During the information session on December 5th, I heard from speakers about how they got into their profession and specialization. All of the people who spoke on that day speak on how wide the health field is and how they went into specializations that they were not familiar with when first hearing about the field. The health professional seminars and workshops will give me the opportunity to learn more about the health care field. Despite the fact that I am determine in becoming an emergency room physician and do not see myself changing my mind, learning about specializations that I am not familiar with or not aware of will make me more knowledgeable about the health care field. Learning about other specializations will allow for me to go into the specialization that will fit me and I would be the best at

    My experiences, academic background and personality are three key aspects of my life that make the medical field a preference and a particularly suitable field for me. My interest in medicine was first sparked when I volunteered at CentraState Medical Center working with geriatric patients. To further explore this interest, I joined the First Aid Squad in my town. Riding on ambulances and volunteering at the squad provided much-needed insight into the field and taught me valuable skills, such as patient care and effective communication. After completing a four-month intensive EMT course and state exam, I can proudly say that I am now a New Jersey certified EMT.…

    I have always loved science. As a little girl, topics like the water cycle and the digestive system process interested me, and as a teenager, these topics stimulate a feeling of curiosity and awe in me. I hope to improve this broken world by pursuing a career in microbiology, food science, pharmacy, biopharmaceutical engineering, or biomedical engineering. I would love to attend the CHI Health Care Career Exploration Camp because I believe that it will help me narrow down my career choice. Other reasons are because of the vital information that I will receive about a career in the health industry, and because I believe that this experience would positively impact my future in a scientific career.…

    “No one has ever become poor by helping” quote by Anne Franklin. There is more gratitude and blessings in giving than in receiving and I have had the opportunity to witness this statement. My experience in the medical field has shaped my view of medicine and sparked my interest in becoming a Physician Assistant (PA) with a desire to help underserved communities, specifically the Latino community. From being a child to current day, I served as a translator for my mother whenever we had doctor visits. My mother would strive to search for providers who spoke Spanish; she felt more at ease when discussing her medical issues with a provider who spoke the same language as her.…

From my understanding, your statements interrupt the status quo but were welcomes as the appreciate inquiry looked at the positive side, building on strengths (MacCoy, 2014).…

    I have always desired a career that will make a difference by targeting populations, highlight prevention methods, and one that will be a challenge. Prior to obtaining my MPH, I had the opportunity to intern with the Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) in the Environmental Health Branch program called the Chemical Hazards Program (CHP). I assisted the CHP staff by creating and maintaining a database from their Environmental Health Education Needs Assessment on a Superfund site investigation in relation to uranium in private well-water. The health data was then evaluated, recommendations were made, and, as a result, I co-authored the Environmental Health Education Needs Assessment Report which entailed details of the project/study.…
