    As a student interested in medicine, I began to explore the various aspects of the field. I was first introduced to osteopathic medicine when I began shadowing a physician who specialized in the field of orthopedic surgery. My goal from this experience was to gain a better insight into the types of treatments osteopathic medicine provides for patients. While observing, I would often have discussions with the physician about what makes osteopathic medicine an intricate part of medical practices. Through our conversations I learned of the emphasis placed treatment of all aspects of the patients body, both mentally and physically, in order to provide a more direct form of treatment.…

    I’m not sure what was more shocking at the moment: the news that a grape-sized tumor was found during a routine surgery, or how I reacted to it. Terror radiated through my body, but my unfamiliarity with the situation left me speechless. At the time, I was one year into college, had volunteered in hospitals and held meaningful interactions with many patients, but I often found it difficult to empathize with them during their struggles. Over the course of my ensuing treatment, I began to grasp what many of these people felt. It wasn’t the physical nature of the ailment that weighed me down, but rather the subtleties that accompanied the illness - the impact on my family, the financial burden, and the uncertainty of my own future.…

    Why Surgical Pathology? It was my first day in the frozen section room and it was a busy Monday morning with a prostate for margins, an ENT specimen with multiple margins, and a uterus for staging. I momentarily stumbled and was not sure if I will be able to do it, but then I took a minute and said to myself that there are patients in the operating room waiting for diagnosis and I focused and performed best. It was not until my frozen rotation, I realized my love for general surgical pathology.…

    Surgeons have the ability to quickly inspire a patient to trust them as they work together towards an immediate solution to an emergent problem, whether it’s appendicitis, cholecystitis, or hernia repair. This appeals to me because I can see the product of the surgery: my patient’s pain diminished, improvements in daily function, and a pleasant demeanor. My interest in offering culturally competent surgical care for the underprivileged began at an early age. I was 4 years old when I asked my father about the asymmetry in his lower limbs. I remember when he told us the story of how as a young Peruvian boy he become infected with Polio and began dragging his left leg until his grandmother carried him to a hospital.…
