Because I feel that my passion for healthcare can thrive only in a multifarious environment, Washington University in St. Louis is the best choice for me. For as long as I can remember, I have yearned for a career in medicine. Through keen observation of my surroundings, I have managed to develop a storage of great medicinal value. Those surroundings, however, were not ones found in a quotidian household; my entire family is concocted of doctors, specialized in almost every field of medicine.

Not only are my parents in the field of health, but also are my brothers. My father is a consultant otolaryngologist, so those regular winter colds never lasted long. My mother, whom I see as a role model and inspiration, is a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, dedicated to helping women. The elder of my two brothers is a plastic surgeon, while the younger is a dentist. Because I had a very medicinal family, the esoteric field of healthcare was no longer an enigma to me. One by one, I began my submersion into medicine by accompanying my mother to her daily clinic. Keenly observing her w...

  • Case Study: Why Georgetown University School Of Medicine

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am excited to be submitting my application to Georgetown University School of Medicine, as this school’s mission and values reflect my own beliefs on the role of a physician. I believe that there is no fixed template to healthcare; medicine and health will vary across time, regions, and individuals, and as future physicians, it is crucial for us to recognize that. While standard science education is certainly critical, a broadened approach that draws on other knowledge and our own life experiences is just as essential to delivering quality healthcare. I believe that Georgetown Medical School’s tradition of “Cura Personalis” and its

    Many years ago there was a small boy who was woken by a loud scream. Terrified, he ran from his room to find his mother unconscious on the floor. His little sister was screaming as he pulled his mom onto her back in desperation. In reality, he didn’t know what to do to save her and his helplessness was due to his lack of knowledge. She passed away that night. That boy was me. Our past defines us no matter how we protest; it can either pull you down into failure or lift you up towards success. From then on, I was drawn to medical sciences and used that helplessness to motivate my education.

    Question Quote "I doubt that these experiences are unique to the hospitals or the medical school at which I have thus far trained. I expect that they pervade health care systems throughout the country.

    After spending almost four years at Temple University as an undergraduate, the idea of continuing my education at Temple University School of Medicine more than intrigues me. Throughout my undergraduate career at Temple, I have made the effort to get involved in the Temple community and have enjoyed the connections and relationships that I have created with Temple faculty, staff, and students. Beginning in my freshman year as an executive board member of the 1300 Residence Hall Senate and continuing with my current involvement in AMSA and employment in the Office of Pre-Professional Health Studies, I have interacted with various members of the Temple administration and found that each of them are willing to go out of their way to help me and continue to challenge me to accomplish the goals that I have set for myself. In addition, other students at Temple have enhanced my learning experience through group study as well as opened my eyes to a variety of diverse cultures and points of view. As a result of these encounters, I believe that remaining the Temple family will be beneficial in my medical education.

    I had known for years that I wanted to work in the health care field, but I always believed it would be as a doctor. I watched for the first few years of my brother’s life as he struggled with different health challenges such as being born premature, having croup and breathing difficulty, and speech impairment. Watching my brother struggle and then being able to overcome these difficulties, as well as seeing other children around him who were not as fortunate, really pushed me even at a young age to make a difference. My family, both immediate and extended, were very supportive, and I felt a real positive push towards working hard to achieve that goal of working in health care. In high school, I was fortunate enough to do a cooperative placement at the Peterborough Regional Health Center’s Intensive Care Unit. Through observing rounds and being in the medical setting, I truly knew this is where I wanted to

    Reminiscing over the conversation, I considered the implications of a career in family medicine.

  • Personal Narrative: My Trip To Haiti

    775 Words  | 2 Pages

    The empathy and compassion I felt with my family while growing up helped nurture me into a very kind-spirited but strong person. It’s a trait that I am thankful for but sometimes hesitant to show to not be taken advantage of. My mother often used to say that I am more like her than I am like my father we’re very passionate and spicy, but when we’re needed we often never fail to give to others. I always knew since the tender age of seven that I wanted to become a doctor to help save others. Most people end up changing their careers as they get older but I only became more specific of what kind of doctor I wanted to be. Most of my family members are Certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, or registered nurses. I know they worked hard to get the education and requirements to be in those fields which is big since half of them came to America without finishing high school in Haiti. However, I want to become the first doctor in my close family and not settle for less. I want to be the first to break the mold and be different. I know that the conditions they grew up in was not the same as mine, but I owe it to them for all the hard work and ambition they showed, and instilled in me to aim for the sky and to always keep
