I have been involved in school affairs as a prefect, speaking on behalf of my year group during prefect meetings. I was selected amongst the gifted and talented students in year 9 to take part in a three day leadership course which enhanced my leadership skills and gave me confidence to give my opinions and lead the team. Significantly, it taught me how to deal with situations when the responsibility is mostly on me. Additionally, I was nominated by other students to be head girl prefect and form representative. These roles involved attending staff meetings and speaking for other students to help improve our school life. Helping at charity events in college has enabled me to strengthen my communication skills and teamwork, essential for any profession within a science field. I signed up for the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award as I believe it will strengthen my team-working skills and allow me to explore new skills and activities which would prove to be fundamental in university. Also, attending a field trip with college allowed me to discover marine biology and understand what it consists of. This enhanced my knowledge and developed my interest more into
In the past, I have volunteered for our bands fundraiser every Christmas, which we host at our high school. It is a unique moment in time, to see the joy of children's faces as they walk into the school that morning for Breakfast with Santa. Being able to put on a performance for those children that morning brings joy to my heart and keeps me coming back each year. Another event is the Special Olympics held in Houghton Lake. Students from our school every year go and help setup and run the Special Olympics. Helping out and getting to talk to participants is an honor and has created new relationships with people. I want to be able to give even more back to my wonderful community through the National Honor Society by volunteering and helping as much as I can. Meeting new people, and helping them in ways that can change their life can have a permanent effect on one's self, and NHS opens that
My first experience with genetics in a lab setting was in my AP Biology class, where we worked with recombinant plasmids. Because I so thoroughly enjoyed that learning experience, I went online to look at the various applications of genetics, discovering how a world of possibilities still lies in the near future in the field of genetics. DNA is the code for all life as we know it, and now that we have the capability to manipulate it, the applications for genetic biotechnology in tackling genetic diseases and mutations are unbounded. This prospect truly excites me because of its potential to help others. I aspire to be able to help others with the work and research I perform in the field of genetics in the future.
I believe I have great analytical skills and attention to every detail due to the sensitivity of the experiments we had to undertake in a laboratory. Looking after one’s health is very important as it helps us to stay away from diseases and live a happy life, which is why I personally worship my health. Therefore, I find it rather interesting to study about the diseases and it’s adverse effects on one’s health. In future, after completing my University, I have a strong desire to help the poor and illiterate people who don’t have access to the healthcare facilities. Since high school, science has always been a subject of interest to me.
Typically, in this line of work, biomedical engineers work collaboratively, and tend to work together with physicians, nurses, and technicians in order to determine new and creative ways to find solutions to problems that are complicated and have never been thought of to solve. In addition, biomedical engineers offer, physicians and other professionals, state of the art medical equipment to receive an insight of biological processes that occur in the human body, which benefit physicians choose the best possible treatment for their patients. Although biomedical engineering benefits the medical industry and has its supporters, there are those who contemplate the ethical implications of some of their research. All in all, biomedical engineering is the driving force to providing a better and more effectual health care to society by using new and innovating
The human body is the most complex organism in the world. A vast majority of society never gives it real thought, but our body is a well-oiled machine composed of several systems with separate functions, yet they all work together. No man can recreate an exact working replica of a human; even with all of our technology, we still do not fully understand it. Each day, anatomists and physiologists are getting closer, by making medical breakthroughs. Therefore, since the study of the human body constantly evolves, so does the study of medicine.
Many of the advances in the recent years go to creating new treatments for diseases. Over 58% of all deaths in the United States in 1994 were due to AIDS, cancer, and types of heart diseases (ieeeghn.org). Today this percentage has been lowered drastically thanks to new medications and improved medical procedures in the medical field provided by biomedical engineers. If not for biomedical engineering new medicine wouldn’t be developed.
One of the most interesting posts I have held in school is Deputy Managing Director of the 'Young Enterprise´ company, "Opus 21", I found the experience both rewarding and challenging. We encountered some problems at first, but the team worked together to solve them and I felt a real sense of pride to see the company succeed. My skills were further put to use when I helped represent my school in the 'Team Technology´ competition at the 'Logica´ headquarters in London. This involved solving problems in highly realistic business situations, within a limited time. My group was Runner-up, winning one week of work experience with 'Logica´ and prize money for our school.
Life is much easier thanks to the technology which is constantly involving. Biomedical Engineering is one of now a day’s major that is exponentially growing and having a great impact whether is health care or socially wealth. Biomedical Engineering is a field that is exponentially growing in health research. Biomedical Engineering is the combination of doctrines and problem-solving approaches of biology and medicine (Intro to Biomedical). Although is most commonly known for having a positive impact in persons and society, Biomedical engineering has a very delicate issue which is contaminated residue. Biomedical Institutions have the responsibility to strike this issue and eradicate to have a healthier place to
In order to make biomedical science maintain and reinforce its link with the true good of man and society, it is necessary to foster, as the Holy Father recalls in the sacred book, the bible, a "contemplative look" on man himself and on the world, As realities created by God, and in the context of solidarity between science, the good of the person and
By volunteering as a girl guide leader, I have developed valuable life skills such as, communication skills, leadership skills and teamwork skills. Effective leadership skills will allow me to lead a group to success with limited disagreements, Good teamwork skills I feel will help me on the course as it will allow me to work as part of a team of forensic scientists with limited confrontation or disagreements. I also currently volunteer at a wild hedgehog rescue where I help care and rehabilitate wild hedgehogs over the winter ready to be released in the spring, I believe that this has given me responsibility as I need to make sure that all the hedgehogs have had the right medication. During high school I mentored a younger student in my tutor group I would help them with their homework by explaining it to them in simpler terms , I mainly tutored them in biology and maths as these were the subjects they were struggling with the most. Outside of college I regularly play basketball I believe this has improved my teamworking skills and my communication
The opportunity allowed me to explore various subjects in the biological/medical sciences and to narrow down my specific interest in the field. Specifically, a course in stem cell technology that I took on the Spring 2016 semester has engaged me more into the field of regenerative medicine, where stem cell can be used to derive patient specific tissue for therapy and disease modeling. Another course in genomic technologies that I took on the Fall 2015 semester has allowed me to explore possibilities of using advanced sequencing and molecular biology techniques in the clinical field. I hope to work on research studies in these areas and to have impact in both lab bench and
Although my background is in Biomedical Sciences, I believe that health promotion is a more advantageous solution to improving long-term public health issues compared to medical treatment. I initially pursued my studies in health through Biomedical Sciences, where I learned how infectious diseases occur at the molecular level. However, my curiosity was not satisfied, and I began taking courses in Health Sciences such as Determinants of Health, History of Health Care, Global Citizenship and Health, Epidemiology, Canadian Health Fieldwork. With Determinants of Health and History of Health Care, I learned about the social determinants of health from the Canadian perspective as well as how Medicare was initially proposed by Tommy Douglas and is
This is evident as I have analysed several written and visual sources plus case studies to find reliability and evidence that support a range of arguments, which I believe will be useful for studying Biomedical Science. The quality of life on earth is highly dependent on Biomedical Sciences, and I believe that I am fit to carry out such a responsible role. Involving myself in preclinical research, specifically in pathology, immunology and cancer biology, will expand my knowledge of the human body in an advanced manner, in terms of molecular levels. For example, I am drawn to research in how viruses attack a cell internally, such as the Spanish flu pandemic, which killed over 50 million people in
In relation to my subject, I have completed an ‘Experience Cambridge’ course at the University. Learning about anatomy and embryology was incredibly intriguing
I have been keen on chemistry and biology throughout my time at secondary school. I have always been amazed by human anatomy and physiology. I am particularly interested in understanding methods for diagnosing, analysing and treating disease. Ihope to study biomedical sciences because I wish to pursue a degree which will enable me to explore the world of science in much greater depth and widen my understanding of the role of science in the modern world. I feel that a degree in biomedical sciences will broaden my perspectives and enable me to use my scientific skills in full. I enjoy reading widely on a range of scientific subjects, and look forward to the opportunity that a biomedical science degree will give me to pursue these interests further.
