Pathophysiology Personal Statement

My fascination with research began with my father. Over a decade ago, he suffered a “widow maker” heart attack. Thanks to the prompt medical care he received at the hands of skilled physicians, he survived. Since that day, I have curiously observed as my father’s physicians have worked to scientifically and strategically optimize his health. My father’s ongoing journey has been an inspiration for my career as well as my research interests. It has been a privilege applying the lessons I have learned from him about patient care to the care of my own patients. My father ailment taught me a lesson that I needed to embark on to the research and get to the root of the fatal diseases and find the way of prevention and improving patients’ life.
As
in clinical Angio-Cardio-Thoracic Pathophysiology and Imaging will not only provide me with more specific knowledge and research opportunities at the graduate level, but it will serve as a foundation for a career in the field of cardiothoracic diseases and Imaging. An academic career would allow me to continue lifelong Angio-Cardio-Thoracic Pathophysiology research and contributions to the science of cardiothoracic diseases and imaging. Attaining a Ph.D. in this field would allow me the very special and desired opportunity to teach and counsel others while expanding my knowledge base and continuing the educational
During my academic years in medical school, I shadowed Dr. Abdul Wahid Wasiq, a cardiologist, at Kandahar university faculty of medicine; I assisted on cardiothoracic disease evaluation and saw patients in the clinic. Over several years, I saw complex cardiac related cases that very few hospitals see. What impressed me most was that despite the gruesome diseases with major complications, nothing fazed the cardiologists. In every case, they went to work meticulously assessing and assisting patients with emergent needs and live saving aids. My time at Kandahar University reinforced the unique capability that the cardiothoracic team had not only to heal patients but to boost their
