Biomedical Engineering Personal Statement

Improved Essays
I am a freshman at Millsaps College and am originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I have always interested in medicine because of the opportunity it will give me to help my community. I aspire to be a future medical school student in Mississippi and practice medicine in Mississippi as well. I realize that to create a better tomorrow, it is important to learn to integrate what I have learned in my science classes to applicable research. I hope to achieve this by interning in a research lab through MS INBRE.
If given an opportunity to contribute to the biomedical field, I will be able to contribute to the research that can potentially help hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from Lyme disease. I plan to work in Dr. Karim’s lab for

    The study of medicine has evolved over thousands of years from something of an enigma governed by religious spheres to the highly specialized science of preventing, treating, and curing diseases of the human body. While my interest in becoming a physician did begin with a love of natural sciences, it has, like the study of medicine, evolved into something much larger than topics covered in my general biology courses. I want to work with people on managing their conditions, learn from doctors before me as well as patients, and be a positive influence despite often-negative diagnoses. Individuals all have different reasons for wanting to attend medical school, but I believe that we are either called to practice medicine or we are not. I am drawn…
