Statement Of Purpose: Georgetown University School Of Medicine

Succeeding in medical school will require a tremendous amount of perseverance and passion. No one gets into medical school without demonstrating perseverance and overcoming the challenges that occur throughout the journey. I have persevered through being denied admission during a previous application cycle and throughout difficult coursework while pursuing a master’s degree. Not only did I overcome the challenges that I faced, but excelled academically, at my job, and in extracurricular activities. By continuing to pursue my dream I was exposed to numerous experiences and underwent significant personal development. I understand that medical school will present very difficult material and more frequent challenges, but my goal is to be a physician

I am interested in Emory’s School of Medicine MD program mainly impart to their commitment to train physicians to serve the community. I believe community involvement as a physician is key to diminish health inequalities where they initially develop. In addition, Emory’s emphasis towards understanding the biopsychosocial conditions of each patient will be vital in honing in on an accurate diagnosis and tailoring my approach as a physician to accommodate these factors while meeting their needs.

When my interest and desire to become a physician went underway during my Junior year of undergrad, I had the desire to attend a medical school that I would fit into well, obtain a great medical education, and enjoy the years that I would spend at the school. I wanted to find a school that I could use my diverse skills to improve not only the student body and community, but also my life by being at a school with a similar vision as I have for myself. When researching universities that would fit this mold I came across Morehouse School of Medicine. After researching the school's mission and goals, I felt that I fit into the mold of a diverse individual looking for a nurturing environment where I could gain an effective medical education. The

Just as the institution is eager to continue embracing the ever-changing world of healthcare and medicine, I too embody this same distinguishing characteristic. Throughout my undergraduate experiences I have learned in order to be a steward and servant of the medical profession one must exercise teamwork, service, empathy, accountability, and optimism; all of which coincide with the tenets that are declared by the Meharry Medical College, School of Medicine culture. Attending this medical school would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation and persistence. I know for certain there would be no greater experience than to be a part of the Meharry Medical College

Poor first-generation college students are underrepresented in medicine, despite their wealth of experiences giving them a unique and significant perspective into the challenges of patients. Even through tireless work and perseverance they may be only a few steps away from achieving their dreams. I am one of those students and I intend to become a physician. My interest in the ABLE Program is rooted in two main reasons. First, its focus on disadvantaged students. Second, ABLE aligns with my long-term goal of service to underserved communities across Michigan.

Studying at a liberal arts college, I learned not only about biomedical sciences, but also about a wide range of classes, such as math, computer, language, history, music, which prepares me to live a meaningful and passionate life, instead of merely to earn a living. Thus, I really appreciate Geisel’s “complete physician” education. At Geisel, besides mastering my textbooks, I will have the opportunities to really learn how to

As I mentioned in my personal statement, I am in pursuit of a quality education and here, I share a few reasons why I believe the Yale School of Medicine will provide me with what I seek. Firstly, I am interested in the Yale School of Medicine because I will be groomed for success in my long-term goals at this institution. I believe this because the school’s mission involves educating and inspiring medical scholars as well as future leaders. As an aspiring physician, I do not plan to use the knowledge I will gain in medical school solely in my practice of medicine. I intend to also use that knowledge to pilot positive changes in the practice of obstetric medicine in Nigeria. Consequently, I know that attending this institution will not only teach me to be a scholar in the field of medicine but also a leader.

As a resident of Maryland for the past six years I have grown to love the culture and diversity of the greater Washington area. This community has been supportive of my education and has been a great place to live. I have had the opportunity to volunteer in multiple capacities and would love to continue to do that through my medical education and beyond. The unique methods that George Washington uses in its education of physicians also attracts me to the institution. The learning communities is something that is unique in medical education where small groups of students come together to work through curriculum and perform other activities in the community. The number of track programs available is also a key reason I want to attend your school.

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

With a mission devoted to providing an unparalleled medical education to students, focused upon continuous learning, holistic care and promotion of service to disadvantaged and underserved groups, I believe Meharry Medical College School of Medicine can provide me with a rich medical experience that will lend itself well to my development as both a medical student and aspiring physician.

The curriculum provides a solid science foundation through the foundation of medicine course that emphasizes genetics, pathophysiology, etc. However, instead of simply learning the material, I want to be able to apply it, so I am prepared for my clinical rotations. The integration into clinical concepts taught in small groups led by faculty is what distinguishes this program from other PA programs. Therefore, George Washington’s curriculum fits my learning style perfectly because when I joined small peer groups for physiology and biochemistry during my undergraduate career, I retained more information and learned how to apply it to various scenarios helping me excel on the tests. Therefore, this course provided throughout the didactic portion will allow me to apply the knowledge first through case studies, and then as a

I have chosen to apply to the Georgetown University School of Medicine because I feel that my experiences and goals closely align with Georgetown University’s mission and values. The Jesuit ideals are incredibly important to me, specifically cura personalis. Having already been immersed in the Jesuit traditions as an undergraduate at Loyola University Chicago, I have learned to look at life through the philanthropic lens of a Jesuit, and I have learned to become a person for others. Further, I have been humbled by my volunteering experiences and have discovered the importance of using my time and resources to help others who are not as fortunate. For example, while volunteering with Gentiva Hospice and spending time with patients who had minimal days left to live, I felt like I was giving back even if it was something small like sitting by their bedside holding their hand or offering words of encouragement. Seeing a patient smile or feel more comfortable after something I had done taught me the impact I can have, and how

I would be honored to enroll at the WMU homer Stryker M.D School of Medicine because of the school’s dedication to educating physicians through community outreach and commitment to lifelong learning. After volunteering for the past five years at the C.A.R.E. Clinic for the uninsured, I understand the need to serve uninsured Americans. Therefore, I want my medical school experience to incorporate opportunities to serve this population at locations such as the Family Health Center. In addition, the community health rotation would allow me to continue my commitment to the under and uninsured

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.
