgeon, or a clinical physician. I aspire to make change, even the smallest improvement in anyone’s life.
This paper focuses on the benefits of stem cell research in the medical and nursing field. New technology is always being created to help us understand the way the human body works, as well as ways to help us improve diseased states in the body. Our bodies have the ability to proliferate or regrow cells when damage is done to the cells. Take for example the skin, when an abrasion or puncture to the skin causes loss of our skin cells, the body has its own way of causing those cells to regrow. The liver, bone marrow, heart, brain, and muscle all have cells that are capable of differentiating into cells of that same type. These are called stem cells, and are a new medical tool that is helping regrow vital organs in our body to help us survive. Stem cells can come from adult cells, or the blastocyst of the embryo. The cells that come from these are undifferentiated, and can be specialized into certain cell types, making them available for many damaged tissues in the body. While using stem cells in the body is a main use, they are also being used to help doctors understand how disease processes start. By culturing these cells in the lab and watching them develop into muscles, nerve cells, or other tissues, researchers are able to see how diseases affect these cells and possibly discover ways to correct these diseases. While researchers have come very far in using stem cells, there are still many controversies to overcome when using these cells.
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
Biomedical engineering is a branch of science that connects engineering sciences with biological sciences that started around the 1940s (Citron & Nerem, 2004). Biomedical engineering is the discipline that promotes learning in engineering, biology, chemistry, and medicine. The objective for biomedical engineers is to enhance human health by incorporating engineering and biomedical sciences to solve problems. Some of the accomplishments made from biomedical engineering are prosthetics, robotic and laser surgery, implanted devices, imaging devices, nanotheranostics and artificial intelligence. As we head towards the future, biomedical engineering is anticipated to become an even greater part of the medical industry and bring about innovating
My goal has always been to become a nurse, and I feel I should complete this because I know I can. I want to learn and be effective at my job. I want to utilize my skills and knowledge. I want to grow and be as helpful in life as I can. Also, I want to help those that need help, to make them feel better. Through my care, I want them to know that there is a person in the world who cares about them. I feel that I can achieve this as a nurse and much more.
I can never forget the time I wrapped slices of raw onions onto my grandpa's foot. I looked up at his strained face, and very calmly he said to me, "It burns, can you please take it off?" My dad, next to me, told me to ignore his requests. He studied Chinese medicine, and this was an Eastern remedy to lower blood pressure. My grandpa had recently had a spike in blood pressure, and it was terrifying to realize that I could have easily lost him to a heart attack or stroke.
Technology is advancing exponentially, and with advancement comes a journey into the unknown. The movie industry is booming with films that portray our foreseen dangerous future with creation of robots, but what is really in store for us? Singularity and biomedical engineering are two of the most popular topics in the technological field. Scientists are debating when, if, and how singularity will occur. Ethical dilemmas, surfacing from the creation of robots and biomedical engineering, are sprouting up every day. Although, no one can truly predict the future, it is important to know what is likely in store. We should take into account the benefits and possible drawbacks that may result from singularity and biomedical engineering, and consider if we should continue to pursue research in these areas.
That is why healthcare professionals has to commit to education. The purpose of the knowledge should bring us to the humble desire to serve our patients whatever the level of education we acquire. In the quest for knowledge caring is a central importance in our practice. The devotion to help others with compassion is what nursing is all about, When I was in school for my associates I never forgot what one of the teachers who had a PHD in nursing said to me when I asked her why she did not become a physician, she said nursing is a calling and that was mine, I knew then having a higher education did not make her a better nurse, she was a great nurse. She helped us cultivate a caring attitude in nursing education. Personally one specific goal for growth I would like to reach would be to help my community. I know I make a difference at work, but I would like to get more involved. It is challenging but at the same time interesting. By doing so I can connect to people and form a network .with this network I can have access to a wide range of people who would be a great foundation of assets. Continuing my education to obtain my masters would be essential to accomplish a profession gain in looking for new prospects. It would not be an easy ask but I have overcome many obstacles and break barriers to better my life and my family so with patience I can get where I am supposed to be. For leadership growth it is important for me to be part of the decision being made at my workplace and provide expertise to improve the care the patients received. My master 's degree will help me develop a sense of thoughtful leadership to advance not only educationally but also
In the future, I wish to obtain an occupation in the medical field. I would like to start out by working for a Biology major and working in a premedical field in college where I can use my interest in medicine and my curiosity for knowledge to gain insight that would be needed to become a helpful doctor in the medical field. As I move along in my career, I would like to work my way through the pathway so that I can expand my skills in healing others, such as diagnostic abilities, effectively giving treatment and so on. I want to learn as much as possible so I can fulfill my ultimate dream of helping others that need answers to their medical problems and so that more people can live happily and healthily in the world. I hope to bring happiness to others and allowing people to live comfortably.
From a young age, I have always been drawn to aspects of healthcare, thriving on its central purpose of alleviating suffering and improving the lives of others. As I've grown older and thoroughly explored the variety of possibilities healthcare can offer, I can't imagine myself doing anything else but being a part of the healthcare community. Growing up, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact healthcare professionals have on individuals and communities, which has inspired me to pursue myself in a field where I can contribute to the well-being of others daily. Overall, taking this path as an opportunity to give back to my community, by making a difference one life at a time. Building from my passion to help others, and my belief that
Though great progress has been made in medicine, current palliative treatments are unable to keep pace with patients’ needs. There are few effective ways to treat the root causes of many diseases. Regenerative medicine is a game-changing area of medicine with the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs, offering solutions and hope for people who have conditions that today are beyond repair.
Growing up I was always told that I had to attend college and be something great. So I guess in a sense I have to prove to myself and others that I can achieve this. When I graduate it will give me a piece of mind knowing that I did what I was destined to do. Graduating and receiving my degree will be one of my greatest accomplishments.
My lifetime goal is to make a change; more specifically, to make a change as a doctor. This choice was not based off of prestige, and financial status, but more self-satisfaction; the satisfaction of knowing I can make a difference. Choosing Pre-Med as a major will definitely have me working vigorously, but I have tried to involve myself in activities such as dance, medical trips, and community service to prepare me for the competitive field of health care.
Many people don't know what biomedical engineers do. A biomedical engineer’s job is actually quite interesting. They analyze and create solutions to improving the quality and effectiveness of patient care. They also design technology to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities. They have a big role in helping people begin new lives. The main job of a biomedical engineer is to help create prosthetic limbs or organs for those who are in need of one.
As a child I had always been interested in medicine and the medical world. My passion of learning about the human body started when I was younger. I encountered many health problems throughout my toddler years. I looked up to the doctors and medical staff around me and continue to look up to them, they were and are still my heros. That is why my goal in life is to become a general surgeon. I want to be able to save many lives since it is possible now to do so now.
