My goal is to become a primary doctor working with underserved communities, especially the Latino community. My work and volunteer experience and my professional goal are committed to provide service to the community with cultural competence, diversity and service orientation. CMSRU humanistic education in the art and science of medicine will complement these life experiences, characteristics, as well as my professional and personal interests and goals. As a medical student at CMSRU I will be able to receive an excellent education in patient care, will feel included in the CMSRU community, will share and strengthen my professionalism, collaborative and and civic responsibility skills. The mission and core values of CMSRU match my interests,
The curriculum followed in your program is intriguing, as it allows various clinical clerkships, sub-internships, and generous opportunities for electives, out-of state and global experiences. I am particularly interested in the clinical and global opportunities that your school offers. Sanford School of Medicine’s Scholarship Pathways Program is an invaluable program that provides students an avenue for gaining knowledge and research experience outside of the classroom. I really enjoyed learning more about the program during my interview with Dr. Zeigler. The Frontier and Rural Medicine program available to your students is a unique opportunity, offering insight and experiences in the full spectrum of rural medicine.
I joined because I wanted to understand the community that I would be taking part in for the entirety of my undergraduate degree. The community itself was within Central Valley, California, which was also known to be largely medically underserved and economically disadvantaged. I was able to witness this firsthand, as a college student focused on pursuing medicine, the impact of healthcare disparities, and social determinants of health. These experiences have instilled in me a commitment to serving and empowering marginalized communities. By actively engaging with other campus-based organizations and promoting health education initiatives, I aspire to contribute to RFU’s community outreach efforts and foster positive change in the communities
I am most drawn to Georgetown University School of Medicine because of its ideal of cura personalis. Through my volunteering with patients from underserved areas, I have seen that a person’s well being depends on their mental, social, as well as their physical health. I believe treating patients involves an individualized approach that focuses on their entire well being. At GUSOM I would be able to form my medical foundation with students and faculty who share this belief. I have loved doing research in college and would like to continue pursuing research in medical school.
I believe I should be accepted into to the University of North Dakota School Of Medicine because of my commitment to practicing primary rural care in the Midwest, my experience working with the underserved populations of my community, and my desire to advance medicine through research. Growing up in a small rural community, I was fortunate to have the same primary care physician. However, recently our town has experienced difficulty in hiring and retaining physicians. My enjoyment of my rural community inspires me to someday become a physician in this type of community. My commitment to serving the underserved population of my community is demonstrated through volunteering for 5 years at a clinic for the uninsured.
One of many reasons why I am drawn towards the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine is because of its rigorous curriculum and the school’s mission and values. Being immersed to a primary care clinic during the beginning of school, in opinion, is vital to the learn experience as it gives the students a hands-on experience. Furthermore, the school’s main focus on diversity appeals to my attention as it promotes learning from various students with different backgrounds. Diversity in the school setting corresponds to the real world since physicians will always encounter patients from all walks of life. Being a student who quickly learns from firsthand experiences and who can easily collaborate with other individuals, I believe I will contribute
The Morehouse College of Medicine is my top choice of medical school as its mission and vision both perfectly align with my personal goals and values. Given my goal to serve underserved communities, I am more than willing to practice medicine in underserved urban and rural areas to achieve my goal in life and promote the health among the most underserved and health-needy members of the communities especially the minorities. In addition, with the shortage of primary care physicians in the country especially in underserved areas, Morehouse is an ideal place for me to achieve my goals of serving these communities. I am also convinced that Morehouse, one of the top institutions in educating primary care physicians, will equip me with skills and
Having the opportunity to work with underserved populations has sparked my interest in an area of medicine I previously did not know about. As a volunteer, I served as a patient advocate. As part of my responsibilities, I sat with the patients before, during, and after their visit to make sure their needs were met. Not all of these conversations were intense and deep-rooted, but to see the overall impact I was able to have on the patients as a volunteer was what caused me to be enamored with medicine. In addition, being a patient advocate was a great way to provide help to those that needed it the most.
The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University’s (LKSOM) mission and values reflect the will of an institution to impart students with an understanding of the necessary balance between gaining knowledge and fostering a sense of community. This commitment manifests in the emphasis on longitudinal care, interprofessional team learning, and the many varied opportunities for volunteering in the city and abroad. The opportunity to contribute to a wonderful community in one of the most culturally vibrant cities in America has drawn me to LKSOM. An education at LKSOM means many things: living in a beautiful city, having the opportunity to participate in world-changing research, serving an incredibly diverse patient population, traveling abroad, as well as pursuing various other life-changing experiences.
Unit Description The unit for this assignment is The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University’s Office of Diversity Affairs. The Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) offers a four-year medical education for students interested in obtaining a terminal medical degree. Each year, the BSOM admits 80 North Carolina residents into the medical degree program, with the hopes of producing physicians who can serve the people of North Carolina.
Project Healthcare is the pinnacle of internships for undergraduate students with an interest in the medical field. The innovative nature of the program is steeped with vigor. I have been interested in entering the healthcare field in some capacity since a very young age. At fifteen, I started my explorations volunteering at Florida Hospital North Pinellas as a front desk volunteer on the Thursday evening shift. I met doctors and quickly realized the importance of patience advocacy.
As a well-known research universityxx:”?, at Brown I would have the opportunity to perfect my research skills and conduct studies with devoted professors. The recent Brown alumni, who are current leaders in the biology field exemplify the strength of the life science department at Brown, the extensive internship network, and the power of a Brown education. Like all Brown students, my enthusiasm would not end in the classroom, but rather lead me to engage with Brown community, through clubs, including service, science, and leadership groups. I am eager to participate in Brown traditions, including the midnight organ recital on Halloween and help to keep the Brown spirit alive. Brown University will support my educational goal to attend graduate
As the child of Brazilian immigrant parents, I grew up with a deep appreciation for the value of hard work, determination, and the importance of community. These values have been the foundation of my upbringing and have motivated me to pursue a career where I can make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. As I reflect on my journey, I realize that my passion for healthcare and helping others stems from my experiences growing up in a family that struggled to access quality healthcare. These experiences have inspired me to pursue a career as a physician assistant, where I can provide compassionate care to underserved communities and work towards reducing healthcare disparities. I am excited to apply to PA school and take the next step towards
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
My first comprehensive exposure to the health care field was six years ago as a senior, during which time I participated in hospital-based schooling. This program allowed me to observe a multitude of different medical disciplines, with rotations in surgery, orthopedics, nutrition, dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, administrative services, and many more. Three out of the five school days were dedicated solely to shadowing, and the other two were spent in the classroom learning various medical-centric studies. Once in college, I continued to shadow physicians whenever my class scheduled permitted. I participated in the 4-U Mentorship program, which paired me with a fourth-year medical student who was preparing to do his residency in general
