be competitive for medical schools. As a neurotic premed, my goal was to simply get into medical school. keeping my grades high and engaging in extracurricular activities were all I cared about during that time in college. This would prove to be a terrible mistake that would only make my goal that much difficult to achieve down the line. I was going into my sophomore year with a 3.45 GPA and I intended to raise this to at least a 3.5 by my junior year right before medical school application…

Studying at medical school was a privilege that I never took for granted. I grew up eager to make a difference, and entering medical school helped to make my dreams a reality. Day by day, I began to strengthen my scientific knowledge and appreciation of what it means to be a good physician. However, as I matured with my training I began to see the artistic approach of medicine, and thus what it means to be a great physician. Throughout my studies I have been driven to incorporate these key…

Since my junior year in high school, I have had the opportunity to work at MGH. It has been rewarding because I have gained valuable experiences that many people my age do not have. Therefore, in order to continue to grow and gain more experience I want to work another summer in a different position. Somewhere where I can increase my knowledge and meet new people in a different area of expertise. I am positive I will have a rewarding experience at MGH because I always have for the past 2 years.…

I knew from an early age that I wanted a life in medicine. But looking back at my medical career, it is amusing and shocking how little I knew of a life in medicine at that time. Despite my father being a doctor, I had a very poor grasp on what it takes to be a physician. Now nearing the end of my residency training I have a better idea, making me confident that I will make good radiologist, and have a good life as a radiologist. In terms of developing into an excellent physician, one of my…

a Bachelors in medical or Doctorate degree. I would like to be a Registered Nurse or a Physical Therapist Assistant. At first, I’m going to go to Palm Beach State to do my first two years because I did some research that the two years is just the basics of what you learned in high school, but tougher and pick the ones that benefits you for your major and my major will be pre-med and the years after that. I would hope I will be at U.F. or FAMU, somewhere that has a very good medical program. I…

Doctors are teachers. Growing up I always wanted to be both a doctor and a teacher. I would spend my days anticipating the times that I got to visit Dr. Ahr, my pediatrician and attend take your child to work day with my mother, a high school mathematics teacher. Last summer I realized that I did not have to decide; I could be both a doctor and teacher. This reality didn’t truly sink in until my eighth day shadowing in the general surgeon’s office. It seemed to be a typical day of observing Dr.…

My career goals mostly consist of me becoming a doctor. I plan on graduating college, and then moving on to medical school where I would gain my credentials as a doctor. I would particularly like to attend a school of osteopathic medicine, but when compared to medical school, there are way less schools to attend. Not having as many schools of osteopathic medicine to apply to automatically presents me a challenge because the way in which I learn medicine will change drastically due to the very…
