If someone told me just five years ago when I was in high school that I would be going to one of the best colleges in New Jersey and taking classes in an effort to go to medical school, I would've said they were crazy. In fact, I'm not, nor have I ever been the student with a 4.0 GPA or near perfect standardized test scores. As a future candidate to medical school, I feel that this Research Associates Program will aid in my journey to becoming a doctor, by virtue of working with other people, interacting with patients, gathering data, and understanding how to accurately obtain valuable data. This program will only help me in achieving my goal of going to medical school. As an applicant to medical school, I believe that it is important to be able to articulate why you want to become a doctor. I have not gained enough first hand experience in the medical field up to this point, and that is how I came to apply to this program. Through a friend's recommendation, I began to research this program to see if it was right for me. The more I learned about it, the better I could envision myself as an RA at Hackensack. I want to interact with patients, make them feel better as being in the hospital can be a very rough …show more content…
Through family, I met students who were not able to get into medical school- despite having stellar grades. These were students who would work tirelessly and their hard work did not pay off for circumstances beyond their control. Hearing this, I knew I had no excuse. I knew that if I ever slacked off, there were countless students on the other side of the globe who were not as fortunate as me, but were still working harder than me. If you'd give me the honor of becoming a part of the team, you would get someone who will work harder than anyone else, is eager to come research at the hospital every day, and will use the experiences he'll learn in the future and pass it on to

Attending Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine’s would allow me to contribute to the mission of developing solutions to help residents of Washington. Whether it was developing innovative teaching methods in coaching or finding solutions to challenges faced in research, part of my personality is finding unique and innovative solutions to challenges I face. Through the school I would be able to work with rural medical offices and hospitals, in collaboration with the technology incubator, to develop technology that would make providing healthcare easier and more affordable.
University of California — San Francisco School of Medicine, located in San Francisco, was founded in 1864 as Toland Medical College, and in 1873, it joined the University of California. In order to apply for UCSF School of Medicine, a student needs to complete the required courses including one year of general chemistry with lab, minimum of a semester of organic chemistry, one year of physics with lab, and one year of general biology with lab or the study of vertebrate zoology. The student would be a better applicant if he or she attended a four-year university and obtained a baccalaureate degree. However, the minimum requirement is the completion of three years of college credit and it should be done by June of the year of entry. Also, Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) have to be taken by September of the year of entry.
“What are you even doing here? I have never seen such flawed technique in all my years as a choreographer.” The words echoed throughout the medical college auditorium. Impelled by the admonishment in front of my peers, I persevered in my endeavor to improve upon my dancing prowess and by the final year of medical school was leading the college dance team. The above mentioned undertaking further spawned an interest for the discipline of Latin Ballroom which lead to participation at the national level. The unwavering focus and persistence even in the face of unfavorable odds is more broadly reflective of my approach towards learning, both academic and extracurricular. This has been instrumental in achieving stellar academic outcomes including being ranked nationally in the top 0.0004 percent in the premedical test and the top 0.6 percent in the common aptitude test for management training.
Thus, the most influential reason I am striving to attend University of Michigan is the Health Sciences Scholars Program. This program includes classes that are specific to the health sciences, in comparison to classes at other universities that won’t satisfy my specific interests. The program provides a plethora of community service opportunities that allow students to actually make a difference in the community while also practicing skills needed in the field of health care. As a HSSP student I would be participating in professional observations, where I would be able to work with health care professionals while also being exposed to different careers. Many students aspiring to work in the health care field don’t have the opportunity to work with patients or doctors until they go to medical school, but I could accomplish this through HSSP during my freshman year. I can’t be a superhero without some prior experience after all. In comparison to other residential programs, such as Lyman Briggs at Michigan State, the Health Sciences Scholars Program at University of Michigan would provide me with the most opportunities to grow and pursue my passion for medicine and healing
I am applying to the Carver College of Medicine because of its commitment to meeting community needs and advancing medicine through research. Growing up in a rural Midwestern community with hundreds of uninsured residents has helped me to understand the importance of meeting community needs. Until 2010, emergency rooms were the primary source of medical care for many uninsured residents; therefore, concerned medical professionals opened the C.A.R.E. Clinic for the uninsured. As a 5 year clinic volunteer, I have witnessed the improvement of the mental and physical health of these hard working uninsured citizens. I also saw the success of medical professionals and community members coming together to solve an important problem. In addition, through organometallic and lupus research I learned the importance of critical questioning, hypothesizing, and analytical thinking. Refining these skills for patient diagnosis and medical advancement is essential to becoming a successful physician. Therefore, I believe the strong Medical Student Research program will give me this opportunity. I would be honored to work with physicians such as Dr. Bishop on intestinal diseases, because I have seen how IBD can decrease quality of life. Dr. Wehby’s work on the economics of healthcare is also fascinating to me as an economics major as it
George Washington Physician Assistant program will expand my knowledge in medicine, will challenge me to reason outside the box, critically analyze new concepts and ideas as well as convert my desire to
I believe that the medical profession is an important and valuable career field and it is very important to the society. I have been fascinated by the workings of life and the complexity of the human body ever since I was young and this has strengthen my philanthropic approach to life, in that I could be trained to help people get better. This, I consider rewarding. I have hoped to develop excellent skills, such as research, communication, teamwork and problem solving. I believe this program will give me the opportunity to further improve these skills and have great chances at professionalism.
For years, I would talk about how I would become a doctor not knowing what I wanted my specialty to be or how much work it required. It was when I discovered my love and patience for kids, that I decided on becoming a pediatrician just like my doctor. Over the past couple of years, I have come to continuously re-evaluate my career goals. I have found myself willing to choose a career path that is more involved in the care of children; my aspirations lead me towards becoming a pediatric surgeon. I am very eager to help children and the sooner I will be able to, the better. The skills that the Mini-Medical School Program can teach me will help to better accustomed me to a life centered around medicine and helping others. It can help launch me towards a life-long career of helping children medically. My interest in helping children stems from the fact that I could actually save children’s lives. Children that could grow up to lead healthy lives instead of letting their illnesses overcome them. In addition to aiding children medically, I would put my best efforts in trying to find a disease that I could help cure for them. It has also been a dream of mine to someday be able to cure a disease. If presented the opportunity to do so in the future, I would definitely accept in a heartbeat if it meant that I could help children become healthier or save their
When I was three years old, I could be found standing on fountains at the local mall and putting on concerts for passers by. Now, at 18 years old, the same joy I felt singing in the middle of a mall is what I feel crafting stories on stage and pursuing a character’s truth. Throughout the years, theatre has been an immensely important creative outlet for me, and the confidence I have found on stage has translated in my real life, making me a stronger person. As I pursue higher education in this field, I am excited at the prospect of continuing my studies at the University of Michigan, and being able to take advantage of all the opportunities I am so passionate about.
Honestly, I would like to pursue this Freshman Fellowship in the medical field because my main passion in life is to help people. My involvement in helping others ranges from being involved in Key Club by hosting a blood drive to collecting children's books for a local underprivileged public school or being a founding member of S.A.D.D (Students Against Destructive Decisions), were I talking to middle school students about the dangers of peer pressure and how to say no and bringing in a drunk driving simulator for high school students. Beyond school, I volunteer at Lakeland Regional Medical Center in the Emergency Department and helped out in Michigan's Winter Special Olympics. By performing research in the medical field it would allow me
The CRISSP program is not a program to be taken lightly. It is a program that could provide me with the insight to jump-start the rest of my professional endeavors. There are several reasons why I would like to attend this one-of-a-kind experience. One reason being that it will serve to develop my passion in the medical field by exposing me to hands on situations. I have always had a love for the sciences, especially biology. I think it is magnificent how technology has been a catalyst for the development of cures and treatments, yet there are still many medical enigmas. Also, by attending this program it will allow me to network with numerous seasoned professionals. Children`s Hospital of Philadelphia`s CRISSP program could put me in contact with a diverse group of people that share my same passion, any of which could potentially become an integral part of the advancement of my career. Finally, the program provides structured experiences such as research in state of the art laboratories and the ability to take part in upcoming discoveries. Every pre-medical student dreams of being able to take part in those exact
If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.
Next, science is the light that keeps us out of the dark ages. If science did not evolve, we would have many unanswered questions related to real life, die with terrifying diseases, and starve without hygiene and nutritious food. Because science has an impact on every aspect of our lives, I am eager in exploring this immense field of study and improve society through healthcare. When it comes to STEM field and school, on top of maintaining good GPA and grades, I devote my time well to my extracurriculars. Starting 7th grade, my passion for opting the medical field has strengthened due to my influential pediatrician. This enhanced drastically as I started gaining many volunteering and shadowing experiences throughout high school. As a freshman, I started taking advantage of majority of the opportunities around me like joining HOSA (Health Occupations Students Of America), Steminism, NHS, UPMC Passavant, Senior Living Facility. Covering a wide range of areas in healthcare-- volunteering/shadowing a geriatrician, pharmacist, nurse, surgeon and more-- solidified my aspiration. However, when I think about the medical field, clinical is not the only side. Research plays a huge role in medicine because without this, we would have inadequate knowledge about science and also would not have access to all these sophisticated treatments. Bayer School Scholars Program is a great opportunity for students like me to
True-born caring person, with an open heart, and a deep sensation of satisfaction after helping people. I was less than 10 years old when my mother used to call me “ the mother of the family” because I was already caring for my siblings, making myself available to those in need.
