Why I Want To Go To Medical School

Improved Essays
I have known that I want to go to medical school since a very young age. I have always been fascinated with the intricacies of the human body, as well as the complications and diseases it can have. More specifically, I have always been interested in neuroscience. I can clearly remember being 11 years old and reading whatever I could about the subject online nearly every night before I went to bed. It was then that I decided I was certain that I wanted to go to medical school and make a career out of this passion of mine. However, it was not until attending my current college that I realized just how important a neuroscience major is to me. There are many majors that one can be in order to successfully prepare for medical school. I strongly

    We are sex segregated into jobs from childhood to adulthood because at an early age we are encouraged by other people to choose a career that we can do. For example, when I was younger people would ask me what I wanted to be when I was older and I would always say a doctor. Their response would always be the similar “well that’s going to be quite the challenge.” I never knew if that was because it would be a lot of schooling and a lot of work or if it was because there wasn’t a lot of women in this profession. According to the reading “Women were 6 percent of those getting MDs in 1960, 23 percent in 1980, 43 percent in 2000, and 49 percent in 2007 (Paula England 346).…

    I’ve tried to come up with alternative ways to explain why I want to become a physician’s assistant, but I just cannot find the words if it’s not the truth. This is a difficult essay for me to write because no one else knows this story besides my husband and to explain myself efficiently I need to start from the beginning. My mother only attended college for a short period until she met my father, got married and had two children. She never went back to school or found a career because my father always took care of her financially until 19 years later. Long story short, their marriage ended up not lasting for many reasons.…

    Neurosurgeon The path directed towards this occupation is long and tedious. Technically, a student is able to major in anything, as long with taking pre-med class and be accepted into medical schools. However, most choose degrees in the scientific field; biology or chemistry. I choose neuroscience as my major, not only because the major occupies my interest, but to set me aside in the application process for medical school. Only a few universities neuroscience as a major in the United States of America.…

Observing and getting to know physicians with excellent morals and practices has helped me decipher what type of qualities I wish to obtain as a professional in the healthcare field.…

    Doctor in the making There I was going through the pig's trachea and went straight to his heart. Having a pig’s heart in my hands was amazing, nothing that exciting has happened to me until I decided to dissect a pig. I put the heart down and went on with my adventure, went to the pig’s stomach and poked a little hole in it, and brown liquid started to oozing out. It was probably the most disgusting but exciting thing I have seen in that class.…
