Importance Of Physical Appearance

It’s what’s on the inside that counts. That has been a common moral that was to justify things should not be easily judged by their outward appearance. This goes to show how our society tends to emphasize importance of physical appearance. I realized that how you look really affects the opinions of others about oneself so I became interested in aesthetics. My interest for it was not meant to be shallow, because I believe there is potential beauty in everything despite having favorable physical features or not. This mentality was gained through my natural sense of empathy for others and my own struggle for self-confidence. I struggled with skin problems that affected the way I felt about myself and being around others. The main way I got through

This was the case for me when I started science courses like biology, anatomy, and psychology. My appreciation for biology and psychology pairs well for a career in dermatology. I would be able to consider the biological and behavioral factors that cause skin disorders. Psychology has a lot to teach about patient decision-making, social support, coping and self-care. For example, it may be obvious that a patient’s acne comes from their skin overproducing oils, but it is also important to check for factors like stress. Then, I can advise the patient to handle their stress along with the treatment.

Working as a dermatologist will be able to satisfy my need for variable interactions. I want to pass on my knowledge of dermatology to patients and also learn from them. My biggest concern for the career is that I won’t be able to efficiently communicate with the patient to ensure they know the importance of their skin concern. That is why I will continue to volunteer in medical settings to improve my social skills. After getting my bachelor’s degree in Biology and passing the MCAT, I will proceed to getting accepted into a medical school for four years and enter an internship to increase my chances of matching into the dermatology residency. Attending medical school would give me a beneficial experience to learn and improve my education of medicine. Then, I will practice medicine either in a private practice or other areas. I will continue to my medical education by learning from others and improve upon
