Personal Statement: The Importance Of Medicine In Life

867 Words2 Pages

As a child it was quite distressing to see the struggles and hardships that my mother was going through. Its very difficult to comprehend how my young, healthy mother went from being able to do things that she enjoyed to struggling to do some of the basic things she desired to do for her family. To be honest, it was a disease that none of us understood first. I remember my mother going from doctor to doctor trying to figure out why her body was failing her. Eventually a rheumatologist, an amazing physician who quickly diagnosed her with Rheumatoid arthritis and started treatment immediately. The care and dedication he gave to my mother were almost as important as his medications for her improvement. After this experience, I started thinking about the importance of Medicine in life. It made me realize that Medicine is a noble and honourable profession as I saw the amazing difference a good physician can provide in life of those he cares for and their families. Soon I found myself with a desire to become not just an ordinary physician, but an excellent doctor like Dr Farooqi so that I will be a source of providing adequate relief of distress and sufferings for every individual and their families. …show more content…

    I began my college career unsure of the path ahead of me. I knew I had a passion for medicine, however, I did not know which direction I would take. With the expansive amount of options offered within the fields of science and medicine, it was difficult to narrow down exactly what direction I wanted to take. I gained some clarity the summer of my sophomore year when I stayed at a close friend’s home, whose father, a practicing Medical Physician, became somewhat of a mentor to me. The passionate way in which he discussed the practice of medicine led me to develop an interest in pursuing a career as a physician. He explained that a career in the medical field was about responsibility, the responsibility to work with all members of the healthcare team for the well-being of the patient as well as their family

    There is nothing wrong with internal medicine and I really did enjoy my rotation through internal medicine core or almost all my other cores for that matter.

    In order to determine whether or not clinical medicine was the right career for me, I started shadowing Dr. Richard Turner in the ER. Through my experiences with him, I learned that medicine is a problem solving process. As I watched, he would take a patient's history and try to piece together the correct diagnosis by deciding which scenarios were more likely than others. I was attracted by the dynamic nature of each patient's diagnosis and the necessity for an open mind. My hobby of flying has taught me to look at everything in life with a new perspective and to assess the situation from as many angles as possible. Watching Dr. Turner has confirmed my perception of a medical career and the nature of the work involved. Since I love puzzles and problems, the problem solving aspect also increased my desire to become a physician.

  • Personal Statement Essay: My Journey To Internal Medicine

    The calm smile on the face of the dog that I had just rescued warmed my heart. Brutally beaten by my neighbor, the dog limped towards me. I rushed this street dog to the veterinary hospital and got him treated for his injuries. Returning home, I felt an urgent need to do something for him and the other dogs, who I believed would meet the same fate. I informed the sector committee, delivered presentations on the ill-treatment of street dogs, and convinced the 350 residents of my locality to create a safer environment for these creatures. Within days, our collective efforts resulted in 12 adoptions and collaboration with an NGO, which vaccinated and neutered all the street dogs in my locality. It made a phenomenal difference. My persistent efforts had improved someone’s life. I often remember this incident from 13 years back and have nurtured this belief throughout my journey towards Internal Medicine.

    I would not necessarily say that public health has been my passion since childhood. My personal experiences led me to believe that I can, with the right education, make impact as a public health professional in both my nation (Liberia) and the world. The scarcities of basic necessities such as clean drinking water, food and healthcare in Liberia had and will continue to have alarming impacts on its population as well as its economic viability. While many Liberians, including me, were made to believe that living without these basic humans needs was normal, deep within me, I knew that something was broken. A graduate degree in Global health will give me the credentials and knowledge I need to make a difference, no matter how minute.

    After my masters, I want to work with NGOs in order to implement programs and policies that are culturally competent and that will lessen the inequity gap that exists in the healthcare system as well as providing access to those who need it the most. When I was in fourth grade, my grandfather died in a hospital in Accra, Ghana. Perhaps if he was living in the U.S., he would have had access to the care he needed and his life would have been saved. My commitment to public health stems from a belief in equity. Through my academic, social, and professional experiences, I have learned about the inequities that exist in the health care system, which affects the economically disadvantaged.

  • Study Plan

    Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending mystery and every answer has questions, and vice versa. Upon entering my career, I had assumed that professional and financial success would surely bring personal fulfillment. This realization triggered a process of self-searching that led me to medicine. The commitment to provide others with healthcare is a serious decision for anyone. As I examined my interests and goals, however, I underwent a process of personal growth that has propelled me towards a career as a physician. A career in medicine will allow me to integrate thoroughly my passion for science into a public-service framework. Since childhood, I have loved acquiring scientific knowledge, particularly involving biological processes. During my undergraduate studies, I displayed my ability to juggle competing demands while still maintaining my academic focus; I have succeeded at school while volunteering part time, spending time with family and friends, and working part-time. To better serve my expected patient population, I worked over my English and Korean language skills. I have come to discover that a job and even a good income, without another significant purpose, will not bring satisfaction. I planed to utilize my assets, namely my problem- solving affinity, strong work ethic, and interpersonal commitment, to craft a stimulating, personally rewarding career in medicine. I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.

Things I learned in this class are the most important things that helps me achieve my goals. If I understand basics of human behavior, I will better able to understand and treat patients. I want to understand my patient’s emotional needs and reactions in order to communicate with them. Most of all, I need them to trust me because patients who trust their doctors are more likely to open up with their symptoms and problems. For example: young patients may be more afraid than adults. They may have difficulties in understanding their illness. Doctor can apply his/her knowledge of child development and psychology and relate to the young patients in a way that is helpful for both of them. Moreover, it also helps me see how patients are describing their illnesses. Most of the patients describe their illness in a negative way and only few are optimistic.
