Educators teach and lead their students to success. In a similar manner, internal medicine will give me the opportunity to empower my patients to be in control of their health. I am certain that I would not be satisfied with the pursuit of anything other than internal medicine as a career when skills I have acquired during my clinical training could have a much more visceral application in understanding and alleviating real distress experienced by people daily. As my interest in internal medicine was deepening, I better understood the applications my character and personal experience could have in this field.
