I put on the lead apron and walked into the operating room. I was shadowing an interventional radiologist, and although I was just watching the procedure, I was nervous. What if I faint? What if I get queasy during the surgery and have to walk out? These questions filled my mind with diffidence. But as I stood there, just a few feet from a doctor carefully maneuvering a catheter around the vasculature of the patient’s brain, I had never been more intrigued and excited. My feelings of self-doubt washed away as a flood of fascination and curiosity came over me. I watched as the doctor skillfully pulled the blockage out of the women’s brain and place it on a tray next to me. The enormity of the procedure was not lost on me. Sitting next to me …show more content…
With the understanding that this program will give me the skills of a specialized clinical researcher through elective courses such as neuropharmacology, as well as hands on experience through internships in the medical science field, I am excitably seeking admittance. One goal I wish to accomplish while studying at Quinnipiac University is to work for one of the world’s premier biopharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer. I have worked in a veterinary lab for the past three years, and I recognize that a potential flaw in my previous medical school application was that I did not have the amount of human-medicine related clinical experience that the institutions which I was applying to were looking for. I believe that this hands-on experience, coupled with the medical laboratory science programs rigorous coursework, will properly prepare me to apply and gain admittance to, the medical school of my choice. Through the medical laboratory science program at Quinnipiac University I believe that I can further hone my skills as a researcher, while demonstrating my devotion and ability to excel in the field of medical science. With a degree from Quinnipiac University I will be able to enhance my credentials and display my readiness for matriculation into medical
In addition, this school has a nationally recognized research facility. My research experience has enabled me to think like a scientist. I plan to continue doing research in medical school. I believe that by attending here, I will have a chance to use my research knowledge to advance medical and scientific knowledge
I am writing to express my interest in serving as a course developer for the College of Health and Human Services at Penn State. I have been developing and teaching courses online since 2005 and have held academic appointments at the University of Pittsburgh, Wayne State University and Virginia Tech. University. I am certified in instructional design through Indiana University and my areas of specialization are social psychology, human development, health and wellness and multi-cultural education.
I admire how the university allows students to spend their first two years taking various general courses in the College of LSA that help them decide on a future that is fitting for them. Although confident I want to continue my education in the College of Pharmacy, I will have two years to determine if I am interested in pursuing a PharmD, PhD in pharmaceutical sciences or another alternative path. What appealed to me that most schools do not have is Michigan’s REU Program that allows undergraduate students to have research opportunities to help advance them early in their college careers. I also look forward to gaining practical experience and clinical experience if enrolled. The College of LSA and the College of Pharmacy are both conveniently located on Central Campus, close to the heart of the social and educational scenes. Being able to take classes and live in the most inhabited part of campus allows me to get involved more easily, while everything is at the tip of my
The University of Pennsylvania presents its students with a plethora of possibilities that are unavailable at other schools. Not only does UPenn offer prestige and strong academics, but also a close-knit residential life and a beautiful campus. Moreover, UPenn’s low student-teacher ratio highly appeals to me, for small classes provide more cohesiveness and intimacy than large classes, thus enabling me to excel in my academic studies. The college of arts and sciences provides a interdisciplinary approach to the classic liberal arts education. Gives me strong foundation for medical school. Unique curriculum structure which allows students to customize their education. UPenn also has many benefits that pertain to the major I wish to enter—biochemistry—including
After graduation, I joined the laboratory of Dr. Alan Schechter in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases as a NIH Postbaccalaureate Fellow. Although I was ready to pursue doctoral studies after undergraduate, my experience at NIH has prepared me as a person, not only as a student. I have the confidence to weigh choices and make the right decision. Through the guidance of my PI, a clinical mentor, I always hear in the back of my mind “so, how does this relate [to humans]?”. I know how to get stakeholders of a project onboard and keep them on board while on budget and on time. Being open to others’ suggestions and ideas from differing viewpoints and backgrounds, I know how to ask for help, receive help, and
I have also looked into clinical research at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania through an inquiry form outlining my interests. This has the ability to match me to various laboratories. This was not an official application, but my information has been passed along to faculty mentors at the Hospital.
From paper-editing in the Carroll Science Building, the offices in the BSB to help students prepare for medical school, and the continuous support of professors, it is clear that the Baylor community will assist me in any way I need. Being a top-ranked research university, Baylor also has many opportunities for undergraduates to assist in research. I never thought that I would be interested in research until I witnessed actual labs at Baylor from laparoscopy to neuroscience; they made me consider the endless experiences it could
Particularly, Denise informed us that Henry Ford will pay for a graduate degree for their employees at any institution of their choosing. As I hear stories from those who have been through all kinds of different laboratory experiences, a master’s degree in Biomedical Laboratory Operations and eventually a Ph.D. in Pathology has become more appealing to me. Using the knowledge that I have learned from working at Henry Ford in addition to their tuition reimbursement, working at Henry Ford could grant me ample opportunity to pursue my long terms of lifelong learning. For these many reasons including financial and academic stability, Henry Ford Health Systems will be my number one and only choice of placement for the clinical practicum portion of my
With my strong background in research, I truly appreciate Temple 's effort to create a well-rounded student, with not just clinical experience, but opportunity scientific exploration. I have worked in several research labs, creating and
Unlike other Ivy League schools in Boston, Boston University’s biochemical and medical program proved me that I have to be a part of this university’s undergraduate program. I strongly believe that Boston University is a home to
Since I started at Sinclair Community College, I knew that I wanted to carry on to a four-year institute where I would utilize the skills I developed at Sinclair. Since then, I have excelled in the Veterinary Technician Program and found a calling to work while I attend a four-year institute. Receiving a job with MedVet Hilliard contingent upon my graduation from Sinclair has shaped my perspective on my college path. I was accepted to the Ohio State University and have every intent to maintain an excellent GPA as I pursue a Double Major in Molecular Genetics and Zoology. With the Double Major, I hope to utilize my RVT licensing and double major to work in a clinical laboratory where I can pursue a Master’s and PhD to become a Research Scientist.
I am Bhagee Ganesan, a rising junior in New Albany High School’s Class of 2017. I am an innately curious person and intend to pursue a degree in biology, especially in molecular genetics or neuroscience. My college choices are still open, but I am considering Johns Hopkins, Harvard University, Duke University, OSU, Case Western, and NEOMED at Kent State. I hope to major in molecular genetics or neuroscience and be a part of the research to discover and refine the molecular basis of inherited diseases at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard or at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s satellite lab, Janelia, in Virginia. I would also like to take personalized medical treatment development in the field of genomic medicine to the next level. I
“Yale is the place that endowed me with the confidence and the grand scope of the world that a young designer needed to excel and make a difference in the real world.” – Yansong Ma. Yale University (M.Arch ’02).
As I embark on a career in medicine, I want to select the right institution to prepare me for all hurdles that medicine throws at you. Off all the institutions in the nation, I have to decided to apply to UW-Madison for a plethora of reasons. From all that I have heard and through my thorough research, it is evident that Madison has so much to offer for me. Not only does Madison offer so many opportunites for my intended major, but for my wide range of interests not involving my major.
I could see the complete shock followed by worry on my mother’s face, as the doctor presented the results of my head scan. As a child, I was considered the accident-prone type. The words “be careful” were always shortly followed by “too late” in my vocabulary. From bruises, and cuts, to various surgeries, I became a frequent visitor to the doctor’s office. However, this doctor’s visit was different, as I received a head scan due to an accident in the shower. Sure enough, I had a concussion, my third to be exact (the other two gifted during adolescence). Though this isn’t what caused my mother’s face of worry, it was the words that came after. “You also appear to have a meningioma,” stated the doctor. These words that the doctor said almost
