Med
School Essay One
As
a potential medical student, I will strive to be a tremendous
asset to The Chicago Medical School by devoting all my time
and life to becoming an excellent physician. I believe that
I am obligated to use my talents in a constructive manner,
in a manner that benefits society. The medical career gives
me the unique opportunity to express my many talents while
benefiting human life.
B.
Berston M.D. once said: “ ... a funny thing happens to medical
students on their way to becoming physicians: they forget
how to hold a conversation.” I believe that my ability to
communicate makes me well suited to pursue a medical career.
While I possess the strong science background necessary
for success in the profession, I also consider myself a
“ people” person. As a waiter and bartender, I dramatically
improved and expanded my communication skills since I was
constantly meeting new people and discussing different topics.
Because people constantly disclosed their personal issues
to me as a bartender, I learned to become not only a good
conversationalist, but also an excellent listener.
In
medical school, I also plan to pursue side work educating
students and serving as a resource to the public. One of
my most rewarding experiences has been tutoring high school
students in math, physics, and biology, and helping people
in my choir learn Byzantine music. Always able to develop
a good rapport with students, I believe I possess a talent
for teaching others in a friendly manner and in a manner
that helps them to grasp difficult concepts easily. As part
of my medical career, I will aim to continue teaching and
to provide information to the public on the prevention and
treatment of ailments and diseases.
Undoubtedly
my cultural diversity will be a great contribution to The
Chicago Medical School. Being raised in a Greek family in
Canada, visiting different countries, and now living in
the United States, I have experienced the similarities and
differences among many diverse cultural groups and geographical
areas. This allowed me to relate to different types of people
by understanding their ways and beliefs, a quality that
will help me work well with other medical students and help
me serve my patients better in the future.
Highly
motivated to succeed, I dramatically improved my grades
following a time of confusion and immaturity in 1990 and
1991,which was brought on by family illness and turmoil.
Once I realized what goal I wanted to pursue in life, I
worked hard to succeed, and my remaining five years of schooling
are truly indicative of my intellectual capacity and motivation
for success. My strength as a candidate to The Chicago Medical
School lies mostly in the objectives that I plan to fulfill
upon becoming a physician. They are, in no particular order
of importance, as follows:
1)
To provide excellence in comprehensive care by using my
acquired skills as both a competent professional and also
as a compassionate human being.
2) To cultivate my leadership role both in the community
of my practice and in the nation to formulate and maintain
health care principles and advancements.
3) To employ the latest knowledge and techniques in detection
and prevention of disease, and the restoration of health.
4) To develop and employ methods to take care of an aging
population.
5) To show reverence for human beings by giving excellent
care to all
6) To forever expand my knowledge through experience, continuing
education courses, and research.
I
have been diligent in my pursuit of medicine as a career
because I am convinced that medicine offers me the opportunity
to live a fulfilling, rewarding life dedicated to helping
others. I will enter medicine eager to learn and thirsting
for the knowledge to help my fellow human beings. Attending
The Chicago Medical School would be one of the greatest
rewards for my motivation and persistence for success. I
swear to uphold and exceed all that is expected of a future
physician while promoting the progress of medicine and humanity.
