Texas Health Presbyterian Plano Personal Statement

As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

In my time volunteering at the hospital, I hope to gain many different experiences. However, there are a few main ones: adaptation through enrichment and dependability. First of all, I want to get to know and adapt to the environment of the hospital and learn how different processes work. This is a crucial part of being in the atmosphere of a clinic. Also, the experiences that I will have at the hospital will help me to understand the routines and entailments of the career I would like to pursue. I hope to become a Physician’s Assistant in the future and this will be the best way to know if it is the right position for me. This enrichment of my understanding will help guide my passion for this career path and hopefully strengthen it.

I have had a passion for becoming a healthcare provider for children for quite a while (for a long time). Children are one of the most important individuals of society because they are the future and will one day be in charge of the world. Their health at a young age is indicative to how their health will be as adults. Childhood has a great effect on how a person turns out to be so I hope to help children I hope to use prevention and education to preserve and restore the health of my patients. My career goals are to prevent children from having to spend time in hospitals or in pain and to help them live out their life and dreams to the fullest extent. Children play a very large role in their families, and when a child becomes sick, the whole family becomes distressed. Pediatricians not only heal children, but they help and prevent a family from suffering. I love medicine and children, and I hope to combine these two passions by becoming a pediatrician.

I want to become a Junior Volunteer at Arcadia Methodist Hospital because I’m passionate about helping people.I think this would be a great opportunity for me to give back to the community because the community has had a great impact on my life and personality. I believe Methodist Hospital is a great opportunity for me to give a helping hand, even if that means only having an impact on one individual.

I went to the hospital several times to attend the orientation as well as to fulfill the requirements to volunteer and I was glad when I was finally deemed ready to volunteer at this hospital. I had two jobs consisting of helping out in the ICU and sending flowers to the patients throughout the hospital. I learned many things in the hospital that I had not known before through the friendliness and the supportive nature of all the staff. I learned how to basics of reading the heartbeat on the EKG, that leeches are still currently used to help circulate the blood in a certain portion of a patient’s body, and many other things. It was a very interesting experience and I enjoyed the opportunity

My volunteer experiences taught me that I value the physician-patient relationship of primary care medicine. Although volunteering in the E.D. showed me the excitement of emergency medicine, I found myself wondering about the follow-up care for the patients. Through other volunteering opportunities, I discovered that people of all ages and mental capabilities, including those with dementia or special needs children can build relationships when treated as equals and enjoy being listened to. Finally, my five years at the C.A.R.E. Clinic taught me the importance of adequate medical care for all community members. Together, my volunteer experiences influenced my life goals of becoming a rural primary physician who has the ability to serve and build long-term relationships with all patients. (798)

Not only will I be experiencing what it takes to become a doctor, I will be providing healthcare to those in need. I will be part of an organization that actually helps the community in a positive way by treating the health concerns of people in stressful situations. Through previous volunteer work, I noticed that a small deed can provide another individual with immense happiness. Impacting others and seeing the happiness in them is what fulfills me and brings happiness of my own. This is why volunteer work speaks to me and the underlying reason that ultimately made me choose the medical path. And because of this, I strive to volunteer in various service events in my community in order to aid as many people as I can. I have previously volunteered in hospitals and

I could feel the breeze of the cold air on me coming from the open window. I could hear the sound of all of the birds tweeting away. It was silent and peaceful. I was staring at the mirror, at my reflection. I sat down looked at the paper, “Oh my gosh! Mom! Dad! Guess what? The Lance children's hospital is looking for volunteers!” I shouted to my parents when I saw the ad in the paper. The silence instantly disappeared. I have always wanted to work at the hospital when I grow up so I was so excited when I saw that they were looking for volunteers. Everything we have seen in the past, doesn’t let a sixth-grade girl who has had no experience in a hospital volunteer. I am very good with kids. I love to babysit and take care of my 2-year-old sister. I am always looking for ways to help out. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Hospitals are a great way for a medical student to serve the community as well as gain valuable experience in their future field. For this reason, I have spent around forty hours from the end of the summer up until now volunteering at HonorHealth hospital. I volunteered as a transporter, what this means is that I move equipment, medical documents and lab samples around the hospital. I also help discharge patients by pushing them in a wheelchair to their car. Through this experience I was able to make life easier on people who were vulnerable and trying to recover as well as the busy staff member who treated them. I had many interactions with people and by from this I have a better understanding of impact my service had. I will be discussing: How psychology can explain social interaction, how outside factors can influence a person 's sense of self, how behaviors and situations can help you understand a person, the importance of communication as well as focus, and the environment shapes the organization.

As a granddaughter of a cancer survivor who was hospitalized after almost every treatment, a daughter of a man living with heart disease and who has had three heart attacks and an open heart surgery, and the sister of a boy who spent two months in the hospital after birth on a ventilator, St. David’s mission statement resonates its importance to me personally and professionally. My duties in the volunteer program entail not only what has been in written in the job’s description, but to serve, to the best of my ability, each and every patient or guest to make sure that they have an exceptional experience at St. David’s. Exceptional care of each and every patient or guest demands the use of excellent communication skills, and specialized care

Attending medical school has always been my dream and after the few experiences, this seems like the right career path for me. After making medical school my final career goal, I researched many areas, but one specialty caught my eye: neonatology, medical care of newborn infants. Children diagnosed with illnesses have always inspired me to be thankful for what I have and therefore, it seemed appropriate for me to give back. To get a better picture of what I will experience, I started to volunteer at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio as an information desk volunteer. The information desk gave me an insight of the “behind the scenes” that made the hospital run smoothly. During one of my shifts, I had to deliver mail to the families

She has accumulated over 100 hours volunteering at a hospital where her efforts included triaging incoming emergency room patients. She recently embarked on a volunteer medical trip in Cusco, Peru. There she volunteered with an organization that set up mobile clinics in medically underserved areas. Additionally she had a preceptorship with a family physician where she observed in the clinic and during hospital rounds. Throughout her preceptorship she gained valuable insight into the career of a family physician. It was during her volunteer and clinical experiences that she became committed to a future career as a physician and the excitement and challenges that the profession

The opportunity to volunteer at a hospital has shown me of what I am capable. My father’s condition, PTSD and chronic pain, and the fact that I’ve been his caretaker for years has led me to an interest in the medical field. For the past year I have been working at Desert Valley Hospital and that experience has pushed me to realize what it takes to be working in a healthcare environment. I have learned about professionalism, diligence, and the importance of compassion. I worked at the information center and then later at the radiology department. My time at the information center developed my communication skills. My job was to sign people in, give them directions, and answer any questions regarding specific patients. One example is when I saw

In my high school years, I mainly volunteered with children and discovered that I genuinely enjoyed working with them. They have this unique and pure way of thinking and such compassionate hearts that one might lose as they grow older and I found that admirable. Working with kids in my free time has led to me deciding what career I wanted in the medical field— and that was becoming a

Correspondingly, during the summer program on a field trip to a local hospital, I entreated to know about how to volunteer with them. Soon after I collected their contact information, I had an interview and was accepted shortly afterward to volunteer in the hospital for 3 weeks. During that course, I went over a variety of departments such as plastic surgery, maxillofacial, pediatrics, ENT, etc and it proved to be even more of a remarkable experience than I had ever imagined it to be; what I thought of as a mundane department, turned out to be very demanding and stimulating. Writing all sorts of information of the patients ranging from their age to their symptoms and diagnoses, I hoped it does not have an end. During my cycle in the ENT,
