I have an MD degree, Doctor of Medicine, and now I would like to further specialize in Clinical Anatomy, a sub-discipline of medical science. Fortunately, through the American Association of Anatomists’ website I found a list of graduate programs in anatomy available in the United States. Based on findings from the online research I conducted, I believe that with a Master’s degree in Clinical Anatomy, the possibilities for my future plans as an anatomy teacher and researcher are guaranteed.
I am interested in teaching the discipline of Human Anatomy.My future plan is the rehabilitation of the anatomy department at Kabul Medical University through modern integrated teaching disciplines, e.g. applying contemporary teaching modalities (including the use of computer software programs and anatomical imaging),

During the research I found that due to decades of war and conflict, not only a progression in anatomy teaching was affected, but it also resulted in a loss of qualified cadres and facilities. The result of this deprivation is that within the whole country there is not a single institution with the ability to perform cadaver dissection for medical students. Even the anatomy laboratory of Kabul Medical University, the best medical university in the country, is limited to some models and artificial specimens. Furthermore, all of the anatomy professors are those who only have MDs in medicine, which means that there is a great demand for those who have a graduate degree in anatomy. Because of this situation, I would like to enter a program in the United States that will not only deepen my knowledge of anatomy, but also familiarize me with up-to-date technology and a variety of educational tools used in this
Mr. Eric Davis gained his interest for anatomy from a young age. His father was a college professor and his sister became a doctor. Growing up he was constantly surrounded by medical personnel, but he never made a solid decision that he wanted to follow these careers until his sophomore year
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...
Having been born into a family of three generations of outstanding physicians, the drive to succeed and to be of service to humanity is etched in my genetic makeup. I strongly believe that being a member of Bastyr’s academic body will provide me with the tools that will enable me to accomplish my aspirations and join the list of Bastyr alumni known worldwide by their remarkable achievements. I am equipped to pursue my ambition of becoming a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Bastyr University wi...
Since TTUHSC provides students with access to a cadaver lab, I will be able to explore the human anatomy in detail and master the physiological concepts of the human body. The MOT program will also require me to gain hands-on experience in fieldwork at a variety of different settings which will strengthen my care and compassion towards patients. Consequently, it is my goal to digest as much information as possible through textbook readings, hands-on learning, and conducting
...all facets of medicine fascinating, it is Occupational Medicine which I found most challenging and rewarding. It is one of a few fields of medicine that allows for almost limitless possibilities in pursuing interests; from primary care in Occupational Medicine clinics to surveillance and hazard prevention in industries, drafting guidelines in regulatory agencies, and administration in corporate and public health departments. Therefore I aspire to do residency in Occupational Medicine. I seek a program that offers the opportunity to train with physicians who loves to teach with an ethos of excellence and provides me with challenges to broaden my array of skills and competencies. A residency program that selects me will receive an optimistic, enthusiastic, amiable and intellectually curious individual who will persistently work to serve patients as well as colleagues.
Having the support and guidance in a graduate nurse program, will allow me to further improve my assessment and clinical skills. I have a strong passion for learning about anatomy and physiology, which I believe the peri-operative department is the perfect environment to expand this knowledge. I love that everyday is different in the peri-operative department. Finally, my last reason for wishing to begin my nursing journey in the peri-operative department is due to my aspirations of volunteering with Mercy Ships. I would love to volunteer with Mercy Ships as they make such a difference in developing countries by providing surgical and health care
“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be
Since starting this class, introduction to health care, I have begun to think about what the future holds for me and what I will pursue with my college degree. At this point in time my career goal is to become a physician assistant in orthopedic surgery. I plan on working in a hospital setting where I can continue to learn and practice my profession. Five years after all my schooling and achieving my license, professionally I see myself working at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, New York, which is a teaching hospital. I would be working on and with patients, while still learning as I practice my previous knowledge. I would be seeing patients with injuries such as an ankle sprain, evaluating x-rays, and possibly sitting on and
...ying in the United States. Through my interaction with them, I became aware of the modern and highly developed educational methods used in the U.S. schools, a critical part of medical education which we lack in Afghanistan. In addition, I discovered the importance of being exposed to a culture widely diverse and different from the one I am exposed to. I realized that if I apply for the Fulbright grant, I will be given a chance to represent my country and my people through our genuine culture not in the way that they are projected in the media.
As a medical professional, there are many different aspects of the job. Most of the journey towards the profession is filled with long hours of studying all the technical terms and symptoms for a diagnosis. While all these aspects are important, humanities and fine arts aspect of learning should be incorporated into the studies of the current and future healthcare professionals as well. Literature and art impact and improve many different aspects of improving one’s skills as a carer, including, ethics, self-reflection, aesthetics and interpretation, empathy, and ambiguity. All parts of these aspects are interconnected with one another, with one aspect also enhancing the others, however, I believe the most important aspects are the ethics, empathy, and ambiguity that in which studying literature and art can provide for the learning healthcare provider.
During my time at Cortland I was a lab assistant for both biomechanics and anatomy. Some of my roles included teaching undergraduate students, helping them learn how to body functions as a whole as well as individually. While doing this I learned that I had a passion for orthopedics and cardiology in addition to teaching. Although, I
What is my personal purpose? Is a question that I have never thought to ask myself until recently. Then when I started learning more about a personal purpose I started wondering if I have one and what it was. I never thought of myself has having a real purpose until a watched an interview Will Smith had did and he had said “When your life means something to someone other than yourself than you have a purpose.” That is when I realized that I have a purpose. My purpose is that I am the hug that let others know it is going to be ok. My personal goals is to be genuinely happy with myself and life and to make my parents proud, my career goal is to own my own business and being successful at doing so, finally, my educational goal is to get my bachelors degree and grauate with honors and even moving on to getting my masters. Having goals is important to me because I know that while I am in the process of accomplishing them I will have something great to look forward to in the end.

The seed of serving people has been instilled in me during my early teens, raised by an uncle for couple of years who was a doctor, I was able to notice how much difference he was able to make in his community. Naturally, I developed a passion for science. So I chose to complete my bachelors of medicine and science from Soochow University in China. My undergraduate education exposed me to a multitude of courses which allowed me to obtain a breadth of knowledge and skills relating to medicine but any amount of learning would be incomplete without hands on experience. The one year internship experience in first affiliated hospital of Suzhou provided a stimulating environment through rotational postings in different departments, this gave me an opportunity to interact with diverse group of patients helping me understand the influence of economic and cultural differences on health.
