My Experience Of Pursuing A Clinical Study

Improved Essays
I have never been able to extirpate the memory of watching my grandma in her last moments. I was very close to her. She was in pain and was surrounded by all her family members but nobody could do anything to relieve her pain except to rely on the final verdict of the available doctor for the whole locality.Those days, we lived in not a well-privileged place regarding healthcare facilities. I was so desperate to do something for her but I was very naïve then and medicine was a far cry. I always wondered after that as to what caused her pain and whether she could have been helped. I think that was the turning point in making a career choice of my life.
I have always been curious. My father, a banker, would never be able to quench the thirst

I have always dreamed of learning from an advanced medical setting and I was extremely happy to be a part of it. In those 9 weeks of being a clinical observer, to watch my three preceptors deal with the patients, commiserating them, feeling for them was truly an inspiration for me. Besides it was an excellent learning experience, be it integration and communication of information between departments, advanced diagnostic approach, use of technology in each and every step of delivery of healthcare or up to date procedures; everything was truly mesmerizing. This led to strengthening of my desire to acquire those skills and continue striving to be a good doctor in the field of medicine.
I consider myself a good fit for internal medicine based on qualities such as being a good listener, having better communication skills and my empathetic and caring nature. Henceforth I am looking forward to be the part of your program that helps me become a well trained doctor and competitive candidate for fellowship in the future. I want to keep trying to reach the zenith of this profession with all the hard work, enthusiasm and perseverance it

    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.…

    At age six, I was diagnosed with asthma and my mother would take me to our family doctor every time I will have an attack and I have always been fascinated how my wheezing disappears and I would be breathing so much better after I get a nebulization. My visits to the doctor became more frequent over the years because by then I was also diagnosed with eczema and every time I would be stepping out of the doctor ’s clinic feeling better as a child I thought the doctor is so awesome like superman because whatever I am sick with be it asthma, eczema or just a plain a plain fever he always makes me feel better and that’s when I decided early on that someday I will also be as awesome, I will be a doctor. Then at age nine, I had an accident where I sustained a lacerated wound on my left thigh that needed suturing. I was brought to the same family doctor who did the minor surgery but unfortunately left an ugly scar because to this day I think his suturing technique was not good enough.…

    As the illustrious John Locke once stated, the human mind at birth is a tabula rasa upon which experience imprints knowledge. It was not until a point in my late childhood that I learned that my grandmother had been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis ever since I was a little girl. On one particular morning, my grandmother was not able to get up from her bedside. Her joints had become unprecedentedly inflamed, causing her extraordinary pain. It seemed as if she had been temporarily paralyzed as nothing but a tear came down her cheek.…

    After spending many years in the US, it was not until my junior year in college that I really saw the demand for doctors with qualified training. With four biomedical engineers, I created a project aiming to design an affordable retractor for emergency cesarean section in the developing countries. I was shocked to learn that many women in India lack the adequate access to healthcare and have cesarean procedure performed by midwives with limited experiences, as the country's social and economic factors are driving up the cost of care. After endeavoring to understand the complexity of the health care system in this project, I saw that providing a more affordable medical device can only solve one of many dimensions of the problem. Becoming a…

    Keeping all my personal and clinical experience in mind, I believe that ‘Internal Medicine’ is the right choice for me. I have always tried to make use of my inborn abilities for the benefit of others and Internal Medicine provides me an excellent platform for this purpose. Some of the applauding aspects of Internal Medicine are the opportunities for close patient contact and compendious care that it provides. It also enables a physician to be entrusted with expectations and agony of patients. My clinical exposure during and after medical school and during my residency in Internal Medicine helped me to execute these…

    I want to become a physician-scientist because I want to work at the interface between basic science research, which has the power to elucidate new knowledge, and clinical medicine, which has the ability to translate scientific discoveries to a deliverable form that can directly help the patients in need. For three years, I studied the role of tumor microenvironment on breast cancer metastasis in Dr. Semenza’s laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As I studied the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor on integrin expression and subsequent cell motility, I learnt that cancer is a multi-faceted disease that consists of a web of multiple biological mechanisms as well as other arenas of science. Having exposed myself to…

    March 1999, I would never forget when I went to visit my favorite aunt along with my parents in the hospital. It all started with a bump on her forehead and what she thought was a quick visit to her doctor. However to our shock, we later learned that she had a metastatic lesion and needed chemotherapy soon. I was in eighth grade and I remember sitting in her room, listening to her doctor as he explained her condition and treatment. Even though I didn’t understand much, I noticed the doctor’s patience and the expertise with which he eased her fear.…

When a nurse on the unit asked for help with a bed bath for a patient with whom I was not familiar, I agreed. I wanted to get as much experience as I could. The nurse led me to the patient 's room right away.…
