ICU Personal Statement
Exhilaration, anticipation, and a heightened awareness of myriad details - these were the emotions I experienced the first time I encountered a case on my first night shift in ICU in my early fourth year of medical school. Hundreds of cases later, I am every bit as enthusiastic each time I step into the ICU. In the light of this and several other reasons, I am confident about my pursuit of a career in internal medicine.

“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others”- Lewis Carol. The main reason of life is to love and live for others. I like to help people, to interact with them, listen to them, and be part of their life. From my childhood I always been interested in (liked ragac cliched

I passed USMLE steps (თუ exams ხო არ ჯობია?...)and after graduation from my medical school I started working as a junior doctor in the cardiology department, where I spent two years and had a great experience treatingpatients under supervision of the attending, making decisions independently,and working as a member of the medical team. I want to develop more professionally and personally, and intend to take advantage of every learning opportunity and acquire the knowledge and skills to help my patients when they need that most. For these reasons I decided to study in US residency and become part of the best medical system in the world. I am willing to face challenges and assume responsibilities. I firmly believe that years of relentless work and dedication ultimately refine a human being into a confident and compassionate doctor. My years spent acquiring knowledge has allowed me to have a well-rounded approach to my patients. I have come to realize that humbling one’s self in front of medicine is the only way to develop and …show more content…
I worked for two years in medical schools as an invited lecturer that gave me good teaching skills and invaluable experiencein learning how to interact with students. During this period my interest for science never stopped; currently I am doing research which exposes me to the state-of-art-basic research and helps me acquire thorough understanding of all related disciplines. The fact that a career in academic medicine combines patient care, teaching, and clinical research that I value so much makes me realize how lucky I am to have found this

    Ever since I transferred to the University of Miami as an undergrad, I have had the gratification and honor to meet and work with various remarkable people, from physicians to scientists and staff. Doing research and shadowing at Miami Miller School of Medicine gave me the prospect to admire how marvelous the school and its community are. Furthermore, I have had the satisfaction to meet several professors who teach at the medical school and the prospect of learning from them is enticing. Being able to experience first-hand the compassion and care that the doctors at Miller demonstrate their patients have also confirmed that this school is not short of role models for me to follow. Additionally, I have met several students who have shared their…

    I interviewed Dr. Janet Geyer and received some great information from her. Geyer sand the hardest part of becoming a doctor was “The lack of personal time, everything became about school.” I knew that going into the medical field would be hard and the majority of my time would be spent studying, but hearing it from a doctor makes it real to me. I asked Geyer what makes her happy to be a doctor and why, she said “I like the intimate part of being a nurse, people tell me more than what they would normally tell others and sometimes I am really able to make a difference.” I thought about what she said and I would love to make a difference in someone’s life, but I also need to remember that I cannot get too attached to my patients. Geyer said that if she could go back and give herself advice from when she was in college she would tell…

    With less than a year left of school, I’ve been applying myself in so many different areas in order to better myself as a future doctor. Volunteering, shadowing and extra-curricular activities have all been part of my doings. I've got to admit these past three and a half years have been, by far, extremely interesting and challenging. I have been learning about life, health, body systems and their functions. It is fascinating to learn about the biological and chemical make-up of the human body and the countless processes that are occurring constantly within us. I am looking forward to entering medical school to learn in an even greater detail about the many different interactions with our body systems.…

    In addition, my employment experience has provided me with great respect for social and ethical views that differ from my own. This position has given me the opportunity to decide if a career in medicine is truly where I would like to be. Working at the hospital has been a truly challenging experience through dealing with the magnitude of death, illness, and recovery. This experience has made me realize that a career in medicine is where I need to be. I have experienced a multitude of emotions and in the end I have realized that the reward of knowing that a life was saved or that through the death of a patient, we have made groundbreaking discoveries in medicine is far greater than the emotional tensity associated with the experience.…

    I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

I had the invaluable opportunity to shadow and learn hands-on material from both doctors and nurses at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Hospital. It was not until then that I decided to pursue a career in the medical field. However, in such an extensive field, it was difficult to narrow down to a single profession.…

    I had worked hard in school because of this desire to become a physician. But at a time I also became discouraged and worried about my future outlook. During my second semester of freshman year and going into sophomore year in college, I was still trying to figure out how to study properly and the troubles in physics and organic chemistry became a nightmare. On top of courses being difficult, I was also involved in a dance team, an active runner, and employed as an undergraduate peer advisor and TA, which became hard to balance. Sacrifices were made, which I came to realize is what a physician's job entails. I had never faced more of a…
