Miami Miller Reflection
Ever since I transferred to the University of Miami as an undergrad, I have had the gratification and honor to meet and work with various remarkable people, from physicians to scientists and staff. Doing research and shadowing at Miami Miller School of Medicine gave me the prospect to admire how marvelous the school and its community are. Furthermore, I have had the satisfaction to meet several professors who teach at the medical school and the prospect of learning from them is enticing. Being able to experience first-hand the compassion and care that the doctors at Miller demonstrate their patients have also confirmed that this school is not short of role models for me to follow. Additionally, I have met several students who have shared their

    3. Allan Bakke was a 35-year-old white male who after serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam and working as an engineer for NASA, developed an interest in medicine. Bakke applied to UC Davis and was rejected even though he had attained a GPA and MCAT grade above the school’s average. Along with excellent academic recognition, he also had very good credentials beyond the classroom and was even interviewed by UC Davis’s Dr. Theodore West who stated that Bakke was, “a…

    WVU SOM Case Study

    • 693 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I chose to apply to WVU SOM because of the university’s large social role and association with the state. I believe that I can contribute to WVU SOM’s communal ties to help foster change and improve healthcare on both a community scale and a state scale. I believe WVU will offer the opportunities to serve rural areas that lack access to health care, an issue I hope to also improve in my local community. I am interested in learning about the university’s and state’s plan to address underserved populations. Moreover, I believe WVU SOM’s program will provide me the tools to teach patients about their health. I believe transferring knowledge to the community will be the first step in encouraging and changing to healthy lifestyles.…

    In this course project paper I will focus on Ross University which is comprised of a School of Medicine (RUSM) and a School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM). Though based in New Jersey, the University has campuses in St. Kitts (RUSVM), Dominica (RUSM) and the Bahamas(RUSM). In addition to these Caribbean locations, Ross University has clinical rotation sites and affiliations with teaching hospitals throughout the United States. Ross University is a very well-known institution both in the United States and internationally. It has been in operation for over 30 years, and was purchased by DeVry Inc. several years ago. The school is viewed by many to be among the top Caribbean Medical and Veterinary schools, producing more physicians and veterinarians than many US educational institutions. In addition to simply graduating large numbers, the University’s alumni have high ranks in statistics such as national placement exams, board certifications, and incredibly low loan default (0.0% for RUSVM and less than 1% for RUSM). Over the past few years, Ross University has seen tremendous growth, and continues to see change every day. I began working at Ross University in 2007 as the first director of alumni relations for the University, as an example of this growth I am now the director of institutional advancement and alumni relations for DeVry Medical International which encompasses both Ross schools as well as another Caribbean medical school. While Ross University is now a part of DeVry Medical International this paper will focus on Ross only as the third institution is still being integrated and their benefits are not yet in line with those of Ross University.…

    The University of Cincinnati seems a foreign concept for a Colombian-born, Miami native, but I didn't learn about UoC, and its medical school, from advisors or peers, I actually learned about it through an alumni, Dr. Micheal Brazda. I worked with Dr. Brazda during my four years as a physician scribe at Baptist Hospital of Miami. My encounters were fleeting, you see, Dr. Brazda rarely used scribes. Why? Because he spent so much time with patients, listening to them, that he had no use for a scribe. But on one miraculous evening, due to an unforeseen scheduling error, I was able to work alongside him. His style of treating patients, his bed-side manner, his compassion, it was enchanting, and the absolute exception. When I asked him about his…

    A significant reason I continued cheerleading in college was my desire for a team environment and support system of upperclassmen to look up to and underclassmen to provide a fresh look. Feinberg’s team-based care model is most conducive to the type of environment off which I have thrived my entire life. Moreover, as many of my endeavors have been inspired by the mentorships of my coaches and principle investigator, I look forward to building a similar enriching relationship with a long-term mentor in medical school. Furthermore, longitudinal aspects of FSM’s Health and Society portion stand out as they focus on the very components that drive my passion for the field. Through my personal spiritual journey, exercise hobbies, and experience mentoring…

    Experience is the truth. Seeing the eclipse with your own eyes is totally different from hearing about it. To Dillard, that event is much more compelling as she witnessed it herself: “What you see in an eclipse is entirely different from what you know” (Dillard 6). Dillard has heard about the total eclipse and has seen a partial eclipse before, but not a total one. The total eclipse changes Dillard drastically as it allows her to change her viewpoints on human life and the place of humans in the universe. She realizes life is immeasurable. Dillard draws the attention to the audience about the natural world. After viewing the total eclipse, she understands that experience is over theories. She conveys the idea to the audience of opening your…

    It’s amazing how much I’ve learned in the past eight months at Fortis Institute. It’s just so hard to believe that less than two weeks we will be done with my education. I must admit I will miss spending my time here. But most of all I will never forget the experience I received as an Intern Medical Assistant working with Patients. 
Making a difference in someone’s life just fascinates me, knowing that I have the power to help someone. Working at North Belt Medical Clinic as a Medical Assistant intern is one of the greatest life experience. I will not trade it in for any other work field. Becoming an assistant also supplies knowledge of the most intimate interactions of the natural processes, giving a glimpse of processes that are not easy to understand. At this Center the patients are Diabetes related. As I spend more time as an intern at this Clinic I was inspired by Dr. Willie Harrison who helped and gave hope to many of these people, had myself raise some questions on the concepts and wonder what it would be like to be a part of the North Belt Medical team or somewhat relate to this field. I believe that Medical Assistant program classes at Fortis Institute help gave me an opportunity to pursue my passion for helping those with medical problems and let me feel at ease on the first hand training at the North Belt Medical Clinic. At the North Belt Medical Clinic I learn to Answering phones and making appointments ordering supplies, greeting patients, pulling and filing patient charts, calling in or faxing prescriptions, converting charts to electronic charting. Hopefully I can take these skills I learn and better myself in life.…

    When considering my attributes as a medical school applicant, I am convinced that I would be a great fit for the Creighton University School of Medicine community. As mentioned in my previous response, I am from a Christian background and intend to continually pursue my relationship with God throughout my years in medical school. Seeing as though Creighton is founded in a religious tradition, my belief in God makes me an excellent example for the reinforcement of the Catholic tradition. My heart has been set on the pursual of good and helping others since a very young age which has led me to a career in medicine, a character trait that fits in well with Creighton University’s endeavor to improve the human condition. As well as my religious background and heart to serve others, I place a lot of emphasis on self-discipline and strive for excellence in all aspects of my life.…

    The journey to medical school has by no means been an effortless one. Choosing the non-traditional route to complete my studies has not only equipped me with the maturity necessary to excel in medical school, but also the knowledge required to overcome the challenges I may encounter during my journey. Upon completing my undergraduate studies at FSU, I subsequently went on to complete additional post baccalaureate science courses at both Miami Dade College and Florida International University. Also, I have recently completed my Masters degree in Biomedical Science at Barry University. During my undergraduate and graduate years, I maintained full time employment, which has taught me the art of time management; a trait I believe will be essential to my success while in…

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

    Never would I have expected one of my first experiences in class at Miami Dade College to have excited me as much as this class has so far. One of the reasons I feel so ecstatic to begin this class is the loving vibe that the class throws off. This class isn’t just a class you go to, do your work, and go about your day outside of the class walls, it is a class that is intentional. You cannot leave this class without it impacting your life in some beautiful way. This class excites me because we will be participating in the WOW Center. Contrary to usual class regimen, I will be teaching others, while teaching myself. This class is here to expand our minds, and not just to assign busy work. Through serving at the WOW Center, we will be learning…

    Going into my freshman year of college at The College of Charleston, I was unsure how the college experience would affect the next four years of my life; however, after nearly two semesters of coursework, career exploration, playing division one baseball, and being involved in the community, I have decided that the Honors College is the best path for me. I have set my mind on majoring in Biology and pursuing a career as a physician. The interdisciplinary studies, Honors Immersed, and the community involvement through Honors Engaged the Honors College offers directly line up with what I want to pursue outside of the classroom with regards to medicine and exploration into the sciences. These aspects of the Honors College will not only put me closer to achieving my goal of getting into Medical School, but I know I will enjoy them, as I have a passion for learning and helping others.…

    Her never ending support & guidance drove me to be academically focused my entire life. During high school, I was in a veterinary science program where I had my first form of medical training. Determined to graduate on time with a biology degree, I took courses over the summer every year. I personally visited UB and CCNM to explore ND school options. Upon learning what the naturopathic curriculum entails, I chose to take elective courses that would increase my success as a naturopathic medical student. I expanded my knowledge on NM elsewhere at the “Florida School of Holistic Living” & “The Center for Natural & Integrative Medicine”. I was also given the valuable experience of shadowing an acupuncturist. Her hands on instruction & advice will stay with me throughout naturopathic medical school & beyond. While I acknowledge the intensity & rigor naturopathic medical school may ensue, I am extremely driven, motivated & prepared to work at my highest potential in order to complete the program & become a naturopathic…

    As I sit here writing my first essay for Honors 101, I get to recall my decision making process to supposedly spending the best four years of my life at the University of Mississippi. To be honest, I believe I am very blessed to have an in-state school with the prestige such that of Ole Miss. Among others, a major reason I decided to come to Ole Miss was because of the low cost of tuition due to scholarships in return for a high value of education. From a young age, I have always been fascinated with Ole Miss’s rich history and breathtaking campus. All throughout my adolescence, family members with medical backgrounds have drilled into me to go to UMC to pursue a medical degree after my undergraduate studies. I believe it was part of my plan…
