A Career In Biomedical Field

Improved Essays
Having deep curiosities towards biomedical fields, I have been interested in learning knowledge regarding medical-biology, such as reading scientific magazines, and discussing the new findings with students and professors. Other than obtaining pure information, I think the most essential part that every biomedical researcher should have is the ability to conduct experiments and researches dexterously. Thus, I’m interested in UTP at Loma Linda University because this program can not only reinforce my research ability and enrich my research experience as a whole, but also gives me an overview of what is the status quo of some health disparity issues. Given with the opportunity to conduct biomedical researches in an advanced research lab, I will be able to cultivate and enhance my research skills through frequent contacts with the research instruments. …show more content…
Other than acquiring practical rewards from these hands-on experiences, I believe that these research opportunities can bolster my critical thinking and troubleshooting capacities. Additionally, UTP will prepare me for my future life of a biomedical researcher not only physically but also mentally. Through this program, I can know the what does it feel like working in a laboratory. For example, I’ll understand how to collaborate with all the researchers in a laboratory setting, deal with stresses when encountering obstacles in my experiment, and strike a balance between research and regular

We became best friends and the field trip soon became weekly chess tournaments, gardening lessons, and Facebook tutorials.…
