Understanding the human body, its structure, function and the vast array of health conditions and diseases that can now be identified, has been a fascination of mine for a long time. This is when I knew an undergraduate course in Anatomy and Human Biology would be perfect for me. I want to understand how advanced an organism can be and one day convert this knowledge into medical practise, thereby helping improve the health of today’s society. The skills I have already gained, I want to develop and form a strong platform to train as a physiotherapist where I will be able to assess patients, diagnose conditions and provide effective treatment, whilst monitoring their progress to ensure maximum mobility is attained. Whilst studying in my first …show more content…

I was taught basic first aid skills, role play sessions involving dealing with different patients, along with ethics courses highlighting difficult decisions medical professions have to make. Throughout my time at the hospital it was clear to see the importance of making your own judgement’s when determining the nature and severity of a patient’s condition whilst also calling upon the whole team to make an overall decision to provide the best possible diagnosis and treatment required to affect a full recovery. Another rewarding placement was volunteering at a local care home with a dementia unit. Here I provided additional help to the staff who needed to complete other daily tasks whilst I planned little activities that could keep everyone busy before it was meal time. I got to meet such an amazing woman named Betty who despite having problems with her replacement hip joint, still wanted to partake in the weekly ballroom sessions, as it reminded her of her youth. Drawing on her resilience has inspired me to want to motivate others to live a healthy and active life no matter what obstacles are placed on our path being age, illness or …show more content…

As part of my Gold award I did a residential week in the Lake District where I worked in a group with individuals from around the UK and we helped out in the local community clearing footpaths. This allowed me to develop communication and interpersonal skills. Working as part of a team was very rewarding and beneficial, and I know that physiotherapists need to communicate with all those in the health care team of the NHS to ensure the patient has the best possible care and attention. I also dance, which has been a regular part of my life for 16 years now, and is a good release from the stress of the work requirements of University. This led me to my involvement in a dance team that supports local theatre events to raise money for different

During my clinical placements in various hospitals around Perth, I have regularly attended educational opportunities provided by the hospital. These include the weekly ground rounds, intern teachings, RMO teachings, MDT meetings and radiological meetings. Other than these regular teachings, I also seek out extra tutorials from doctors on my team whenever there is a chance. For an example, when I was placed in Rockingham General Hospital for General Medicine my colleagues and I went around and asked not only the doctors on our team but ICU and ED doctors for possible tutorials.

I am interested in studying astrophysics because I have always been interested in space and celestial objects. I have decided to pursue this passion because of the money I can get having a job like this and because my mind is curious so it wants to see how far I can push myself to go and achieve this goal. Being an astrophysicist, means you study and write theories about space and celestial objects (www.space.com). If you were just beginning, on a daily basis you would have to deal with reducing spectroscopic data, reading papers, doing analyses, and attending meetings (https://astrobites.org). If I had this job my favorite part of the day would probably be going on the daily break and hanging out with fellow co-workers who I have befriended

As an International Business major at a university that prides itself on its illustrious school of business, it's safe to assume that the curriculum is quite intensive. Being a business student at such a prestigious school such as Howard University, I have the esteemed pleasure and opportunity to enroll in a curriculum that smoothes my rough edges and transforms me into an exponentially more dimensional scholar than I was before. Through the School of Business, I am able to take a vast array of courses within the disciplines of business that differ from each other in many aspects, but that all happen to correlate in some fashion. As a result of this, I was fortunate enough to become exposed to the wonderful world of Information Systems and Management Information Systems. Information Systems was not always a discipline of business I was cognizant of.
