Most recently, my immense passion for research, especially in the field of immunology, inspired me to seize an offer to work in Dr. Dat Tran's research lab at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston, Texas. I am currently studying the role of regulatory T-cells in immune suppression and disorders, such as Graft Versus Host Disease. This research experience has greatly expanded my research knowledge and skills.

My ultimate goal is to improve the practice and delivery of family practice as a leader and teacher in the clinical setting. Thank you for your time and consideration while reading my personal statement. I am looking forward to the next phase of my medical training with great excitement and strong commitment.

    I chose to apply to WVU SOM because of the university’s large social role and association with the state. I believe that I can contribute to WVU SOM’s communal ties to help foster change and improve healthcare on both a community scale and a state scale. I believe WVU will offer the opportunities to serve rural areas that lack access to health care, an issue I hope to also improve in my local community. I am interested in learning about the university’s and state’s plan to address underserved populations. Moreover, I believe WVU SOM’s program will provide me the tools to teach patients about their health. I believe transferring knowledge to the community will be the first step in encouraging and changing to healthy lifestyles.…

    Currently, my aspirations lie towards Pediatrics. With frequent visits to the doctor’s office due to illnesses and infections from my vesicoureteral reflux as a child, the health care setting became a place I was comfortable with. Furthermore, my experiences volunteering at Kids Come First Community Health Clinic and tutoring disadvantaged children through Project Literacy have confirmed my desire to work with this population. The early primary care clinical experiences and required primary care clerkships will help confirm that Pediatrics is the ideal fit for me.…

    "Make a difference today for someone who is fighting for their tomorrow"-Jim Kelly. Growing up residing in a small, under populated rural area I noticed how my community lacked access to health facilities and providers. Noting that this was a necessity to have, yet so scarce, I decided that being a health care provider was the career for me. I grew up always surrounded by the health care setting; my mother was a Lab Technician who worked with several Physician Assistants. I was often in her office during after school hours of my elementary/middle school years.…

    My passion for nursing began when I first shadowed a Family Nurse Practitioner at Mansfield Methodist Medical Center earlier this year. After spending my first week I could already tell that nursing is a highly demanding career that brings new challenges every day, but with it comes many rewards and a real sense of job satisfaction. It is through my work experience and knowledge gained from my undergraduate coursework that I have developed a desire to become a family nurse practitioner. Interacting with clients of all backgrounds and education levels has given me the desire to advance my knowledge and develop my educational skills so that I can more efficiently educate my surrounding population.…

    One of my most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I received a plastic toy stethoscope from my grandfather. Years later, I realize how it was not only a new plaything, but one that would inspire me to choose my future career path. While medicine is a tough field of study, I know that it is tougher still to toil the earth as my grandfather did in the hot indian summers. At his side after a long day’s work, I would help him at the night clinic he opened for free vaccinations. As I entered high school, I strived to embody such initiative and leadership by running for the Student Council and serving as Class Representative. Taking AP Biology and AP Environmental Science ignited my fascination about how living organisms and cellular systems effortlessly work together, grow, and adapt to their environment,…

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

    There are many aspects of health care that intrigue me. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse; unfortunately it is very difficult to get into the program. However, if I ever go back to do that, I would want to either do labor and delivery or pediatrics. I have had the privilege of witnessing the birth of one of my nieces and it was the most amazing experience. To be a nurse and being a part of that on a daily basis would be awesome. I also have an extra soft spot for children, which is why pediatrics would also be of interest to me. Life threatening diseases do not only affect adults. I feel that being able to help children would only be helping our future.…

    As a phlebotomist and young college student, I knocked on the door to find my fourth chemotherapy patient of the day unresponsive. It was my first “code blue.” A team of healthcare professionals rushed into the room and my attention was directed towards the physician assistant (PA) who was leading the team as he implemented advanced cardiac life support protocol. Witnessing the empathy, compassion and wisdom of the PA as he updated the family on the care plan for the patient, while spending the time to explain to the family and ensuring that all questions were answered strengthened my desire to develop the same compassionate interactions with a family and patients as a PA.…

    It almost feels like a chapter of Sherlock Holmes, where I can not only solve diagnostic mysteries but can also master the art of attention to detail and enlighten my patients with valuable knowledge. It amazes me how learning opportunities in Internal Medicine are endless, and with each rising day I might witness a new diagnostic challenge. My curiosity and characteristic vigilance have landed me with opportunities such as Vice-President of Global Affairs in Interact Club, Student Director of residence activities at my college, and researching and presenting various topics throughout my medical school career. These experiences allowed me to hone my leadership skills, ability to perform meticulous research, and planning while being keenly observant. I believe that Internal Medicine offers an intellectual platform where I can further master these traits and see a diverse range of patients, encompassing all the organ systems.…
