Healthcare Personal Statements Samples For Students

Healthcare is in a constant state of evolution. The education and training of Pharmacists is crucial to the advancement of the field and benefitting all of humanity. Traditionally, the intensive study of chemistry is the backbone of this education. The job of the Pharmacist is ever expanding and entails developing treatments, monitoring treatments of patients, providing for the last line of defense to the patient before he receives a potentially toxic substance, and otherwise caring for the ill. The modern era has seen a shortage of healthcare professionals; and pharmacology is one of the means that healthcare can be delivered to a broad ...

What is the meaning of life? Throughout history, people have asked themselves this question, coming to answers that vary greatly. In my case, I have seen that helping others is my true calling. In my personal history, there have been many significant events that have led me towards one path; particularly, some have had to do with my African ancestors, including my grandfather’s very impacting death. From my volunteer experiences, I have learnt the value and personal satisfaction that come with lending a helping hand to those in need. Then, after working at a hospital, I saw that ...

My name is Hoyi Tsui and I was born in 1991 in Hong Kong, China. While I was born in Hong Kong, I immigrated with my family to the United States when I was seven years old and have since lived in Salisbury, Maryland, which I consider my home. I always had a passion for biology and medicine and was thrilled to learn that a career in pharmacy was within my grasp after searching through a local community college catalog in 20011. Not long after this discovery, I found great success as a student in the college’s “Pharmacy ...

1. The extent to which you feel you have attained the course objectives. Please be specific and address each of the objectives.

I believe that the medical sociology is isolated as a social institution. As a social institution, medicine has value (objectives, principles, and codes), structure, and function, form its organization, symbols, statuses and roles (doctors, patients, government, etc.), the system of vocational stratification and vocational education. Allocation of medical sociology as an independent branch was only in the 50s of 19th century in the United States. For the first time, a new industry was in demand for sociological education student health professionals (Cockerham, 2011).

In this course I found that the concept of demography and the subject of her study and the population ...

Commitment to Helping Children and Families
Born premature four and a half months early weighing one pound 11ounces, many consider it a small miracle that I survived in that tiny body. Since my organs had not developed fully, I required special medical care in the neonatal intensive care unit. But here I am today, a healthy adult who has survived many challenges since the preemie stage of my life. Challenges that have given me an enormous sense of gratitude and motivation to serve as a social worker helping improve the lives of others. Why? Because during early childhood, my life was greatly ...

Healthcare is in a constant state of evolution. The education and training of Physician Assistants began in earnest with the shortage of trained medical staff during the Second World War. Traditionally, a Physician oversaw this work, and teamwork was an essential quality of a Physician’s Assistant. The job of the Physician Assistant entails conducting physical exams, making diagnoses, treating the ill, conducting tests and interpreting the results, prescribing medications, and otherwise counseling the patient or even assisting in surgeries. The modern era has seen a shortage of physicians; a problem that is particularly acute in primary care, and the Physician Assistant will be ...

My undergraduate education at Oklahoma State University has prepared me for whatever academic and professional challenges I may come by. At the outset of my academic career in Agribusiness, I had never imagined that I would find myself interested in studying Law. However, after a rigorous course load that touched on many issues of law, I became increasingly interested in the administration of power and concepts of sovereignty and jurisdiction. I also realized the ubiquity and necessity of agriculture to human endeavors and the benefit to development that large agricultural enterprises can bring. While some people view industrial farming and ...

Contributing to the Field of Emergency Medicine

Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, I was always curious and impressed with the human body: how we evolved in to big people from little bodies; how our skin and organs stretched; and how cells reproduced themselves. The older I got, the more my interest peaked about the wonders of the human body. However, during my senior year in high school when my father was admitted to the hospital to undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery, another type of curiosity was experienced. After surgery, he developed very serious complications that resulted in some breathing problems and internal bleeding. ...

Even though I have spent the past ten years as a Surgical Technologist and Surgical Assistant and work part-time at Dragula Cycle, my career interest has changed from the operating room to the manager’s office.
My interest in obtaining an MBA and advancing into management started after discovering there’s a need in the field of healthcare; and realizing that I can contribute and gain more personal career satisfaction being able to impact the lives of patients outside of the operating room.
Texas A&M Commerce ranked 5th in US News and World Report, as well as “Tier 2” ...

Through my friends enrolled in medical programs, and my parent’s friends, I have learned that medicine is a lifelong commitment to learning. Instead of going out to the party, evenings are spent revising material in order to benefit the future patients. Thus, in order to succeed at medical training there are several qualities that students must possess, namely: devotion, determination, and endurance. However, learning from books is not all it takes to be a good practitioner, and many years of experience are necessary until one actually becomes a master healer. The maladies of the patient have many nuances, and only a skillful ...

My admiration and inspiration for choosing immunology resulted from a book by Lauren M. Sompayrac on how the immune system works. I was fascinated with the basic mechanism for the human immune system and its ability to produce antibodies that fight toxins as well as reduce allergy cases. Intellectual curiosity regarding immunology deepened when completing my graduation project “Computers, Keyboard and Mice Contamination at ICU,” that resulted in a significant policy change at several healthcare institutions in my country. The project’s strong results eventually led to our paper being published in the Journal of Critical Care (October 2011, Volume 26, Issue ...

My passion for medicine was developed through the hope of a young girl. “Put on the scrubs,” the Psychiatrist told me as we entered the sterile hospital room of a sixteen-year old girl. I stood next to the doctor as she talked to the girl, a girl whose face and body were so completely wrapped in gauze it would have been difficult for her to cry. “Will my skin go back to normal?” she asked. The physician answered honestly, “I do not know for sure, even though the flesh-eating bacteria that deprived you of your skin is gone, it could leave scarring--but ...

Quality, I believe, is better than quantity. In the same spirit, I strongly believe that every endeavour has its time and season. As such, I have faith that by pursuing a degree program in nursing, I will be in a position not only to fulfil my long term dream, but to also achieve my greatest desire of helping humanity access quality health care. Globalization and increased application of technology has led to increased dependence on mechanized labour. Nonetheless, many countries, especially developing countries heavily rely on human capital. There is a significant need to appreciate the fact that productive ...

I am with the belief that the nursing profession is meant to be of service to the public, especially to those who may be undergoing both medical and financial difficulties. This belief has guided me throughout my career in that I have focused my efforts on the service of the less fortunate. For example, I am currently working as a trauma nurse in the Emergency Department (ED) of Highland Hospital, which is the only county hospital in Alameda County that caters to majority of the uninsured and under-served members of the county. I also work with a not-for-profit organization called Dainty ...

When I was a kid I lost my maxillary central incisors and that strongly impressed me as I can vividly recall feeling self-consciousness. I remember this period of inner turmoil, various dental procedures I had to come through which restored my self-confidence. I had experience later in my life which brought me face-to-face with people in a foreign land who struggled with dental health issues. These memories ultimately awaked within me a desire to become a dentist. While my self-consciousness helped me to appreciate the value of dental health, a series of treatments in the following years brought me to the place where my ...

Using the science and knowledge of physics in order to advance human health has a long provenance. Wilhelm Röntgen ushered-in the modern age of Medical Physics at the end of the 19th century and the breadth of the science has steadily widened since. The early advances in medical radiation revolutionized diagnostic medicine as imaging replaced fallible ears and diverse interpretations of tactile impressions as the chief method of diagnosis. Today, medical physics has progressed to therapeutic medicine with lasers replacing the scalpel and brachytherapy revolutionizing cancer treatment. The Medical Physics program at the University of Toledo is well equipped ...

The profession of nursing requires dedication, compassion, and a commitment to learning. The University of Texas’ unique dual masters program, comprising education leading to a Family Nurse Practitioner (UT School of Nursing) and a Public Health Masters (UT Public Health School) degree, will allow me to engage in the scientific inquiry that I relish, while at the same time preparing me for the challenge of helping difficult patients recover from their illnesses and injuries. I began my education in my native Romania, where I was a student in law.
While in law school, my father passed away as a result of colon cancer. ...

I believe medical school will give me the well-rounded education to fulfill my dream to become a Psychiatrist or Gynecologist. With the variety of programs, flexible schedules and affordable payments I will be able to pursue many options, but medical school is my dream and I believe medical school can make that dream a reality. To start experiencing the fun, yet academic, college experience, gaining knowledge and skills, and enhancing my career and professional life overall would mean the world to me. There are several things that shaped my decision to pursue my life long goal of practicing medicine; situations that ...

Ever since I was a child, I have had the desire to pursue a career in healthcare. I truly enjoy helping others reach their potential, and I believe that it only takes a little help and compassion to inspire great accomplishment. Although I have always been interested in the field of healthcare, it wasn’t until recently that I felt the specific desire to become an occupational therapist.
About a year ago, my mother fell while using the restroom. Her injuries were severe enough that she was unable to work for several months. As the weeks wore on, my mother’s usual ...
