My Personal Statement The first year of the medical school started with the basic science courses. One of the important and perhaps the most important course of that era was anatomy. In the third term, Anatomy course was about head and neck and neuroanatomy. This course for me that, I had scored an average in the last two semesters of Anatomy about limbs and trunk, encouraged me to study more of this course so that I could get away from it. All senior students said that this course is the hardest part of the anatomy, and it is so difficult, especially when coming along with one of the best and most literate and at the same time the most rigorous university professors. I was a moderate medical student, but I got an excellent score in head and neck anatomy and complete score in neuroanatomy. That score may have been due to the logic of this lesson, which made my understanding of what I had come to medical school with the knowledge of math and physic. I have always desired a lifelong career in the field of diagnostic and intellectual challenges, which I believe would be fulfilled in Neuroanatomy. …show more content…
One of my friends offer me new era about translation of medical book for medical student, when I started I was interested in translating medical book, I translated two books about cardiology and urology and then I came up with a guide to translate a book about clinical neurology for medical student with one of the neurology professor. This was the most important thing that happened to me, and the influence of the great professor changed my path to studying neurology. I became interested in the neurology not only for translating that book but also he has had the greatest impact on my dignity and passion with his knowledge and behavior,
The earliest beginnings of anatomy could be traced back to the Egyptians in 1600 B.C.E., when early examinations of sacrificial victims were taking place. From this time, scholars have found the earliest medical document, known as the Edwin Smith Papyrus, in which it described early anatomical observations made by the Egyptians, most likely due to their knowledge gained from mummification. The papyrus displayed organs such as the bladder, uterus, kidneys, liver, spleen, heart, and blood vessels.
Due to my pleasurable experiences as an undergraduate at Temple, I explored the TUSM without hesitation as an option for my medical school education. When I investigated the curriculum offered, I was very interested the doctoring course that runs throughout it. I feel that the integration of the curriculum with clinical skills is an critical part of medical education. From my undergraduate years, I know that this is the way I learn, and I believe that I would excel in this course as well as perform better in the basic science blocks. To further pursue my interest in the TUSM, I attended a panel of medical school students inclu...
On the first day, my teacher made it clear that the course would be rigorous, but I knew to not doubt myself. We began to learn new skills such as taking vital signs, capillary punctures and phlebotomy. It was comforting to know that this was new to everyone. Myself and the rest of the students are so grateful that our teacher gives all of us tips on how to improve our skills each time we practice them.
As we stood over the precisely dissected bodies, trying to distinguish between the phrenic and vagus nerves, the greater and lesser omentums, and the left and right gastroepiploic arteries, I inadvertently looked away from my prosection and saw Stephanie (one of the TAs) walking across the room carrying a human head face down against her palm. This sight forced me to recognize a truth about these prosections; these body pieces, picked clean of fat and connective tissue, were at one time all components of a complete, living human being like each of us enrolled in Human Anatomy 101L. When I reached Stephanie’s station I found that I couldn’t concentrate on the facial arteries or the various muscles that help us pucker-up or smile. Instead, I kept staring at the final facial expression of a once living, breathing, elderly man who seemed to have taken a quite unpleasant exit from the living world. And now that man, or at least his head, had ended up on a HA 101L classroom bench being poked and prodded by a complete stranger.
Moreover, I am in a career pathway. In addition, as I have mentioned before, my dream or goal is to be a part of the medical field as my career. Therefore, in last year, when we were selecting classes for high school, I have decided to
A standing broad jump is a jump for distance from a standing position. It can be divided into four temporal phases: countermovement, propulsion, flight, and landing. In the countermovement phase, the subject squats to load up and extends the shoulders and the arms. In the propulsion phase, the goal is to generate enough force to propel the body forward. The person must stand erect in full extension of the trunk, hips, and knees. Then, the person flexes at the hip and the knee, which results with the trunk being rotated in a forward direction. Next, the arms become slightly flexed to hyperextension, to full flexion. Prior to the flight phase, the body goes into full extension. The flight phase begins as soon as the feet have left the ground. During this phase, the body stays in full extension or can become hyperextended. Towards the end of the flight phase, the trunk rotates forward in an anterior direction along with minor hip and knee flexion just before landing. During the landing phase, the knees and the hips are in maximum flexion and forward rotation of the trunk. There is also arm movement by moving both arms in the vertical direction to improve jumping distance. At the onset of the jump, the arm swings forward and during landing, they swing back and forth.

During my undergraduate education, I took a substantial amount of courses like Psychology to study the human mind and functions, Anatomy and Physiology to study the human body, Medical Terminology to know the term used in today’s medical field. Most of all, I took courses in Radiology which deals a lot with the human bones and bedside manners. I believe the knowledge that I have acquired during my undergrad education has prepared me to start my new found career. In addition, more than 15 years of working with Microsoft Office and company database will help me to succeed with my in class and online
Anatomy is a study of the structure or internal workings of something and physiology is the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. A cosmetologist practice beautifying the face, hair and skin of their clients and a nail tech purpose is to take care of both finger and toenails.
From my point of view, the scripture means God has helped to create babies in a mother's womb. The scriptures were a way for babies to say thank you to God for made them and helped them being born. It still amazes me how babies lived in the mother for 9 months before travels through the world.
Human anatomy and physiology and the understanding of it has come a long way. Our bodies has many different parts to it. Due to advances’ in medicine and technology we have a more scientific understanding of what our bodies are made of and the functions/ roles our body parts have and also the effects of medicine on our bodies. Most of us has a basic understanding of what our body is made up of including cells, organs, tissues, and other systems . There are also other “common” knowledge’s and facts about the human body such as the skin is the largest organ. According to the newworld encyclopedia.org there are 6 chemical elements that are the most common and make up 99% of our body mass these elements are “Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, and phosphorous”. According to Wikipedia “The human body is the entire structure of a human being and comprises a head, neck, trunk (which includes the thorax and abdomen), arms and hands, legs and feet”. As we know, there are many
In medical school, no subject is better than the other, none can be compared to other as well. For me, neurology is a mystifying subject, it’s kind of magic. I joined medical school, not only for service to science of man, also to be a part of the swiftly changing technology and the thinking process. The treatment of choice today will be a historical topic of discussion tomorrow, and the thought we have today may be the treatment tomorrow. My interest for neurology grew since the first year of medical school.
The history of anatomy and physiology dates back to ancient Egyptian times when humans were mummified after death and bodies would be stripped of their internal organs during the embalming process. It was not until much later when Hippocrates II, known as the father of medicine, was the first to write about human anatomy. Shortly after that, the Alexandrian Medical School was established, where human dissection was allowed for the first time, which promoted research and new discoveries in the field. From there, many other influential researchers came up with theories regarding the cardiovascular and nervous systems, etc; however, the missing links in some of the earlier theories was found with the discovery of the microscope, which changed the focus of research and led to many advancements in the field.
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
I started to explore the different fields of medicine by working as a Medical Scribe in the Emergency Department, ER tech in Trauma Centers, getting involved in research, volunteering at hospitals and taking high level science classes. This will enhance my knowledge and experience i...
