With this being said‚ I have come to the conclusion that my career must involve research as a major component in conjunction with patient care. Biomedical Science appeals to me as it is a collaboration of learning and practical work‚ both of which I hugely enjoy. Throughout my current course‚ I have thoroughly enjoyed studying cell biology‚ genetics and disease and infection. I found great interest

of interest that evolves into a challenging‚ yet rewarding‚ journey. My interest in science developed early in high school through the encouraging words of a biology teacher. That carried on in my undergraduate career when I decided to major in Biomedical Physics‚ a unique and small degree program‚ which helped me integrate my interest in physical science with medicine. It became evident that I was to pursue a career in the science field‚ and during my time in 4-H I discovered the desire to serve
