Anesthesiologist Personal Statement

Many people see having a food allergy as a damper on life and a restriction on one's diet. I do not see it that way. I see it as an attribute to me that has helped define the person that I am. I often wonder what it would feel like to sit down at a restaurant and order any meal off the menu. But then again, I will never be able to do that because my food allergy is part of who I

I’m a current surgical technologist student at Robert Morris University and I’m also pursuing my bachelors degree while in the surgical technology program. I have taken many science classes that have prepared me for the program and have completed two quarters of surgical technologist classes and labs.

I had the privilege to shadow a Rad. Tech at Newton Piedmont Hospital. Upon my arrival the Rad. Tech showed me the equipment along with a few scans from the past of healthy breast tissue as well as tissue that has been mutated in some way. She allowed me to look at the scans as they came up and determine if they looked healthy or had a mutation in some shape or form.

Throughout my life people have commented that I should be in a profession that worked with people. Upon completing high school, I was not certain exactly what I wanted to do. I was interested in working with people but I determined that my dislike for blood and other unpleasant things dissuaded me from those type of careers. I chose Engineering as I though my interest in math and science would be a good fit. I found that what I enjoyed most were the projects, labs and working as a team. It was missing the direct involvement of helping people. I had often thought of dental hygiene as I enjoyed my visits to the dentist office and we have family friends that are both dentists and dental hygienists. I started to research what other options

My whole life, it has been apparent to those around me that I would be a dentist. I am highly inquisitive, passionate, compassionate, experienced, and I love teeth. I remember getting so excited to have my teeth cleaned as a child because my trips to the dentist were so much fun! At a young age, my mother instilled the importance of oral hygiene care. To this day, I wonder if it was the dentist, dental hygienist, or just the dental office ambiance that had me engaged as a young child. Almost immediately after graduating high school, I went to school to become a registered dental assistant and at that point, I figured out that I possess good manual dexterity, which is a fundamental skill to be efficient in the dental field. At the same time, I unlocked the key to my calling, passion. Six years later, I realized I had the potential to

My biggest issues with this choice of career is the irregular working hours and involvement with ill people. Physician Assistant, however, offers more pros, such as the values of achievement, independence, recognition, close working relationships, and support. In an expansion upon these pros; the value of achievement allows me to use my best abilities to result in a feeling of accomplishment. The independent value shows that I can make decisions on my own, and recognition satisfies my need for prestige and leadership opportunities, as well as advancement. It’s offers the chance to pursue close co-worker relationships and provides me an opportunity to work for a company that stands behind their workers and would have competent, considerate, and fair management. All these values have undoubted importance to

The journey to embrace the speciality of anesthesiology has been ecstatic and full of fond memories. It was not until the end of my internship that I finally developed a passion in anesthesiology and the field of critical care. I soon realized that with my zeal for clinical anatomy, command over concepts of physiology, dexterity in medical procedures and empathetic connection to my patients, this speciality would be an ideal match. In my opinion, anesthesiology demands a physicians ability to consolidate the core principles of clinical medicine with the knowledge of basic science principles delicately balanced with high standards of ethical code and conduct. I am confident that with my depth of knowledge, passion for clinical research as well

I come from a small rural town nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. My hometown is split down the middle by a set of railroad tracks. On the north side, one can find pristine neighborhoods, newer schools, most doctors’ offices, and the only hospital in town. The south side of the town stands as a stark contrast. On the south side, you no longer find the wealthy neighborhoods but rather dilapidated and condemned homes and housing projects. One seems to find abandoned buildings on every corner, many inhabited by those that have lost their homes. Limited help is coming for those who need it, mostly through churches and volunteer programs targeting the underserved. Many doctors, dentists, and nurses are giving their time and resources to help

When I think of medicine I think of diversity. The medical field contains a multiplicity of individuals, culture, and exchange; exposure to the Guatemalan culture offers a plethora of experience that allows me to build on personal growth, educational enhancements, and the opportunity to make a difference. The availability of this program through the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine is a blessing as well as a prayer answered for the prospect to experience the world beyond the borders of the United Stares.

After more than five years of the completion the economic bachelor degree and uncompleted Master degree, now I am pursuing a totally new career, Dental Hygiene, even though I never thought about before. My life was driven around the social trends without thinking of what I really wanted. Now I have chances to pursue my aspirations; I have idea of doing something that I can help people, devolve my life to society. In my country, the science and technology is not modern enough to provide residents the best knowledge about the importance of oral hygiene. Those students like me can appropriate the most modern technologies to help our people. It is so amazing that Dental Hygienists can provide valuable services whereas building the trustworthy connections with patients. As a result, I chose dental hygiene as the foundation for my health profession since.

I was born on February 14, 1993 in the city of La Vega, Dominican Republic. I came to New York at the age of 10. The fact that my first language is Spanish placed me at a disadvantage from the minute I stepped a foot in the United States since even at the airport I was not able to communicate with the agent. My biggest struggle was school since the class was taught in English only and most of my classmates only spoke English. Despite my efforts to give it my all to learn the language and adapt to the customs of this unfamiliar place, it seemed to be a challenge I would never overcome. Since my parents and close family members mostly spoke Spanish as well, they could not help me, they only encouraged me to study and read a lot so that I would learn the language faster. I wanted to fit in with kids of my age and to understand when

After taking care of my children and teaching them for more than 12 years as well as earning my GED in October 2013, I finally had the chance to go to college for the first time in my life at the young age of 40. Besides being a first generation immigrant, I also became the first of my father’s ten children to attend college when I registered as a student at Wayne County Community College in January 2014. After earning my Associates Degree in Science in May of 2016 and my Pharmacy Tech Certificate in August of 2016, as well as my Central Service Tech Certificate in May of 2017 I still have two main goals to accomplish in the next 2 years as a student at WCCCD: 1) Earn admission into WCCCD Dental Hygienist Program by July 2017 – application

This year has went by so fast! However, it was much more stressful with board exams vastly approaching, it was also easier now that I was in the swing of things. I don’t’ think twice when picking up a gracey, muscle memory just knows what to do! Although I am not perfect, I believe I am a safe beginner to practice in a dental office. This brings me great joy! As I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time. I’m so thankful to have had this experience, although it was not an easy one. I feel incredibly blessed to have been taught by the best, in such a well-organized clinic. I’m in awe with the patience the instructors have had with me, and my classmates as we learned what to prioritize and made personal improvements. In a strange way I will miss the pressure of school.
