While technology may shape the future of the human race, only humanity can touch individual lives. Even the greatest advances in medical knowledge and techniques require similar progress in healthcare accessibility, better education about health issues, and strong doctor-patient relationships. Spending time watching the doctors and talking to patients convinced me that, in addition to my research in technology, I wanted to work directly with people who are in need of help.
I am excited to be back on my original path towards medicine, and am confident that my computer science skills will add much value as I research medical technology. My work at the hospital has shown me that there is much room for improvement in the medical industry, particularly when it comes to educating people on how to improve and maintain their health. Unfortunately, I see a lot of ignorance in the hospital, as people come in with problems that are solely based on poor nutrition and a general lack of medical knowledge. For this reason, I want to become a doctor not just to treat but also to educate people.
Due to the additional time I must spend building a background in biology, I have not had a chance to begin a medical internship. However, I am dedicated to my work on a Web site that educates people on nutrition, lifestyle and more. My current position involves researching articles on nutrition and designing the site with that information to help educate people. I am confident that my research skills will be of great benefit when I become a doctor, as my knowledge of health...
Another reason is that I would like to give my parents the satisfaction of having a son who is a doctor. However, the most important reason is that I believe that I have so much to offer patients.
In my own career as a physician, I will strive to serve my patients not only as a healer, but also as a friend, supporting them in their toughest moments, and as a teacher, guiding them to live healthy lifestyles. Computers and technology may assist in my endeavors, but they will never duplicate the compassion of doctors.
As someone who has always been goal-oriented and dedicated to making the most out of life, I am looking forward to beginning medical school. My life to date has prepared me to deal with many challenges and also has shown me the determination, resilience, strength, and love for mankind that are rooted in my personality. As I look toward my future in medicine, I believe these qualities will enable me to succeed and be a valuable asset to the medical industry.
My experiences so far have been very rewarding and I anticipate that working as a doctor will be equally rewarding and look forward with great enthusiasm. Given the opportunity, I will make the most of my years at medical school and graduate with the skills and knowledge needed to be a professional caregiver.
Mexican-Americans' Perceptions of Culturally Competent Care:" Peer Journal Review One of the most important goals of any health care provider is insuring the highest level of safe and effective care for their patients. In previous years, the role of cultural influences on patient care, as well as on provider service, has been largely ignored. Today, however, most researchers and health care workers fully recognize the immense influence culture can exert on the success,
Mexican Women a) Luz Maria Gordillo wrote Mexican Women and the Other Side of Immigration because the stories of women are often excluded in analyses of immigration. The focus of this book is on 20th century cross-border narratives, and touches upon issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, and identity. The author's focus is 20th century cross-border experiences. The book is not for or against anyone. However, the author argues in favor of
Low-Context cultural factors assumes that very little is taken for granted; this dictates that there is less chance of misunderstanding various cultural aspects of a specific group or society. Hall draws the parallel between the French and American cultures to highlight the difference between High Context and Low Context ("Hall's Cultural Factors," 2010). Hall asserts that French contracts are shorter in page count than American contracts. This is due to
Acculturation Cultural and racial diversity are characteristics that permeate our society. The cultural differences that are present in people from different backgrounds have an impact on nearly every aspect of life. The field of psychology and the manner in which psychological treatment is delivered is profoundly affected by the cultural background of the client. The purpose of this discussion is to analyze and synthesize current or recent Literature looking at the
Because Chavez also deployed faith and prayer in achieving his goal, he was able to fuse the Christian religion that was so important to the farm workers into a vital element of the Chicano movement in a way that advanced rather than impeded its political struggles. Part 3, entitled "Taking Back the Schools," brings an urban dimension to the struggle for Chicano rights. The high drop out rate, crumbling buildings,
Resentment toward Hispanics grew constantly from their arrival in New Mexico. Amerindians in the present day are also reluctant to accept Hispanic customs and their traditions have not changed much in the last centuries (Silverberg, 1970, p. 70). Politics is a domain rarely dealt with by Native Americans in New Mexico, mostly because of the discrimination they risk facing as a result of joining politics in an Anglo-dominant government and because
