¶ … Goals
Thank you in advance for your consideration of my application to become a scholar-practitioner at Walden University. My goals dovetail ideally with Walden's mission statement and I have always been an eager, quick learner thirsty for opportunities to help other people while bettering and challenging myself. I know that the Walden experience will challenge me and that is exactly what I expect and look forward to.
I pursue the field of clinical research because I know I am competent to work in this field and moreover, I consider the opportunity to participate in research that can potentially improve the lives of millions of people an exciting and wholly worthwhile endeavor.

Quite frankly, because I am working full time as an LPN / Clinical Manager I would not be in a position to pursue a Master's in Clinical Research Administration if it were not for Walden University's distance education program.
My objective, once I have received my M.S. In Clinical Research Administration from Walden University, is to be hired to work for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or the World Health Organization, or another esteemed and dynamic organization that works to address terrible illnesses like cancer and other maladies that afflict children.

In certain countries, an effective supervisor possesses basic teaching skills, facilitation skills, negotiation and assertiveness skills, counseling and appraisal skills, mentoring skills, and knowledge of learning resources and certification requirements (Kilminster). The most important aspect of the role of an effective supervisor is giving supervisee responsibility and the opportunity to practice it (Kilminster, 2000). Supervisees come to view the supervisor as a colleague and this leads them to become self-directed.
Since modern medicine can sustain patients with proper medical follow-up for years, it becomes incumbent on the profession to follow the patients and provide them with the knowledge and tracking to insure that they are observing the procedures and medications which prolong their quality of life. Given hospitals' short-term orientation with the patients, there is a need to bridge patient care before, during and after acute-care visits. While there are some

Work/Other Experience I think that my work experience is the greatest asset that I bring to Walden. I came to the U.S. from Trinidad and Tobago, which gives me a unique perspective on an important population that many hospitals serve, which are patients with immigrant backgrounds. I went through a lot to succeed in America. In the past, I worked as a Nurses Aid with disabled individuals. The rest of my
