Recommended: Doctor is my Career

After 5 weeks of volunteering of Zarephath Health Center, I have gained much knowledge not just about clinical health care, but of the lives of different people in the New Jersey. First and foremost, being immersed in the field of health care at Zarephath has really given me an appreciation of the everyday tasks of Doctors—from the mundane to the intriguing. Many of the patients who come to Zarephath for care simply need a prescription, but others come in with various aches and pains. I have gained an appreciation for the way Doctors run tests and carefully analyze symptoms to provide a proper diagnosis. It is almost like solving a mystery; I am excited to learn about all types of diseases and their signs if/when I go to medical school, beyond

    In the beginning of my senior year I was eager to expand my understanding of how it would be to work in a hospital. An opportunity arose allowing me to volunteer in the hospital at the University of Chicago. I was able to volunteer at the children's playroom, which consisted of a weekly commitment. The daily tasks I had to perform where to enlighten the spirits of children and reduce the amount of anxiety that developed within them when they approached a hospital visit. I would play games, read books, or just company the patients at their bedside. I especially love to interact with the younger patients because their laughter and innocence warms my heart up.

Medically underserved communities involve racial minorities, offenders and ex-offenders, crime or abuse victims, LGBTQ citizens, people with AIDS, and those that are economically disadvantaged. I was born in the small town of Monroeville, AL. It is a great town but it does not have the best resources when it comes to health care. Most members of this town, including my family, would bypass the hospital there and go to the one in the next town simply because they feel

    Screech!!! The bus’ brakes scream upon stopping. I look up to see buildings that look like stone and marbled statuses. The buildings stood tall with tan shiny finishes. The grass was too green to be true and the atmosphere felt like home to me. I had embarked upon a journey that I never thought would be. I was here, here at Emory School of Medicine. Numerous of people walking around with white doctor coats, teal scrubs, and soft colorful crocs. I was a part of an elite group of about thirty high school students, who would soon be a part of Emory’s School of Medicine mentoring program, called Emory School of Medicine Pipeline Program. This program introduced intercity students, such as myself, to the world of medicine. This inspired students to become future medical doctors, nurses, and other medical professions.

    534 Words  | 2 Pages

    “We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line.” There is more to being a great physician than having intellect, clinical experience, and competence in the medical field. A doctor must be daring and genuinely driven to positively impact a patient’s life. A doctor needs stand tall, even in the face of uncertainty.

    While maintaining environmental awareness, Medshare truly strives to provide healthcare to developing communities in need around the world. In addition to providing tools and equipment, Medshare strives to educate and send Medical Mission Teams to the countries that they work with in order to maintain consistent medical care for the people of that region. Alone, knowing that the work that we were doing held true significance behind the health of an individual I will never meet was incredible. The experience of working at Medshare was quite humbling, I am currently less than an hour away from the nearest hospital and have access to immediate care when necessary whereas the people that Medshare serves have limited if any access to medical assistance. As cliche as it may sound, I often overlook how fortunate I am to have access to educated healthcare professionals within the United States. Volunteering at Medshare simply furthered my longing to work in the medical field, while also opening my eyes to the work that I could potentially do internationally. Although the work that we did seemed so insignificant, but the impact that it will have on others lives is quite

    I had the opportunity to pick several different cites to complete our volunteer assignment. In the course of completing the hours, some of them I did on my own and others where done with few students. As new nurses, it is essential that we interact and be involved within our communities. I believe being involved in one’s community is important and will help make us aware of the different cultures and subcultures that surround us. Not only with this will help give us a better understanding about people in our community, but will also make us more compassionate, knowledgeable, and prepared for differences that we may or may not have experienced during our everyday lives.

  • My Pursuit of and Passion For Medicine

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

These later visits gave a more dynamic view of the medical profession by exposing me to different types of doctors, many illnesses, and diverse patients. More recently, I was gained from while shadowing an internist. Moreover, in addition to becoming more comfortable in the healthcare setting, I had discussions with patients about their health and get to know patients personally. While accompanying relatives to appointments and shadowing, I noticed the confidence bestowed in the doctors by my family members as they were treated in the emergency room, had surgeries, and went for wellness checkups. I admired this trust and was inspired to be someone that people can entrust with their health. Through these experiences with my family and shadowing, I recognized how I could be of benefit to a team of healthcare professionals as a doctor to treat those like my

This has always been my belief, and these two values are especially appreciated in healthcare when they are sometimes all you can give to a struggling resident, peer, or friend. I was given the opportunity through my shop, Sports Medicine/Allied Health Careers at Lenape Tech and the Armstrong County Memorial Hospital’s partnership program, to volunteer this past year and get a glimpse inside the daily life of the hospital staff, and I now have a new appreciation, not just for the nurses and physicians, but for all those dedicated men and women that have chosen to go into healthcare and spend their nights and days helping those
