Why Attend Meharry Medical College
I wish to attend Meharry Medical College because my greatest desire is to provide first class healthcare in underserved and impoverished communities. As a first generation Nigerian-American I have witnessed firsthand, the tragedy of inadequate health care in poverty-stricken communities coupled with a shortage of competent primary care physicians. There are many people suffering, with no hope due to debilitating diseases. I am confident that Meharry will provide me with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to meet these people at their point of need. I want to attend Meharry Medical College because this institution breeds unique physicians who contribute greatly to society and I want to be one of them.

    Sidney Kimmel Medical College Application Report

    After spending the entire summer participating in the St. Mary Medical Center’s pre-med program in Langhorne, I genuinely fell in love with Philadelphia. Summer was not as hot as Davidson College in North Carolina while winter was not as cold as Boston University. I had a great time listening to Philadelphia Orchestra on weekends, and no place could outcompete Philadelphia’s soft pretzels. For these reasons, I became interested to apply to medical school in Philadelphia, hoping that I could potentially stay in this location to serve the community like physicians in St. Mary Medical Center. Among several universities in Philly, I specifically became interested in Sidney Kimmel Medical College, since the school offers an opportunity for students to engage in the community service through JeffHOPE, and I could receive well-rounded education in clinical experience, science instruction, and professional development.…

    Currently, my aspirations lie towards Pediatrics. With frequent visits to the doctor’s office due to illnesses and infections from my vesicoureteral reflux as a child, the health care setting became a place I was comfortable with. Furthermore, my experiences volunteering at Kids Come First Community Health Clinic and tutoring disadvantaged children through Project Literacy have confirmed my desire to work with this population.

    Bd 101 Public Policy Essay

    My main motivation for taking this course is from my Bridging Disciplines Certificate in Social Inequality, Health and Policy. I became involved in this program because of a growing interest in health disparities and health care system differences. As a pre-med biology major, I had not had a lot of exposure to the non-scientific side of medicine and health in general. However, after traveling to Peru for a month to do medical volunteer work and taking a sociology course that discussed social determinants of health, I came to realize that there is a connection between health and social circumstances that is impossible to ignore. This led me to an interest in the factors that create a person’s social circumstances, which…

    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.…

    Essay About Education In America

    I plan to complete all of my education to practice medicine, so I plan to provide medical services to citizens not only of America, but impoverished countries which are truly in need of my services. One of my peers was recently in Guatemala providing medical services. He treated a woman 8 months into her pregnancy, who had walked 4 miles for his service. In my opinion, it is unacceptable that our bothers and sisters of the world are not benefitting from the advancements and innovations of medicine. It is my societal obligation to extend my knowledge to assist people desperately in need of assistance and care. It is my obligation to continue learning and remaining updated with the latest treatments and technology. I want to make the world a better place and help the global…

    Research Paper On Job Shadowing

    I grew up in Ghana, West Africa. As a result, I lived in a community that lacked sufficient basic health care. Most visits to the hospital were burdensome not only because of my illness at that time but also because of the sight of sick people without hospital beds and enough doctors. Each stay at the hospital left me wondering," What extraordinary skill do I need to provide good outcomes to Ghana's health care?" Through my experiences of job shadowing and volunteering both in Ghana and in the USA, I have come to realize that being an effective physician is not about doing something extraordinary. Genuine acts of service and sincere care for patients are those that can change a patient’s life.…

    Observing the Positive Side of the Medical Profession

    People who decide to become medical doctors need to make several sacrifices. The training to become a doctor is long and difficult. Furthermore, it does not end with school because doctors are required to learn about new problems and advances in the field of medical science for the rest of their lives. However, there is a positive side in becoming a doctor. It is not just about learning complicated procedures and going through rigorous training. Being a doctor means that a person is required to nurture the positive fundamental characteristics of the human mind. Doctors have to be truthful, both to their patients and their patients' relatives. They need to be above discrimination. If a doctor practices medicine with a correct attitude and respect towards the oaths taken, that person has an opportunity to develop all positive qualities of a human being and improve people's living standards without sacrificing their own.…

    Health Care Is Important

    Out of all of the developed Islands of The Bahamas, only two Islands (Grand Bahama and New Providence) have major hospitals. As the Prime Minister of The Bahamas I will ensure that every Island has adequate equipment, supplies and manpower (nurses and doctors) but more importantly, the Family Islands. In 2011 Health Minister Huber Minnis stated, “Finding qualified Bahamian personnel to staff community clinics in the Family Islands remain a challenge for the Ministry of Health”. (Russell, 2011). According to the minister, the clinics on those Islands are being utilized, but there may be a need for more physicians there. More than 80% of the physicians on the Family Islands are non- Bahamian. As the prime minister I will spend a large amount of money educating Bahamian individual in the medical field and have them sign contracts/bonds that will ensure that upon completion they will work on Family Islands. As the leader of my country I will encourage young Bahamians to go into the medical/ health care field by giving full scholarships to all who meet the requirement; stressing the importance…
