Ever since high school, I knew I wanted to work in the pathology field. I thought I wanted to be a pathologist. I talked to the career counselors at my school and expressed my interest. Fortunately for me, I was contacted not much after about an internship at Montefiore Medical Center. I would come to learn that Montefiore Medical Center is the teaching hospital of Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
I knew that I wanted to pave the way for candid treatment and diagnosis of patients worldwide. In the process, I became intrigued with experimentation and learning to comprehensively understand the nature of Science. Indeed, my intent to pursue an education in Clinical Laboratory Science was influenced by my eagerness to learn the mechanisms that controlled cell behavior. Furthermore, I was inspired by the idea of becoming a diligent healthcare professional. My ambitious spirit led me to furthering my education and earning a Bachelor's in Biology at Dillard University.
My academic goals after I graduated from UC Irvine is to achieve a higher education beyond a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences. I have set going to dental school as a primary goal after graduating. My goal is to eventually obtain a D.D.S (Doctor of Dentist Surgery) degree. Working towards a specialty is an interest that I am very curious in pursuing; however, as of now becoming a general dentist is my main goal. What factor(s) made you interested in studying in the Biological/Biomedical School:
Giving up and settling for a drastic career change was easy. However, putting everything on hold now to follow my passion for medicine is what will make me a valuable
My decision to begin graduate coursework in Public Health was motivated by my suffering from a rare health condition during my time at Villanova, only to be further reinforced by a medical volunteer trip to Ghana, Africa. The field
in Biochemistry. By seeking out a Ph.D., I plan to work towards employment involving research in the various fields of human health that also combine my academic interest in Biochemistry with my passion for plants. This presents me with two distinct opportunities. Not only could I work directly in the health field by working in pharmaceutical research and development, forty percent of which stems from compounds originally derived from plants, but also indirectly in the field of nutrition through the creation of agricultural practices and the development of genetically modified crops. Altogether, by preparing for professional paths that interest me both academically and branch into my avocational interests, I have developed an educational track that will ultimately transition into a life-long research career.
Family Therapy Theory Bekka Burlingame Michigan State University Family Therapy Theory Theoretical Review of Bowen Therapy Bowen Family Therapy began as research into relationships between mothers and their schizophrenic children using psychoanalytic theory in the late 1940’s (Denay, 2017). Murray Brown based his therapy on both individuality and togetherness, with a goal of differentiation of self (Nichols, 2013). Bowen Therapy views the entire family as one emotional unit, where each member’s emotional reactivity is dependent on the other family members (The Bowen Center, 2017). There are 8 concepts that make up Bowen Family Therapy and they will be discussed in the following sections.
I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities
John’s will provide me with a deeper knowledge in the molecular and cellular biology and would allow me to develop both my theoretical knowledge of biology and my research skills. With a scientific education background, personal qualities and a high personal interest in biological and biomedical sciences, I believe I am a strong candidate to continue studies in this field of study. In order to become a successful doctor, I want to better understand all the cellular aspects of the human body. I am ready to expand upon my knowledge and experiences with likeminded peers, in the field of biosciences. I look forward to learning from renowned professors, learning in a high-quality laboratory and adding to the academic body of research and
How does one define a good job? Is getting a college degree, having a six-digit salary, a secure job, and paying bills on time define a good job? Or, arguably, less income, but stress-free environment, and something that the person looks forward to doing every day define a good job? The question confuses many. Too many people are focused or either talked into going to college, just so they have a secure job which will pay their bills.
This pushed me to start study medicine which I've become intrigued in by the help of mentors and teachers. I want to become a doctor and help serve and promote the health of
I have chosen public health as my major because it is a dynamic field. I have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and helping others achieve their goals. It is with great passion that I am dedicated and willing to contribute my service or skills to help someone in need. My philosophy of health education is very simple, to prevent, improve and educate the lives of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies. Besides, there is no safer way to touch people’s lives than through public health.
I am passionate about science contributing to a better world, which explains my interest in medical research. My mother, as a nurse, exposed me to a broad range of diseases from an early age which definitely sparked my interest for medicine. My father, on the other hand, suffers from sarcoidosis in the lungs and a mitral valve disease; which also contributed to my interest. I am particularly intrigued by cancer research. I have known many people affected by this horrible and engrossing (for a medical scientist) disease.
To Graduate Committee Admission of Biochemistry and Cell Biology Program of Rice University: My inclination to study biology comes to me since I was little boy. I always found amazing the capabilities of living beings and mechanisms that allow life, development and evolution of organisms. Particularly interesting were my first approaches to microbiology in early classes in high school. My fascination by biological sciences was such that it led me to win the National Biology Contest held in Cuba, my native country in 2004. This was one of my first academic achievements in my short career and allowed me to directly enter the best pre-university school in my country.
I have always wanted to pursue a career related to the medical field, and it wasn't until my freshman year of college that I encountered the area of public health. I was immediately drawn to the specific area of epidemiology and infectious diseases. I am now a junior at the University of Texas majoring in Public Health with a concentration in microbiology and infectious diseases. I find epidemiology so enthralling, as it is implements ways in which we can scientifically and statistically describe diseases and the mortality/morbidity as well as predict how and why they spread. More so, I think the infectious disease aspect is interesting as well, because while the United States has shifted from burden of infectious disease to that of chronic
