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.
I plan to practice Clinical laboratory science in a retail setting because I have an absolute desire to help

When it comes to working in a stressful environment while maintaining efficient, human, and profession-al conduct, I’m highly competent. In addition, my communication skills are sharp, as is my abil-ity to retain information and remember people. Thanks to my schooling and my keen interest in the industry, my research skills will keep my knowledge of the industry and practices up-to-date. In fact, taking in new material is a joy. The Clinical laboratory science field is vast and ever-changing, something I’m both excited and prepared to deal with. For this reason, I intend to re-main on top of advances in the field. I believe I would make an excellent candidate for multiple reasons. Thanks to my age and work experience, I’m determined to fulfill my goals. I am also intent on elevating my level of knowledge and standard of life. Hardships I have encountered have allowed me to understand the importance of a professional degree. I already have a fair knowledge in biology and chemistry due to my study in York College. Familiarity with body parts and its fluids as well as their func-tions has given me an additional
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.
First, this text will discuss some background on Labcorp to form a better understanding of the business, and the practices used. Labcorp is one of the largest clinical Laboratories in the world, which includes many wholly owned subsidiaries. The Laboratory Corporation of America (2013) website LabCorp has over 220,000 clients and process over 400,000 samples per day. LabCorp uses an innovative clinical laboratory processing, referral, and specimen testing information systems to create fluent, and easy to use specimen processing and testing. This process has developed through time, and LabCorp has grown into a robust multi- laboratory testing facilities through the buyout, and absorption of numerous specialty laboratories. As the buyout of subsidiaries has been a large part of the growth of this business, information technology had to grow along side, as the connection between all sites became critical for survival, to keep the stance of a premier multifunctional Laboratory tycoon (Laboratory Corporation of America, 2013).
Life’s experiences, work, and education have prepared me to further my education. I will achieve this goal with the ability to analyze situations, make informed decisions, and provide my patients with the best evidence based care possible. I will also have the ability to impact change in quality improvement, policy and procedure, and overall patient care with evidence based
I believe each one of us is gifted with a certain potential, and we are trimmed and molded accordingly by the tribulations of time until we reach our goal. Julia Roberts is an actress, Ronaldo a soccer player, and I am a doctor. What separates me from them is that, they have mastered the art, which in essence fulfills their destiny while I still soldier on with hard work in hand, and ambition right ahead. A wise man once said ‘Success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability rest will be just fine’. Inspired by my mentor at Shifa Clinical Research Center Islamabad, who I credit for my understanding of the sublime nature and cause of the term ‘research’, I wish to be on board as faculty at the institution in
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 32 million uninsured people will be insured by 2019. This will increase the volume of specimens and biopsies coming into pathology laboratories. Due to this increased volume, many large laboratories and hospitals will see a substantial increase in their revenue and hence increasing the demand for PAs. The low reimbursement rate of Affordable Care Act has forced many small labs to freeze hiring, lower salaries, and to even close. Furthermore, many small labs will lose business to larger labs further adding to the workload. This in turn may lead to a shift resulting in more PAs working in a much larger laboratory setting. It is the responsibility of these labs to evolve with the changes to make sure that the quality of the specimens and turnover time of frozen section specimens are not affected. Furthermore, we can anticipate an increase in physician visits due to Baby B...
I want to learn more about the medical field. I am very fascinated in the science aspects. You need to be attentive; sensitive to people’s needs and have a drive to address their needs in an utmost concerned manner. It is one of those jobs that require long working hours and often one must overlook one’s needs and cater to patients. I am a sensitive and very hard-working individual.
Growing up in rural Texas, you have to learn to care for the things that are important to you. There really is not much to entertain yourself with so many adolescents become vulnerable to trouble. Luckily for me, I grew up with the responsibilities that came with growing up on a farm. I had things to care for on a daily basis and for the longest time, the things I cared for most were animals. I exhibited livestock in my youth and this is where I spent the majority of my time. I would come home from football or basketball practice and go straight up to the barn to tend to my animals. Along with feeding and cleaning, I would often administer vaccinations and antibiotics when needed. Because of my interest in medicine and science coupled with my love for animals some could say that I was destined to become veterinarian. The major I chose, animal science, even supported that notion. However, it was not until the summer after my freshman year of undergraduate where I realized it was human medicine that my heart was yearning for.
...am also allows familiarity with common equipment and treatments, which is very necessary to students planning on going into the medical field. Exposure to different areas of medicine is very beneficial, as medical school does not initially emphasize on simply one specialization. I too would be a great asset to the program, as I am social, which is necessary to interact with patients, and I am responsible as well, which makes me eligible to handle expensive equipment that the hospital may own. Also, I do not get frightened at the sight of blood, which can potentially serve to be dangerous. The program also teaches certification in basic first aid skills, which are necessary regardless of what field a student may want to pursue. This program would be a great experience over the summer, and would also give me a chance to experience the life of medical field personnel.
I am Uniqua Parham and I am an enthusiastic person that is very interested in working in the healthcare industry. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in health science with a pre-physical therapy tract. I am currently in my final full time semester and this summer I will be taking my final course for my degree. I chose to become a physical therapist because I have wanted to work in healthcare for a long time, but I found out as a teenager that I am squeamish with other people’s blood. As a result, I chose a career path where I could still work in healthcare but deal with as little blood as possible.
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
Furthermore, I am interested in expanding the field of medicine through research. I began working with Dr. Tyrone Hayes after taking his e...
Like the growing shortages of primary-care doctors and nurses, the ranks of skilled lab workers are shrinking as well. Medical experts warn that this can pose a potential threat to the safety and quality of health care. Currently hospitals say it can take as long as a year to fill laboratory job openings. The American Society for Clinical Pathology, which certifies lab professionals, says average job-vacancy rates currently top 50% in some states. The contributions laboratory professionals make to patient care cannot be emphasized enough. Laboratory professionals have critical roles in patient care. Laboratory testing performed by skilled laboratory professionals is the foundation for most medical diagnoses and treatments. Thus, ensuring hospitals
Every day I went to work at the NYU laboratory or at Stevens Institute was an exhilarating and inspiring experience. I enjoyed the exposure of uncertainty in experiments that would arise in the lab multiple times throughout the weeks working in the facility. Nonetheless, the enigmatic feeling of coming across an innovative finding motivated me to work diligently. In my experience of working in the lab, I gratefully received training by the undergraduate students of my mentor, who were generous and elucidated me on how to follow the procedures in the lab and use the intricate equipment. Within a short time, I became adept with the intricate processes of the lab and was entrusted to carry on my own project independently.
I started to explore the different fields of medicine by working as a Medical Scribe in the Emergency Department, ER tech in Trauma Centers, getting involved in research, volunteering at hospitals and taking high level science classes. This will enhance my knowledge and experience i...
