    Pre-Med Reflection

    • 119 Words
    • 1 Page

    Even as a sophomore, I understood that helping others succeed is essential. In my later years, I have perceived firsthand how vital such teamwork is. When a patient is admitted to the hospital for an operation, the pathologists, the nurses, the physician assistants, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and pharmacists all play a vital role in the concerted delivery of health care. In spite of this, many professors at Duke encourage incessant competition between pre-med students. Many of our courses are curved, and that means that it is in each student’s best interest for his or her peers to do poorly. This is not representative of the cooperative nature of the health care professions, nor is the increased competition conducive to learning.…

    With less than a year left of school, I’ve been applying myself in so many different areas in order to better myself as a future doctor. Volunteering, shadowing and extra-curricular activities have all been part of my doings. I've got to admit these past three and a half years have been, by far, extremely interesting and challenging. I have been learning about life, health, body systems and their functions. It is fascinating to learn about the biological and chemical make-up of the human body and the countless processes that are occurring constantly within us. I am looking forward to entering medical school to learn in an even greater detail about the many different interactions with our body systems.…

    In order to attend a medical school, the student must complete a four year bachelor’s degree prior to submitting an application. Most pre med students tend to major in a science since medical school is focused on science. ”Majoring in the biological sciences is desirable because not only is it interesting, it is also very convenient since most biological science majors have already incorporated all the medical school prerequisites”(Edward Chang). But student can also major in english, political science or business but it won’t help…

    I’ve learned in psychology that you can meditate to refresh yourself and keep things back on track. Meditation is also a safe and simple way to balance your physical, emotional, and mental state and more and more doctors are encouraging patients to practice meditation to cure many stress related illnesses. Everyday most of us experience stress in many different ways and I believe many people are simply not aware of how much stress we actually hold on to. One of the greatest positive effects of meditation is how it allows the body to distress. Normally life threatening situations trigger off the stress response which enables us to act without contemplation and deliberation and survive intense situations using fast…

    Throughout my education, science based courses have been a central core. One course that left an indelible mark was called, “Medical Careers”. I had the invaluable opportunity to shadow and learn hands-on material from both doctors and nurses at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Hospital. It was not until then that I decided to pursue a career in the medical field. However, in such an extensive field, it was difficult to narrow down to a single profession.…

    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…

    Preoperative Education

    • 315 Words

    As discussed in the preceding parts of the essay, preoperative education does help improve patients’ post-operative pain outcomes comparing with people who do not receive education (Kearney et al., 2011). As for DVT and SSI, many research indicated the shortened length of hospitalisation and improved patient outcomes rather than emphasize the specific statistically significant outcomes on reduced DVT or SSI (Chua et al., 2017; Jones et al., 2011). However, the improved patient outcomes can be interpreted as reduced incidence of post-operative complications, therefore, preoperative education has positive impacts on preventing complications to some degree but still need more consistent evidence.…

    A Career As A Pediatrician

    However, I am not going to let this discourage me because I believe that I was born to be a pediatrician. I tried to look through a list of jobs, but I couldn’t find one that suits me better than medicine. With all the information I gathered from my research, I will try to find ways to make being a medical student an enjoyable trip despite the years that it will take me. “Success is not a destination, but the road that you’re on.

    I, like most pre-medicine students,thought I knew what a career in medicine was all about. After all, like most, I spent hundreds of hours shadowing a number of physicians and volunteering in hospitals. It was only through my two year experience as a medical scribe, both in the ER and in an oncology clinic, that I truly understood all the faces of medicine. Medicine, contrary to what I thought prior to my scribing experience, isn't always glorious. As a scribe I have witnessed many of my patients, both in the ER and in the oncology clinic, die and I have dealt with the emotional toll that it brings. I have sacrificed my social life, family life and often times given up my free time to my work. I have even slept on hospital grounds in an effort to make back-to-back shifts. Yet, despite seeing and living through the less glorious sides of medicine, I continue to wake up hungry every day to accomplish my dream of becoming an oncologist. Medical school will, undoubtedly, be a challenging and gruesome experience. It will test my will, mental power and commitment to my goals and thanks to my experience as a scribe, I can truly say, with confidence, that I am ready for any obstacles that come my…

    I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…

    The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum and the competitive medical schooling is a fair trade for the lives I can save. Earning a medical degree comes along with demanding schooling, disciplined studying, and meticulous training, but in the end the degree is worth all the sacrifices.…
