The journey to obstetrics-gynecology began with my deep interest in women's health and has
developed through intellectual stimulation, clinical satisfaction and personal inquisitiveness.
Throughout my classroom years in medical school, I developed a keen sense that I wanted to
further my passion through a career in obstetrics-gynecology.
My interest began during my internship year at Ain Shams University. My 2-months rotation at
the university was exciting as I learned how to take full obstetric history, do full examinations

particularly recall an experience with a 32 year old woman that was in labor, she had not

in OB/GYN gave me tremendous mental and physical stamina and taught me to think on my feet
and remain focused under stressful conditions. Iordered appropriate diagnostic tests and labs and
reviewed results, performed normal vaginal deliveries 10/day, performed D&C operations 2/day,

antenatal and postnatal care; every day was an opportunity to learn something new. I am inspired
to be an OB/GYN doctor so I can give contraceptive advice to young girls, treat infertility cases,
manage women with medical conditions through their pregnancy and help elderly women
through menopause and incontinence.
Furthermore, I also want to be a surgeon. I enjoy being in the operating room, doing manual
skills and making the right decisions. In this field, one is faced with acute emergencies and
judgments made can affect the outcome for both mother and baby. I am definitely willing to
embrace this challenge and give my best.
In conclusion, my one year obstetrics-gynecology residency program enabled me impact the
lives of women and it was an honor for me because a woman with good health practices

For me, the operating room is an exhilarating environment where personal skill, diverse techniques, and technology are utilized to improve the well-being of patients suffering from acute gynecologic conditions. Surgery is also intellectually

In recent years, midwifery and obstetrics have become two of the most prominent and primary ways of care for women of childbearing age in comparison to unassisted births and other documented methods.

As of today there has been a rise in how many births are attended by nurse midwives

The contributors in the abortion debate not merely have definitely-fixed beliefs, but every group has a self-designated designation that plainly reflects what they consider to be the necessary issues. On one side, the pro-choice supporters see personal choice as fundamental to the debate: If a woman cannot decide to end an unnecessary pregnancy, a state which affects her body and perhaps her whole life, then she has lost one of her most fundamental human rights (Templeton 2011). These supporters
In “Sicko,” Michael Moore presents the flaws of America’s health care system that has been in continuous debate for many years. Despite the government’s obligation to help people, there are nearly 46 million Americans without any health care coverage, because they either are not able to support such costs or have been rejected by the health insurance companies. Thus, Moore claims that because America’s current health care system is incompetent and morally corrupt, the federal government should provide
