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…

Some common tasks include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examinations, and assisting physicians during examinations.

They also arrange examining room instruments and equipment, purchase and maintain supplies and equipment, and keep waiting and examining rooms neat and clean.…
While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…
While working at the University of Miami Hospital, I had the rare opportunity to shadow with Dr. Garcia-Soto who was a gynecology fellow at the time. She allowed me to sit in with her on two separate surgeries, one being a complete hysterectomy and the other being a vaginal tumor removal with the implantation of a vaginal stent. This experience has most significantly influenced my decision to study medicine because it has enlightened me about the practicalities of being a physician. For both surgeries I was able to follow Dr. Garcia-Soto through her rounds with the patients, listen as she described the procedures and set expectations, observe the surgical team prep the patient and operating room, and watch as she performed both procedures.…
