STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I have always felt a strong need to reduce human suffering and help people who are sick and this has been the influential force in choosing my career. The idea of becoming a medical professional since my childhood made me much interested in life sciences. Belonging to a country where the ordinary man does not have access to basic medical facilities, it was but natural for me to dream of a career which would enable me to improve the health conditions of the society.

I encountered many people with lack of knowledge about the medical issues and inability to properly utilize the available medical resources due to lack of education about health care. Coming from a family that has absolute faith in the power of trying,I decided to try and change these deplorable conditions which led me to the field of medicine.

Owing to my good academic record at school and college, I got admission into a college known for its focus on learning. I completed my graduation (BDS) in August 2011 from NTR University of health sciences which is an esteemed university all over India.

I have always balanced my education with extracurricular activities. All through my school and college life, I enjoyed participating in debates, sports etc. I was a school pupil leader and was a member of National Cadet Corps during secondary education and have worked towards maintaining the integrity of nation. I have attended conferences and live workshops which made me understand the rapid advancements made in the field of dentistry. Iam also working as a dentist in a private hospital from the past 1 year so that I could gain the experience required to make me a good doctor.

I developed an interest in Oral Biology during my 3rd year where I learned about advanced diagnostic techniques and in my final year I studied periodontics where I understood the pathogenesis and therapeutic approaches for the management of various diseases. Convergence of these basic and clinical

    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…

    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.…

    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…

    Family members would often call me with questions regarding their health. During my Internship as part of medical school, a 50-year-old presented to the clinic with numbness of his legs. His initial lab works showed increased blood sugar levels and increased hba1c levels and after doing an EKG I was able to confirm that he had suffered from a silent Myocardial Infarction. He was later started on appropriate treatment and when I met him later for outpatient follow-up, the whole family reported to be indebted to me for diagnosing a hidden problem. This really overwhelmed me and made me realize the kind of satisfaction I was able to provide a family by being an Internist. This also proved me that I had the thought process to untie the complexity involved and come up with a broad differential diagnosis. Taking up challenges is one of my attributes and I feel an Internist faces unique Intellectual challenges on a daily basis. From my experience, I can say that even a small change in someone’s life will make a difference, like when I was talking to my Aunt who is a diabetic, was complaining of muscle pain and after diagnosing her condition as medication-induced, I witnessed how peaceful she was after eliminating the…

Serving and improving the lives of others is a fundamental duty that I believe should be a part of everyone’s personal mission.

    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. I recognized the extent of effective communication with patients from diverse backgrounds. My personal experiences have helped me to…
