In the article “Dog Lab,” writer Claire McCarthy shares with readers her experiences during medical school. She would bury herself in her studies. She feels that school is the most important thing. McCarthy believed that in order to become a good physician her physiology mark must be significantly high because it was the subject she believed to be the most relevant in becoming a doctor, however, the class had a “dog lab.” It was not required, but recommended by the professor.…

The overall goal of this course encompasses fostering biological literacy among students ensuring that students are prepared academically and experimentally with the basic biological concepts needed to facilitate their understanding of life processes and the ability to incorporate newer biological concepts when applicable. The course will provide a biological framework from which students will be able to gain a better view of the structure and function of the human body.…
The curriculum represents an intense program of study that provides a broad biomedical education at a level consistent with the first year of a medical, dental, and optometry schools. Today I am proud to say I earned my Master of Science degree at Barry University and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I was confident that by excelling in my classes in graduate school, I would be able to strengthen my academic credentials, develop the skills needed to improve my OAT scores, improve my OptomCAS application, and then hopefully become worthy of being accepted into Nova Southeastern University’s College of…

I have always been a person who has found herself torn between the love of chemistry and biology. The manner by which all natural schemes of the human body work and even methods by which they could be manipulated to create something desirable, to where one can produce the answers to someone's problem is such a powerful and a blessed ability. At fourteen years, I was a dedicated, immensely caring, and vibrant young lady with great dreams aspiring to become a medical doctor. For the final two years of secondary school, I successfully…

The objective of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the normal function of the human body. At the end of this class, students should be able to recognize and explain the basic concepts that apply to each organ system as well as their integration to maintain daily physical activities and response to perturbations such as exercise, illness, and trauma. The organ systems covered include: cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, nervous and muscle. Application of newly mastered basic science principles to clinical scenarios is used to facilitate integration of the course content and to foster problem solving skills.…
To begin, throughout high school, I have been tremendously fervent about the medical field, specifically Biology. After high school, I look forward to attending the University of South Dakota for four years to obtain a Bachelor of Science, with my major as Biology. Subsequent to that I will be in attendance at a school of Optometry, to obtain a Doctorate in Optometry. To prepare myself for college, I have engaged in supplemental curricula such as Calculus, Advanced Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy Terminology, and Anatomy Physiology in high school.…
I have learned so many things this semester that I never thought I would learn. I learned how to measure vital signs, how to identify what kind of food poisoning someone has, what the percentage is for a child of someone with Huntington’s disease, and so much more. I don’t think that I will end up in a biomedical science career, but who knows what the future will bring?…
My whole childhood has climaxed to this crucial point of my life- my first footsteps into the world of medical science. I soared past elementary, middle, and high school in the hopes of becoming a professional in the healthcare industry, and what were once dreams is now becoming a reality. My general education classes at UCSD have trickled down to more specialized courses particular to my major, human biology. I have always appreciated the vastness of the human body and the many ways it can manipulate treatments to increase its performance and efficiency. Applied Medical is an advanced technological medical company that uses the skills of people with a wide range of backgrounds, such as engineering, clinical research, multimedia design, finance, and more, to create progressive minimally invasive and general surgical instruments. Applied…
The journey to medical school has by no means been an effortless one. Choosing the non-traditional route to complete my studies has not only equipped me with the maturity necessary to excel in medical school, but also the knowledge required to overcome the challenges I may encounter during my journey. Upon completing my undergraduate studies at FSU, I subsequently went on to complete additional post baccalaureate science courses at both Miami Dade College and Florida International University. Also, I have recently completed my Masters degree in Biomedical Science at Barry University. During my undergraduate and graduate years, I maintained full time employment, which has taught me the art of time management; a trait I believe will be essential to my success while in…
I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…
After graduating from Oakland University in 2010 with a Bachelor's degree in Health Science, I joined the Detroit Medical Center as a laboratory technologist because I wanted to learn about clinical instruments and their technology. As a Medical Technologist, I process blood, urine and other body fluids on advanced chemistry and toxicology analyzer to aid physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. These instruments aid the technologist by automating very complex and time consuming process. The instruments can be programmed to automatically upload results to physicians in real time, streamlining patient care while holding back abnormal results for review by the technologist before they are released to the physicians. Personal and professional experiences in health care have given me a vision about where I want my career to progress and have encouraged me to pursue a degree in Health Information Technology.…
