I will be soon celebrating my thirty-sixth birthday and still confronted with the same familiar questions I keep asking myself: "have I contributed to a positive change in people's lives or have I have lent them my ears when they feel traumatized with their problems?" Asking myself these questions is what has sparked a growing interest in the field-of-healthcare. For me, to pursue a career in healthcare will be a life fulfilling moment. Not only would I be opened to endless opportunities to specialize in the field of my interest, the prospect of working with others to give excellent health care will be
Samuel Hahnemann once said “The physician's highest calling, his only calling, is to make sick people healthy to heal, as it is termed.” Over multiple years of being posed the question “What do you want to be when you grow up? I have come to the conclusion that I want to become a physician or at least I think I do. Who wouldn’t want to help save lives? As a physician, I am presented with the opportunity to help better communities all around the world for the rest of my life. I always wanted to try to make a difference that people would appreciate. As I researched this profession, I discovered that because of physicians and their ability to use medical science, the life expectancy in the United States has more than doubled between 1990-2013
The healthcare fields are not only interesting and diverse, they are extremely important to the well being of humanity. As a child, I always loved to create new things and solve difficult problems; whether I would be playing with Legos or creating small inventions to make life a little easier, it was always a fun hobby of mine. Therefore, in middle school when we started to learn more about, the human body I was fascinated because there was so much I did not know, and there were so many different conditions to be treated. In the healthcare field, that is the sole purpose as you are always looking for new ways to treat and help people. However, there are many ways this can be achieved; not all the workers in the healthcare field get the credit
Planning can be defined as, preparing a series of action steps that lead to a specific goal. A plan is a road map, which allows you track how far you have come and what is left to reach your desired destination. Although planning anything in life can often be difficult due to our inability to control everything that happens to us, possessing a well-thought out plan is essential to effective decision making. When contemplating what I want to accomplish in the next three years, I was surprised to realize that I had already taken the first steps in obtaining my desired goals. I first came back to school for the simple fact that I was tired of dead-end jobs, and I understood that if I wanted a better career I needed to acquire my degree. I didn’t want to waste my time gaining a degree that wasn’t going to be applicable in the real world.
I am a Public Heath major, and I plan on continuing to graduate school after I receive my undergrad. I want to pursue a career in healthcare administration. I think this organization will give me experience in this field. I have an abundance of office experience that I think could be beneficial to this organization. I think all people should be able to receive proper health care, so this organization is something I am super passionate about.
At an early age I was exposed to the healthcare field. My young brother was diagnosed with Autism, Psychosis, and Asperger. My mother was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, diabetes and hyper blood tension. Due to my mom not being educated she cannot read or right in Spanish or English. I was forced to learn everything in the healthcare field. I quickly became intrigued of each specialized field when took I my family to their doctors appointments. A few qualities I looked for when searching for new physician was affordability, patient satisfaction, and a well-organized practice. Not everyone has affordable insurance, or receives the best quality in care due to poor organized facilities. My true passion towards the healthcare
This class has taught me a lot, I was not sure if I was really to be part of the health care system. It always appeared to me as a very stressful and difficult field, but now I am convinced that it is worth the sacrifice. Additionally, knowing that the need for health care professionals continuous growing makes me feel more secure about my future on my health care career; I have decided to pursue a carrier in this field because careers in health care can be great sources of satisfaction (Mitchell and Haroun, 2012). Health care professionals perform valuable services that make significant contribution to the community; I decided to become a physical therapist assistant for the reason that it makes me feel helpful (Mitchell and Haroun, 2012).
Orthopedics is defined as a branch of medicine that deals with the correction of deformities in bones or muscles. This field is intriguing due to the wide spectrum of job opportunities available worldwide. Obtaining such a prestigious degree as a Ph.D. in orthopedics can create endless possibilities for my future. Although, before I can choose a lifelong career, I must examine why I want to pursue a healthcare education and the perks that it may provide.
Everyone has an idea of what career they wish to pursue in and each one of those careers carry’s a philosophy or responsibility of their own. The career the I am pursuing is a career in medicine. I would like to become a doctor and make an impact in the healthcare field. The philosophy that I believe a doctor should follow is “treat others in the way you would like to be treated if you were to end up in the same situation.” This is a good philosophy because it will put the doctor in the mindset of the patient so that he or she will feel the sympathy that the patient wished to receive. If I was a patient I would want the doctor to return me better than I came in. I want the doctor to make sure that it is a priority for him or her to heal me
The healthcare industry is a significant field for a career, regardless of difficult economic troubles and other challenges its face. The demands of healthcare jobs anticipated multiplying than previously due to the aging population life expectancy are predicted longer. This prediction can leave doors open for me to transition careers.
When I was 11 years old, I was at odds with my own survival. I had been a part of the small subset of the population experiencing complications to a routine day surgery. Perhaps I could’ve gone without removing my adenoids, my family could have gone without returning back to Ukraine, and my surgeon could have gone without knicking that artery - but it was unintended consequence of healthcare delivery that many people experience every day. Through the years I have worked in various aspects healthcare from research to retail pharmacy, corrections, and now the inpatient hospital setting. Through all of this, I participated in the delivery of healthcare at a technician level. Having done so, I feel as if I overstayed my welcome.
The walls are closing in. The rooms are filling with more people. The air is stained with illness and loneliness. Elderly persons are occupying the hallways doing nothing, while the nursing staff stay behind desks and counters. Pity and relief flood the faces of many families as they leave their relatives behind. Most people wouldn’t describe a nursing home as an ideal place to be, but I’ve grown fond of it. I spend some of my weekend free time here watching over my grandpa with my mom. When it’s not my turn feeding and talking to him, I focus on homework. Despite the sad vibe of the home, this is the place where I realized I wanted to go into the medical field. After witnessing how the staff barely treat the patients, and how, during the week, my family and I have to take turns coming in to feed my grandpa, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to become a doctor and help save lives.
From an early age, I gained much knowledge about the healthcare field. My younger brother was diagnosed with Autism, Psychosis, and Asperger. My mother was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, diabetes and hyper blood tension. Due to my mom not being educated, she cannot read or write in Spanish or English. I was forced to learn everything in the healthcare field. I quickly became intrigued of each specialized field when I took my family to their doctors appointments. A few qualities I looked for when searching for new physician was affordability, patient satisfaction, and a well-organized practice. Not everyone has affordable insurance, or receives the best quality of care due to poor organized facilities. My true passion towards the healthcare field arose when I started on my career in the financial department. I knew that I wanted to help a group of people and the healthcare facilities to create affordable and quality care. As the next health administrative leader I want to make a difference by offering a well managed healthcare facility, providing effective quality care, and high patient satisfaction to all healthcare facilities. In my current role as a financial counselor, I am exposed to several diverse backgrounds, insurances, and medical procedures. Each day I learn something new and met new patients that hold an interesting story. I have learned that their stories are never the same and it’s important to treat them for who they are and not a number. When
I grew up fascinated with the history of life expectancies and illnesses and demise in cultures. Seeing all the opportunities that the evolution of medicine has brought into our world peaked my interest in the medical field and inspired me to want to take a part in improving our world. This was even further inspired by my frequent visits to the hospital for my family since childhood. My grandmother and uncle died in quick succession, and following those dismal events, my grandfather was diagnosed with diabetes, depression and a heart condition while my mother was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. Thus, throughout my childhood I spent the majority of my time within hospitals waiting for relatives to receive treatment. During these visits, I spent a lot of time observing doctor-patient interactions, noticing the amount of time and effort a single doctor would spend with my family to explain each situation in a way they could understand. These occurrences allowed me to form an image of doctors who are filled with respect for their patients and taught me how important health care was. With each step my mother took throughout her medical journey, I was at her side. Each step we took together enhanced my yearning to see the medical field succeed. For these reasons I have been driven to pursue the goal of becoming a physician.
While attending the University of North Florida for my first semester, I have learned several new things about myself, like empathy, through classes like Honors Colloquium. This class, in particular, has provided me with experiences that will aid me further along in life, like our service projects. Additionally, through the assignments of this course I have come to realize the skills and abilities that are in need improvement in order for me to be successful at the occupation I intend to pursue. My aspiration in life is to earn an honest living by providing health care to those in need of such attention. With this career path, I believe that I will have both an exciting and rewarding occupation. Helping those in need by promoting health and preventing disease is something that I found interesting ever since I was little. For when I was younger, I was in the hospital quite often for countless reasons, and knowing that I was going to be perfectly okay lead my impressionable self to gain the utmost respect for those in the healthcare business and eventually lead me to pursue a career in the field. Ultimately, I feel that this profession will allow for me to contribute to society and in doing so, I remain confident that I will learn a great deal from an occupation in health care. For a great man once said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing” (Theodore
My professional interest in medicine sprang from my family 's roots in medicine. As a child, I used to tag along with my parents, both being dedicated physicians, to a rural health center where they worked tirelessly to manage medical issues of a diverse patient population. Their dedication to patient care ingrained in me a profound sense of social responsibility towards community service and the same passion drove me to choose the noble
