In the gambles of life there is so much to be discover. I want to continue graduate studies in Biomedical Science, that is my main goal. However, being a student is not easy, and being precise in what I wanted in the future since the beginning was not easy either. But, there is an event in my life that changed me forever in what I really wanted to accomplish myself as an adult. Research in Biomedical Sciences is what I want to fulfill myself in the future, and further in my life, continue as a Principal Investigator or maybe having a laboratory where I can do my own type of research. Not only giving from myself to help, but also proving that I can be a competent, independent and capable scientist by being able to work for what I want, and that is research. …show more content…
As a student in my early years I wasn't given the appropriate orientation,and so like many students I entered the university with the idea that medicine was the path I wanted to take. The knowledge I acquired about Developmental Biology, the types of pathways of the cells and the idea that I could be a part of the discoveries being made everyday, to me that was a turning point right there. It was revealed to myself this genuine interest to practice research that was all along hidden. But, not only was I fascinated with the topics I was presented, but Biomedical Sciences also have different paths of research. This branch is broad and the diversity is what motivates me to keep further to discover a new branch inside Biomedical
My affinity for biology comes from my childhood days that I spent watching dissection of rats and looking at the cellular structure under microscope. My mother, being a professor of biology regularly used to take me with her to a Biology lab and that is where my journey towards medical career began. Early on in my life, my family went through a long agony of my father's illness and death. This became a solitary stimulus for me to take up this profession and a driving force to strive for excellence. Going through that turmoil of recurrent hospital visits gave me a firsthand experience of an anguishing family.
While many students claim to be engrossed in the medical field, one being myself, ultimately, only a few students take action towards their interest at a young age and go ahead on to pursue the field. Therefore, students who are sincere about their interest have a tendency to portray interest in minor research experiments, being in a medical field regardless of any materialistic reward, and being able to experience the true work of someone of the medical field.
Almost every scientist has a formative moment at the beginning of their career that gets them hooked to research. For me, this moment came as I looked through a microscope and noticed the open neural tubes of embryos I had genetically manipulated. I had identified an uncharacterized, disease-related gene and showed its role in the formation of cilia as well as neural tube closure. This was the first time in my undergrad I felt the exhilaration of first-hand discovery, and from this moment forward, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in research. Complementing my passion for research is a strong appreciation for medicine and its clinical implementation, which together have led me to consider pursuing an MD/PhD. These two degrees will allow me to take a multifaceted approach to both medicine and basic science research - applying an advanced understanding of human physiology and interpersonal care to the
I was torn between becoming a medical professional or a researcher; both options I had been passionate for since beginning college. My research experiences prompted me to pursue a career in research. It gave me the ability to test my knowledge, my patience, and my commitment to producing results that supported--or rejected--something I chose to investigate. But I needed some opportunity that could persuade me to determine which career was the best for me.
When I obtain an education in biology, I will be able to better impact the world in a positive way whether it be through research in medicine, or the discovery of new ways to improve the population’s food supply. Following my career path will allow me to give back to and benefit society as a
At the age of ten, I read a book, “Gifted Hands” by Dr. Ben Carson, which inspired and begin to motivate my interest in pursuing medicine as a career because I could identify with his discovery of the joy of reading and his fascination with science. When I was 14, I had an epiphany at the doctor’s office. This event occurred a little after I had finished my final exams in school and the next step was to go to senior high school. But, I thought the preliminary chemistry and physics classes of junior high school were daunting and went on to convince myself that a career in medicine might not be right for me.
Since high school, science has always been a subject of interest to me. Everything in the universe occurs for a reason and I believe science explains all these reasons. Besides this, science is all about the facts and this is why science has never fails to fascinate me. And nursing is more about science, which is why I have developed profound interest in this subject. I love the human biology, human physiology to be precise. I have always been intensely inquisitive in learning about the organs of the human body and have always wondered how they
I grew up in a research and development campus where my father is a scientist. Research and curiosity were constantly encouraged and this prompted me to take up medicine as a career, a field that offers tremendous prospects for research and discoveries. Throughout medical school I tried to be involved in research and attempts at trying out new ideas, be it in the lab or working with human subjects. I carried this through my residency and now my fellowship. The idea of studying a topic or issue that has so far not been treaded upon seems to be extremely exciting and challenging.
My interest in medicine had started out with an enjoyment of science. From general biology to advanced cellular/behavioral neuroscience, the study of the biological systems, especially the most complex of them all, the human body, has been a delightful journey with new discoveries in each new class.
There are a plethora of reasons why people what to get to medical school. Whether it's to fulfill certain desires or to simply help other people. My reasons fit into their own category. I don't just want to help people and my desires to go to medical school are not selfish. I want to go to medical school because I want to improve aspects of the field and I want to do more than just help people.
Ever since I started understanding things and as I processed maturity, I grasped that the human body is an incredible thing and it has always come to my mind that how it works and responds to things is very fascinating. My decision to work in a medical field came from several experiences throughout my life. Science has been my primary interest since I started school. When I was in elementary and middle school I was always one of the final competitors in science timed tests, oral science quizzes, etc. I have always enjoyed the competition amongst associates and enjoyed the challenge of school work.
In the future, I wish to obtain an occupation in the medical field. I would like to start out by working for a Biology major and working in a premedical field in college where I can use my interest in medicine and my curiosity for knowledge to gain insight that would be needed to become a helpful doctor in the medical field. As I move along in my career, I would like to work my way through the pathway so that I can expand my skills in healing others, such as diagnostic abilities, effectively giving treatment and so on. I want to learn as much as possible so I can fulfill my ultimate dream of helping others that need answers to their medical problems and so that more people can live happily and healthily in the world. I hope to bring happiness to others and allowing people to live comfortably.
I have always loved science and math. Although I thoroughly enjoy biology, it is not my strongest subject. To conjure a greater understanding of biology I set some short term goals. I want to enroll in more science based classes in order to hone my skills . Because I wish to have a job that is a hybrid of engineering and medical principles, it is extremely salient that I enjoy a major in biomedical engineering and perhaps a minor in nano engineering. Another of my short term goals that is related to my early statement, is to take a five year route in my collegiate career. The reason is so that i may enter the employment field with a masters in biomedical engineering, thus putting me a step further than many other applicants. After settling down with my engineering occupation I will be able to work on my career and long term goals. I have a laundry list of career goals but I will only explore the ones with the most priority. My first two years of highschool I was
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
I've spent the past year going to school, working, and volunteering and I've learned through various ways that medicine is not only a path that I'm capable of, but one that I want more than anything in the world. As a full time student I have successfully taken many challenging courses. I have been working part time in a psychobiology lab learning how to perform research first hand. It was here that I discovered that although I love research, in many ways it is too disconnected from the people it is helping to be my ideal career. I spend a great deal of time in the clinics and the hospital at Boston University Medical Center and there I have observed the patient-doctor interaction and realized that I want to be involved with the people I'm helping.
