I realize that my most impactful development occurs in education when my determination as a student is complimentary to the university’s efforts to teach. Beginning my education at a community college, I master my learning ability by focusing on teaching and how to learn each subject most efficiently. Coming to Boulder with an Associate’s Degree, I realized how much more I am able to do with more resources and mentors. Leading research, becoming a learning assistant and challenging myself in courses taught me how much I can learn from an eclectic student body and faculty. To continue expanding and learning, I aspire to challenge myself academically and gain diverse clinical experience as part of UCSF’s MD/PhD Program. The Tetrad Program is designed for students, like myself, that want to expand their interdisciplinary research and collaboratively lead discoveries in medicine. By recognizing the benefits of a researcher’s and a clinician’s perspectives, I hope to develop both viewpoints as an MD/PhD …show more content…
I aspire to perform Nobel Peace Prize winning research while providing compassionate care to my patients. Having both a researcher’s and a physician’s perspectives, I am motivated to bridge the gap between science and medicine by educating patients about their condition and treatment options in appropriate detail. As Albert Einstein said, “[I]f you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” Being trained as a leader of both science and medicine at UCSF, my understanding will allow me to teach any patient and provide their right to educated healthcare decisions. With my balance of clinical work and research currently, I am excited to go to work every day since each day brings a new learning experience. Attending UCSF would transform my dream into my reality and keep this excitement in my life as I progress as a leader of academic

The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum
During my internship, I had a patient newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He and his family came from a rural area and did not have enough knowledge about the disease. Seeing that, I took the time to educate them about his condition and the details of his care.A year later I received a phone call from this patient’s family thanking me for what I did, and consulting me for a minor illness that he encountered at that time. Although they knew I was a junior doctor, they have valued my opinion. I felt appreciated and exhilarated to experience such a satisfying moment. Learning medicine in Sudan was challenging, being in a country with a culturally diverse population and limited resources doctors are confronted countless times by the lack of diagnostics, medications and even hospital beds. Therefore, patient care necessitates sharp physicians who rely on their fierce clinical sense. Throughout the years I realized how important it is for a physician to build such a firm clinical background. It is stunning how minor changes in clinical signs and symptoms could lead to different interpretations from one patient to another. Every case was challenging and mysterious, nonetheless I incredibly enjoyed the intellectual stimuli and the excitement of solving clinical puzzles and interacting with patients. Additionally, I believe I have an inquisitive nature, and I resolved to take on the intellectual challenges offered. This along with my intense passion will guide me to
I have learned from my experience that there is no better place in this world other than this country to learn about new cases or to do a research project or to avail the best treatments to my patients.With the latest technologies and rare cases found here, I wish to pursue my career as an internist in the United States.I have many attributes to contribute to Internal Medicine.My family has taught me the values of hardwork,honesty,dedication and commitment to goals.I am a critical thinker and problem solver and I will deliver all these to my residency program.Each patient is a educator for me and this teaching attracts me to academics and I look forward to being part of an institution that provides a healthy learning environment based on open
My passion for medicine is something deeper than a mere interest in learning the extraordinary functions of the human body. I am completely fascinated to learn gross anatomy, histology, pathology, and the complete medical school curriculum. However, I am more captivated by how the knowledge I will gain in medical school will allow me to perform the lifesaving procedures that physicians are able execute. Although, medicine is not always ideally as I have written, I believe that as a physician I would use my knowledge and my experiences to provide the best holistic care to my patients. My culture, my experiences, and my education will bring a different perspective to the medical field. I aspire to have the ability and knowledge to save a child that might not live, to save a woman that suffers a heart stroke, and to even provide the necessary treatment for a child with a mere cold. Additionally, participating in the Loma Linda Gateway to the Health
A career in medicine is not only a career in treating illness, but also a career in education and research. During the next year I plan to continue working with Dr. Alexander Morden in his medical practice as I have for the past year. Working with Dr. Morden has taught me more about the medical profession than any other experience that I have had. Through observation of physician patient interactions and performing my functional duties as a medical secretary, I am constantly exposed to new medical terminologies,treatment regimes, pharmacology, and most importantly, patients. I have also been introduced to the importance of medical billing, coding, and practice management. I intend to enhance my role at the office by training to become a medical
The FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine's promise of a nurturing environment in addition to its mission, vision and values symbolizes an institution that strongly resonates with my own personal goals as a future physician whose qualities are guided by the background of research, efficiency, and community involvement. The concept that structures a successful research are the fundamentals that apply to medicine, beginning with a theory, prediction, experimentation and finally observation; fundamentals realized and understood throughout my undergraduate year. On my first day, my research advisor said that I should strive for excellence and I should not be halted by the failures I may experience, instead, learn from those failures and adapt. Keeping this ideology in mind I was able to assist my team towards the completion of our project.
As an undergraduate, I gained invaluable hands-on clinical experience working for the University Health Services Clinic. I was able to directly interact with the patients, listen to their concerns, take their vitals, and network with nurses, practitioners and physicians about their condition and treatment plan. I worked on a team of medical professionals to provide expedited, yet compassionate care. Temple 's emphasis on clinical medicine, starting the very first year, will allow me to continue my experience and clinical training, further developing my ability to provide compassionate care through effective interpersonal communication, clinical reasoning, and teamwork.

For many years, I’ve considered becoming a teacher. In my off-time, I routinely peruse educator websites to learn about innovative methods and strategies in teaching, course design, classroom management and education policy-specific issues. As I considered what type of teaching I wanted to pursue, TESOL strongly matched with my experiences and interests. TESOL appeals to me because it ties in with my love of world culture, my desire to continuously learn, and presents me with the ability to shape and positively impact the lives of young people. I was born and raised in the U.S., so too, were both my parents and, both my maternal grandparents.
I am applying to the joint program with the Drexel University College of Medicine because I have a great passion for the sciences and am eager to pursue a career in the medical field. This enthusiasm for the sciences has been a part of me since I was young, and it has developed throughout my highschool years. In witnessing my mother’s battle with uterine cancer and my grandfather’s recovery from several heart attacks, I have realized that I would love to help others who are suffering. I know that this program at Drexel is a good fit for me because I share in their belief that all patients should be shown compassion and respect. I aspire to show my patients a high level of care and concern in the future because I know that it will be the most
