All medical professionals face the same initial challenge―school. While some medical professions require a minimum of a high school degree and a year of training, such as personal care aids, the majority of aspiring medical students must study for at least four years before training. Physicians, such as surgeons and anesthesiologists, must study at a medical school and go through residency, where one practices medicine upon supervision. Likewise, medical professionals must become board certified…
While studying hard and doing all of the assignments may be sufficient to succeed at undergraduate college, successfully completing medicine requires a great deal. “Applicants and students will be judged not only on their scholastic achievement and abilities, but also on their intellectual, physical, emotional and behavioral capacities to meet the essential requirements of the school’s curriculum.” Today’s medical students are tomorrow’s physicians who will have the lives of many people one…
My interest in medicine sparked when I was an adolescent being cared for by my pediatrician, Dr. Gonzalez. As a kid, I consistently had shortness of breath and wheezing during sports competitions. As a result, Dr. Gonzalez diagnosed me with asthma and prescribed an inhaler and nebulizer to prevent complications. I am grateful for Dr. Gonzalez’s medical knowledge and advice because I was able to be successful as a student athlete. Sports were valuable in my life because they made me disciplined,…

This ministry is a live-in home with a program for women who have been through difficult situations. Women were there for addictions, abuse, drugs, eating disorders, and so on. All these women had different backgrounds and different stories. Many people could judge them and say that they got themselves into their situations. Many of these women have a completely…
Through fumes of vaporized solder and copper wire, the diode flashed on. After weeks, my Bluetooth stethoscope had finally connected and was working like I had envisioned. The project started with a simple goal of hearing the same murmurs my preceptor heard during a cardiology rotation, but ended up answering an imperative question about my medical future. Radiology is my number one career choice because it incorporates my personal interests and compliments my individual strengths. I am…
The infamous Night Doctors of the 19th century (and late 18th century) haunted the lives of African Americans, snatching innocent minds and bodies away from their rightful owners. Night Doctors are widely known for their history in body-snatching, which was simply the act of kidnapping and killing innocent blacks (mostly blacks) off the streets for the use of medical experimentation. For dozens of years, scientists, and even just the modern, everyday population have debated on the subject of…
