Biomedical Science fascinates me because of the complexity of the human body. Human beings depend on intelligence and immense curiosity to exist, making humans the most advanced organisms on the Earth’s soil. It astonishes my mind when learning about the large scale of different reactions taking place every second of our lives. A Biomedical scientist plays an important role in medical society. Because of the work of biomedical scientists, doctors and nurses can both diagnose and treat patients effectively. This practical application of scientific knowledge and research has a massive effect on healthcare services and the treatment of diseases; being part of this world would be an amazing achievement for me.
I have always loved sciences, especially Biology and Chemistry. Having chosen both these subjects to study for Higher and Advanced Higher has helped me a great deal. Studying Biology has improved my understanding by broadening my knowledge and giving me a deeper perception into the subject in related aspects of Biomedical Sciences such as Neurology and Human Anatomy. …show more content…

I learned about the importance of treating patients effectively. It became apparent to me that skills such as empathy, patience and compassion are vital to improve the doctor-patient relationship. This valuable experience increased my interest in the illnesses, drugs and the development of treatments; giving me an insight into a career in Biomedical Sciences. I was very fortunate to be selected to attend the Sutton Trust Summer School this year, where I studied Chemistry and Medicine. It gave me an insight into university life and the opportunity to speak to medical professionals and students. Speaking to academics made me realise the challenges related to medical careers, such as the long hours of study and the need for commitment, which I feel I can

Science plays a major role in improving the quality of life of people around the world. A present day example of this is the use of genetically modified mosquitoes in order to combat the zika virus and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. If these efforts are successful it can mean a significant reduction in the amount of people who contract these harmful diseases. This is especially important in places where people may not be able to afford treatment if they were to contract one of these diseases. To be able to help so many people through scientific research is what I find compelling about the field of science.

These instances combined with a passion for medicine are what has lead me to pursue this unbelievable and fulfilling career. Foremost, like many determined and selfless students I want to attend medical school because of my interest in medicine and the ability to provide care to others through clinics and research. Over the last few years I have been working in a clinic along side numerous physicians, having been fortunate enough to learn from some of the best. In my opinion nothing is more satisfying than evaluating a patient, determining the correct diagnosis, and then communicating a prognosis and plan of treatment to help cure the patient of any disease or ailments. It is the patient interactions that have attracted me to medicine.

Dedication and discipline were the keys to my success, which included being a major factor in my team's progression into the finals of a major tournament. The main reason I became interested in medicine is that it also requires a fastidious, goal-oriented approach that is very demanding. That being said, the substance of medicine also holds strong appeal to me, both through its scientific aspect and through the potential for serving others who are in need. Since I was four, a medical career has been “part of the plan” and the reason is not for something superficial like money or authority.

I witnessed the intellectual challenges and pressures of quick decision-making, the need to multi-task, complete paperwork, and the sombre atmosphere of breaking news of terminal cancer. All this gave me a realistic insight into modern medicine, a career to aspire to. Additionally, I’ve taken part in science competitions. I took part in a medical ethics debating competition at St Georges School, a valuable chance to explore modern social/ethical challenges in healthcare e.g. abortion, and in 2014 my team and I won the bronze prize in the final of The Physiological Society's, 'The Science of Life'

I recall the first day of school when our teachers bombarded us, mere freshmen, on what our plans were. I knew I wanted to attend college, go to medical school, and eventually conduct my own research. But what I never thought about was how I would strive to instill in myself this passion for medicine. Never did I imagine standing on a stool glancing at the work of a skilled surgeon as he delicately placed a new heart in the patient’s thoracic cavity. Never did I intend on participating in a State competition for potential healthcare professionals with whom I shared similar ambitions with.

I find that science subjects fit with my inquisitive and questioning nature. Knowing that a process happens is not enough, I must understand why it happens, what causes it, and how the science behind it works. This is why I find Biomedical Science so interesting; the push not only to make new scientific discoveries, but to enhance scientific understanding, improving lives as a consequence. The molecular, cellular and pathological areas of science are some of the most rapidly evolving areas of research and industry of the 21st century, and it is this continuous evolution which fascinates me and compels me to study a Biomedical Science course at a higher level.

Science helps us in finding reasons behind the Biological processes and the technology aids the development of the novel strategies to manipulate it. Before joining the graduate school, I wanted to gather knowledge of both scientific and technical research. According to me, research is a beautiful piece of a sketch made by joining the dots of the knowledge gathered from the academics. I believe, that a graduate program will give me that opportunity to join the dots which I have gathered by studying Biochemistry and Biochemical Engineering to create an amazing sketch of life. I am leading to the ultimate goal of my life by taking small steps every day.
