After I’ve my research about health profession careers, I am now most interested in becoming a cardiovascular surgeon because it’s a field of medicine that deals with one of the most essential organs of the body, the heart. I made some research about medicine schools in USA and I’m tempting to apply for John Hopkins University, USF, and Yale University. John Hopkins is a world leader in medical research and education which makes one of the best medicine schools in the world. John Hopkins requires a bachelor degree with a competitive GPA wand specific science courses including Biology with laboratory, Chemistry with laboratory, Physics with laboratory, Mathematics, and Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences. There are several letters of recommendations required for medicine school of John Hopkins including committee letter, letter pack, two letters from faculty member in science department, and two additional letters of commendation usually from the faculty which the applicant has done research with. USF is one of the best medicine schools in Florida and would not be considered expensive compared to other medicine schools in USA. USF Morsani College of Medicine requires a bachelor degree with an average GPA of 3.7 and specific undergraduate courses which are Biological science with laboratory, Chemistry with laboratory, Physics with laboratory, Mathematics, English or Expository Writing. Students are also required to take courses that explain general principles about courses in the fields of psychology, sociology, the arts and humanities, and ethics. Yale is as highly ranked University over the world and has a very good medical program. Yale medicine schools requires attendance for three academic years, or the equivalent, at an...

...and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Surgery. In the fourth year, students usually learn Neurology and Emergency Medicine. After medicine school, an aspiring cardiovascular surgeon must experience The Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Program which is program designed to train medicine school graduates who are aiming to enroll in clinical practice and academics of cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgery. The salary for a professional cardiovascular surgeon can vary among multiple factors but the average salary is usually 167-262 dollars per hour. A cardiovascular surgeon doesn’t really have an average working hours as it depends on the number of surgeries one undergoes per day which varies from one day to another. A cardiovascular surgeon can also work on-calls where one must be present when an emergency occurs.
A surgical technologist job hours is at least 18 hours, if they are sleeping at home and get an emergency call they have to go in and work. Before the surgery the surgical technologist will get the patient ready for surgery, dressing them, cleaning their bed, cleaning their bodies from infections, like putting bandages on them, and getting them into the operating room. As the surgeon's walk into the operating room, with the help of the
"If we recognize our talents, use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field," Dr. Ben Carson. If accepted into Cornell University, I would pursue a major in Biological Sciences. Aside from the impact of this major on our societal and collective evolution, I am inspired by the utility of the discipline. It is through the knowledge and application of biological sciences that we can achieve what was previously only dreamed of. Fascinated with biological science; fixated with medical mysteries, revolutionary medical discoveries, and the urge to make sense of the unknown is why I am pursuing this field of study. The application of biological sciences can be used to meet an objective or solve a problem; this and my innate sense of empathy towards the many adversities and wonders of life, amplifies my yearning to help others through the use of medicine.

Out of hundreds of thousands of different jobs available in the country, the attractiveness of Anesthesiology has caught my attention. Ever since discovering the career and its rigorous requirements, I have been trying my hardest to achieve it. To become an Anesthesiologist requires dedication, responsibility and passion and I believe I acquire those assets. It requires demanding education and many years of pure dedication to have this occupation. University of Central Florida provides this requirement to become an Anesthesiologist, so I have decided to meticulously try my hardest to be admitted to this university.
surgeons in training make the lowest income out of everybody. North Carolina has the lowest wages out of everybody in the U.S. while Illinois has the highest. Some of the prior tasks you may do are X-rays, plan and perform surgeries, care and check on your patients before surgery; you have to get a 3D image of what you’re operating on; the most difficult surgeries are open-heart, brain surgery. Workplace – You may work up to 12 hours a day or 60, you don’t travel much unless you are going to conferences, you do private practices with other workers at the hospital, you also may spend up to 8 or more hours in an operating room. Education – To be a surgeon you have to get a Doctor of Medicine Degree from an approved medical school the degree you must have to qualify is a bachelor’s degree, license to operate in your city, state.
Attending Florida Southwestern State College to become an x-ray tech is a huge accomplish for me. Because I have a learning disability unfortunately I have to take remedial courses like intermediate algebra, Brush up English, and a reading course the first semester. The good thing about studying Radiology is you can switch to any type of jobs in this field. For an example, you can switch to working with MRI’s or Cat Scans if you want to try another department in the Radiology field. This specific field is for you to work with x-rays. It’s important to know the bone structure .You can work with ultrasounds to, Cat Scans, to MRI’s (Magnetic resonance imaging).
My decision to pursue a career as an Anesthesiology Assistant is hinged on three factors; first, a desire to advance in the healthcare sector and be able to take up higher responsibilities in patient care; secondly, an intentional process of building a healthcare career that would be personally fulfilling and rewarding; and thirdly, embarking on a career path that will enable me to integrate my prior education, experiences and skills, and use them as a backdrop for effective care delivery. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology. I undertook studies in this area because I had always had a deep-seated desire to help people recover from adverse situations. At the same time, I trained and work as a medical assistant, which has enabled me to have a lot of patient contact. Based on my knowledge of psychology and my clinical experiences, I began to explore career advancement options
I have been in healthcare for about 6 years now. I started off as a nutritionist in a hospital setting, working with patients of all health statuses. I worked closely with doctors to determine what meal plan would best suit each patient. I went to work day after day to meet a new group of patients who were previously admitted the night before; very rarely did I work long term with one particular patient. Although I enjoyed helping people change their eating habits and educating them on how to better their health, at the end of the day I felt like there was something missing; I wanted more.
Among these programs are Speech and Debate, Business Professionals of America, Health Occupation Students of America, and all Advanced Placement classes will help prepare you for a career in the medical field. In order to work in a health care field you must be outgoing, able to work alongside others, and maintain a certain level of professionalism which all of the classes promote. “Doctors who display superior communication and leadership qualities advance to supervisory or managerial positions in hospitals and health networks. Those who start their own practices take on entrepreneurial roles and employ staff according to their needs. Some doctors join medical schools as faculty, and can gradually move into administrative roles” (Careers). By taking vigorious classes throughout your high school career you can be better prepared to achieve supervisory or managerial
In high school, I chose many courses based on requirements instead of true interest in the material. College will allow me to focus and invest myself in areas applicable to my future aspirations. Through the Program in Liberal Medical Education, the opportunity to satisfy all of my academic curiosities exists. My primary goal is to become a surgeon, but I also appreciate social reformation, travel, and the Spanish language. This program would allow me to gain an in-depth understanding of these subjects and to participate in life-changing experiences outside the classroom while working towards a medical degree.
While medical school application committees will look at the courses you took in college and how hard they were, you are better off simply going to college of your choice where you know you will be more successful. Getting more A’s at a regular and smaller college is definitely better than getting C’s in a top-tier. Of course, if you intend for a more rigorous study than by all means you should strive to be able to enter those top-tier schools such as Harvard. The cost of tuition is also tends to have a tremendous factor in what school to attend to so simply make sure to look at every option before officially selecting one. The price can range somewhere around $200,000 to $380,000 for approximately 8 years of schooling needed before your residency; which isn’t too expensive for the career it caters to. Anyways, with the salary you’ll be receiving, it will be a breeze paying off the student loans. The average salary of a pediatrician ranges from $169,000 to 189,000 and will vary due to the number of patients seen and the number of hours that had been worked. This may seem to be a large amount of money, but pediatricians are actually one of the lowest paid medical specialties and after completing residency most of the doctors tend have racked up an impressive amount of debt that begins to be slowly paid back. You are still guaranteed a financially stable life, so long as you spend your money
Computer courses are useful as technology is changing the way medicine is shared by physicians today. To head a career as a physician, a student needs to first enroll in a liberal arts program in undergraduate institution. Some colleges offer a premed major, but a general education with as many science and math course as possible and a major in biology or chemistry is good preparation for the study of medicine also. During sophomore or junior year in college, students should talk with an adviser about taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). College students should apply to medical schools at the beginning of their senior year, so it is recommended to begin medical school research as early as freshman
Striving to help any person in need that crosses my path is my goal in life because I love giving back to my community and interacting with new faces. I know that someday I will look back at all the things I did throughout my life and I would be glad to say I helped make a difference in the life of a family that really needed the help. My desire is to one day have a PHD as a General surgeon; this career is an important factor in today’s society because as a General surgeon a person focuses on the abdominal contents of a person’s body. Without General surgeons, many people that are in need of abdominal surgeries would most likely end up with horrible pain all their life or even worst ended up dead. A general surgeon has the potential to change not only their patient’s life, but the lives of the patient’s family. General surgeons give people of today’s world a fighting chance to not only live longer, but see life in a different view and appreciate it more. The career of a General Surgeon plays an important role in today’s society because it keeps society from falling apart with the spread of illnesses and diseases.
In our lives we face multiple challenges. It makes you feel like tomorrow won’t come or that the sun won’t shine again. We wonder when the pain will stop or if the hardest days of our lives will be the last. At a very young age, my journey of hardest days were just about to start for me. This journey of mine began on the day I took my first breath on this beautiful earth. Seconds after that moment, life handed me my first challenge.
My future plans are to become a biomedical scientist. Biomedical scientists serve in all levels of health science research from basic science working with cell cultures to human clinical trials experimenting the most cutting-edge breakthroughs to maximize human quality of life. I am interesting in researching rare diseases. There are many rare diseases that affect small proportions of the population and unfortunately go unnoticed for reason. Unfortunately, usually it is because therapeutic agents for these diseases would have a much smaller market than therapeutics for common diseases. There is an immense need for research attention to ultimately improve clinical outcomes in patients of rare diseases because many are a lifelong chronic prognosis and are genetic and non-modifiable by lifestyle factors and are lacking of often absent of current treatment options. The government helps by socializing the solution by having money set aside by public National Institute of Health (NIH) to research ‘orphan diseases’. An example of one such program from the NIH is Orphan Products Natural History Grants Program.
