Medical Career Personal Statement
I am interested in this camp because my passion is healthcare and I love learning about it and being involved with it as much as possible I spend a large amount of my time learning about medical specialties and careers. I took two medical related classes this past school year (my junior year). They were Medical Terminology and Intro to Health Careers. Medical Terminology allowed me to learn more anatomy and pathology; Intro to Health Careers introduced me to some careers I may have never thought about before.
Up until this year, I had my heart set on going to medical school and becoming a surgeon. After taking health are classes and learning some responsibilities of other careers, I now know I have more options. I am currently looking at nursing schools to become a nurse anesthetist, which is another career I am intrigued by.

I have excelled in all science classes I have taken; including Biology I Honors, Biology II for dual college credit, Chemistry I, and AP Chemistry. Science, especially Health Science is my favorite and best subject.
I also hope this program can help me meet new people who share similar interests. I have been determined to be in the field of medicine for as long as I can remember, so it is nice to know others as driven as I am and also be able to discuss classes we share or future careers.
I have always known that I want to have a career in the medical field, but a future major is still undecided. This program could help me determine exactly what I would like to do for the rest of my

    I want to be a part of HSTE II because in the future I want to be a doctor. Right now I’m not very sure about what kind of doctor I want to be that is why I really want to be in this program so that I can experience all the parts in a hospital and find what kind of areas in the medical field that I’m really interested in, and which ones just don’t fit me and my interests. I don’t want to choose a path that I will end up regretting just because I don’t enjoy what I do. I am a person who loves to help and care for people, especially the people who really need the help, and I am a very quick learner. I always try to put myself in other person’s position because believe in the saying “Treat others the way you would like to be treated”. I intend to bring these major qualities of mine to the HSTE II class/clinical rotations because I think it is very important for someone in the medical field who attends to other people when they are at their lowest and weakest point to have these…

    "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.…

    I learned about this program long before I even entered high school, and although I dearly wished to attend since my freshmen year , the lack of money kept me from doing so.

    This millennial generation is key in determining health care years from now. There must be a rallying up of diverse young students who are interested in pursuing a career in health. Oftentimes, it is intimidating and sometimes discouraging for minorities to really commit to going after a health care career due to the stigma that has been created due to the types of people who have taken and are taking the healthcare field by storm. Encouragement, information, training, and exposure can all be beneficial to a young minority student who is wanting to go into health. Things should take place and be done way before medical or graduate school. The Summer Health Professions Education Program is a great example of a program that is taking the initiative to do something to help students way before medical school. This program is designed to recruit and prepare young, diverse, underrepresented students who will lead in health care. The impact that programs like this have made and will continue to make is astounding.…
