iOLLIVER JACKSON UCAS ID: 1112205288 INTERVIEW DATE: 27/11/2013 ALTERNATIVE PERSONAL STATEMENT – BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES The human body is fascinating. It is astounding the way in which we are beginning to understand how our own complex infrastructure works‚ including the composition and function of each individual cell and molecule. The variety of specialities within Biomedical Sciences‚ such as genetics and neuroscience‚ is one of the main reasons I chose this degree. The human body is an intelligent

Examine biomedical‚ individual and group approaches to treatment. Biomedical: 1. Phobias: As a treatment for phobias rarely used on its own – Benzodiazepines (Valium‚ Sobril‚ Xanax‚ Xanor‚ Mogadon‚ Rohypnol) enhance the effectiveness of GABA. When a single dose is compared to a single psychotherapy session for dental anxiety‚ the dose was worse. 2. Depression: Serotonin hypothesis: inadequate amount between synaptic gap for effective transmission to occur. Drugs aim to increase

Biomedical engineering is a very broad kind of engineering‚ comprised of many elements. There are several different topics to research more in depth‚ like tissue engineering‚ genetic engineering‚ building prosthesis or even making artificial organs. Artificial organ building is an advanced technology to help improve the quality of life‚ but has many ethical arguments many people do not agree with. Dr. Alan Flake is the leader of a project at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‚ where they are

of interest that evolves into a challenging‚ yet rewarding‚ journey. My interest in science developed early in high school through the encouraging words of a biology teacher. That carried on in my undergraduate career when I decided to major in Biomedical Physics‚ a unique and small degree program‚ which helped me integrate my interest in physical science with medicine. It became evident that I was to pursue a career in the science field‚ and during my time in 4-H I discovered the desire to serve

functions and develop treatments and initiatives that will improve the health of people all over the world. With this being said‚ I have come to the conclusion that my career must involve research as a major component in conjunction with patient care. Biomedical Science appeals to me as it is a collaboration of learning and practical work‚ both of which I hugely enjoy. Throughout my current course‚ I have thoroughly enjoyed studying cell biology‚ genetics and disease and infection. I found great interest

engineering when I heard one of my teachers saying "Everything in universe is engineering‚ even the rise of sun and flight of birds have some engineering behind." I got interest in Biomedical engineering as my career for life because of its unique blend of life sciences with the technical skills of engineering. Biomedical is among the most rapidly growing discipline with the most attracting area for research and development. My preferred areas of interest remained in instrumentation and electronics

Critically discuss the biomedical model and social model of health and how they relate to lay perspective on health and illness. For this essay I will be analytically examining the models of health; the biomedical model and social model. I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of these models and how they relate to the lay person’s viewpoint on health and illness. Models of health are ‘conceptual frameworks’ or another method of thinking about health. The biomedical model of health has been

is instead priceless‚ yet many people contradict this belief when it comes to biomedical technology. Biomedical technology‚ the product of the medical field joining with the fields of engineering and science‚ is one of the fastest growing consumers of tax dollars. Although biomedical technology has been around for ages‚ it did not start to grow so exponentially until the post World War II era. Soon after WWII‚ biomedical technology research began to skyrocket and the discoveries it made were ground

therapies are safe‚ especially for children? Amongst the various alternative therapies available‚ ‘Biomedical Therapy’ is prominent. It is defined as the dietary modification and nutrition supplementations that target a person’s biochemistry with an aim of improved wellness. It also includes all complementary and alternative medicine approaches. It is usually the naturopathic physician who opts for biomedical therapy. Naturopathy aims at identifying and removing the causes of illness‚ rather than eliminating

that I wanted to be a biomedical engineer when I started my junior year of high school. Biomedical engineering is using the concepts of biology and design to improve or create products in the medical field. Biomedical engineering is a growing field because the baby-boomer generation is getting older and they are in need of medical devices. Biomedical engineering is something I am very excited to be able to study. I will explain to you what motivated me to pursue biomedical engineering‚ how previous
