My research interests include curing cancer, emotional toll of hospitals on children, and improving methods of administering anesthesia. Curing cancer seems to be a lot of people’s goal, but cancer hits at home for me. The reason I want to find ways to cure cancer or help the body naturally fight against cancer is because my mother underwent chemo when she had breast cancer. My best friend’s mom also had cancer. Whereas my mother’s cancer never came back, my friend’s mom did. One minute she was cancer-free and the next she was back in the hospital. I think cancer doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed with it, but it also affects their family and friends. People have been trying for years to cure cancer, and I want to be apart of that work. …show more content…
The main reason for that is because I want to become an anesthesiologist in the military after college. I think that there is always room to advance medicine and since that is the field I want to work in particularly I want to research ways to improve it. I come from a military family and hope to contribute to the military, with my love of medicine.I am applying for training at NIH because I am interested in the medical field and the research that goes into the medical field. Before I enter college, I want more experience doing what I want. HiStep 2.0 will foster my love of science and medicine and give me the experience I need. This is a top-notch internship at a dream facility with almost-all expenses paid. I will learn so much in those five weeks then I will probably learn in my first five weeks at college. I have gone through another NIH program offered to high school juniors, that has allowed me to explore different medical careers. I am still going through the program although it is my senior year because I skipped my junior …show more content…
Yet, I am always going to have to work twice as hard to prove my worth due to my gender and the color of my skin. The first thing a person sees is your outer appearance, not the brain inside. I will always be judged because of what I look like. People will doubt my intelligence. I realize that sad truth and I have accepted the challenge. I don’t come from a rich family, but I’ve always had enough. My dad works very hard to give me and my two sisters what we need, while my mom holds down the fort at home. I have worked hard to gain respect from my peers and teachers. I am captain of the track team and with that comes numerous responsibilities. I know what it takes to be dedicated and work hard at my craft; I qualified for track nationals as a freshman and sophomore and have worked to maintain a 4.0 GPA. Life is a balancing act. It can be hard sometimes, but I manage to do well in track and keep my grades up to a high standard. I have been offered other summer programs, but those programs were expensive. I couldn’t afford those programs, but HiStep 2.0 is opening the doors for me and allowing me a shot to explore science with the best mentors there are! I think that HiStep 2.0 will really help to advance my knowledge in what it takes to work in the medical field and will help me get an edge over my competitors. Participating in another program as esteem as NIH is not likely, and I would be very lucky and grateful to receive 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.
Cancer is a deadly disease that millions of people die from a year. Many loved ones are killed with little to no warning affecting families across our world. My family happened to be one that was affected by this atrocious disease. This event changed the way my family members and I viewed cancer.
There are also two-year certificate programs for people with little to no experience in the world of medicine. This will provide you with formal trainin...
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.
My first career choice is a dental hygienists. This career will suit me not only because I find it satisfying to clean teeth, but I would enjoy informing people in how to take care of their teeth and how to keep them healthy. My second choice career choice is a Bookkeeping clerk. This career would suit me because I like to keep count of money and I’m also good at keeping things organized. I would like any of these two careers.
I consider anesthesiology as a unique area in healthcare requiring specialized skills and knowledge. An anesthesiologist assistant career involves working as a trained non-physician anesthesia provider in cooperation with and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. Activities include health history taking, carrying out care plans for anesthesia, preoperative physical examination, administering medication, supervising recovery and other responsibilities as assigned by the anesthesiologist. An admission into the anesthesiology assistant program would provide me with the advanced education and prerequisite clinical training that would enable me participate in these patient care roles. I am aware that the training programs for anesthesiology assistants are comparatively few as compared to many other healthcare career options. An admission into an anesthesiology assistant program would represent for me an invaluable opportunity to enter into a unique and challenging area in healthcare, and one in which I am very eager to participate
In Emory Pipeline Program, my peers and I matriculated with undergraduate and medical students at Emory University and Emory School of Medicine. In addition, as we matriculated each year, we were able to meet new people. I was grateful to meet the co-founder, Zwade Marshall, who was a four- year medical student and doing residency at Grady M...
In regards to my academic and career goals, I plan to attend a four year university and eventually medical school. After medical school, I hope to become an orthopedic surgeon through residency and specialize in sports medicine. My interest in sports medicine has developed through experiences such as observing my father’s ACL surgery, having an operation on a broken hand, and caring for my grandfather who had prostate cancer. I hope to contribute to the world of sports medicine through research, either on treatments for knee ligament tears or supplement breakthroughs. Additionally, this past summer I spent most of my time at the University of Pittsburgh Health Career Scholars Academy, where I was able to explore various science-related health professions through lectures and gain insight on the medical field. These experiences have secured my interest for healthcare and medicine.
Almost everyone has been sick, maybe they even got so sick they had to go to the hospital, maybe they had to have surgery. Well in that OR there are normal people doing their job to try and help people and make them better. One of the most important jobs in the OR is the anesthesiologist, the anesthesiologist is the person that gives the anesthesia to the patient, which slows their heart down during surgery.
This program also aligns well with my interest in public health and basic business background.
Since I was in elementary school, a career path in the medical field always caught my eye. I would want to pursue a career as a nurse because I want a job that is inspiring, challenging, and rewarding; I want to be able to make a difference in people’s lives every day. My mother is a registered nurse and just from the way she talks about her patients, I can see how much gratification and fulfillment she feels from her job. From a young age, I have always wanted a job that would leave a lasting impression on others. After some research, volunteering, and years of thought in what career interests me the most in the medical field, I feel certain that nursing is a profession that will fit me well.
I aspire to exceed expectations in this field and work with doctors to access possible conditions. As a student who has always been passionate about science and excelled in these areas, I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge while assisting a physics instructor in the laboratory with experiments he plans to introduce in future classes and while tutoring struggling students in Chemistry, A&P, and Statistics. This has been a rewarding experience for me as I desire to see others succeed. This has also allowed me to stay sharp in these areas and has helped me learn to communicate more effectively; both of which will be beneficial to my program. This year, I’ve had the honor of instructing a science club at a private school where I led a group of students through hands-on learning projects and experimentations. Although I demonstrate a strong background in Science, I knew it would be important to gain some medical experience. I was fortunate to be able to volunteer at a local women’s health clinic with the head sonographer beginning August 2017 and continuing for 1 year until classes begin in the
In this essay/report I will explain to the best of my abilities, my possible career path. I have wanted to be many things. In grade 1, I wanted to be a superhero, and that hope stayed out for a while. Later on, when I was 10, my brain started getting new ideas, exploring the world around me, thinking of other things aside form cartoons and I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to become a superhero? I started thinking of other jobs like firefighter, police officer, engineer, construction worker etc., etc. But then I decided it was no good. Then one day when I was watching an interview on TV, a firefighter was being interviewed and one of the questions was: How long did it take you to decide what you wanted to be? And he said a long time. Then I wondered how long a long time would be, I wanted to jump into the TV and ask the guy how long a long time was. Hmm, I wondered, how long is a long time and then I answered my question. “It’s going to be a long time ‘till it’s a long time, I’ve got nothing to worry about.” That question just flew off my mind until at the start of grade eight when I encountered this question again, and I answered it. It took a while and some research but I answered it. I want to be a Neurosurgeon when I grow up.
I applied to the Global MedPrep Scholars Program to study abroad in Shanghai, China. This experience allowed me to view health care from a global perspective. Studying the Chinese health care system has given me a glimpse as to what Global Health entails, allowing me to aspire towards my goal. Similarly, I believe the SPRINGH program will allow me to continue studying Global Health in the capacity of my interest. Doing this kind of research is where I believe my passion lies as a future physician. If accepted, I would have the opportunity to conduct Global Health research at sites across the world, gaining access to invaluable experiences and knowledge that would facilitate my future in global
