What Are Your Personal Career Goals Of Becoming A Physician

One of my personal career goals is to increase quality of care to lower socioeconomic neighborhoods. Growing up in Germany access to health care was universal; however, when I moved to the United States I realized that a large population does not have access to quality healthcare . During my many talks with our residents I have learned about the disparities in their patients whereas one group of patients receives an abundance of services another group only receives the bare minimum of health care services. Providing care to the medically needy has been one of the determining factors of becoming a physician. Participating in the program would provide me a greater understanding of the health disparities in the medical field as well as provide
me with an understanding of the challenges associated with caring for the underserved population. The program could assist lobbying for resources necessary to provide quality of care as well as increase the access to care for the medically underserved population.
