Med- Peds Personal Statement

My experiences in life have been similar to that of a chisel, cutting my life statue, and molding, modifying, and shaping it. As a native from Bangladesh, a developing country, through practicing in the US, I have widened my scope of knowledge and understanding. This is in essence of the different perspectives which are cultural, emotional, and spiritual. In turn, there will be continuums for better healthcare administration. The professional journey undertaken in medical practice is extremely a lifelong. I seek to ensure that there is improvement in all aspects of functionality. The latter awareness has influenced and motivated my application for residency in your prestigious residency program, known all over the world.

My journey started a few years ago, upon entering medical school, which has had a great impact in my life. I was not decided about the areas of specialty, and consequently rotated through many areas without any focus. I found my rotations in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics to be specially rewarding as it ignited some kind of passion in me. I was extremely comfortable in the newborn nursery, in the nursing home, inpatient ward settings, intensive care units, emergency departments and most importantly, the ambulatory clinic as well as office. I met patients with a wide variety of cases, such as adults with congenital heart disease. Other patients were those with type 2 diabetes, which affects the American population greatly. I realized that through integrating Internal Medicine with Pediatrics, the outcome is the rigidity to care for multiple generations of patients. Concurrently, this occurs within the context of the family in multiple settings. The transition of care for patients with chronic illnesses from pediatrics to internal medicine is very unique. Also, it is challenging to this combined specialty, that I wish to pursue at a professional level.

Graduating from medical school is a moment, which will forever be cherished. I possess all the needed and required traits to help me in this great career. The rounded approach in healthcare was reinforced during my internship and also at a tertiary care hospital. The latter was possible because I interacted with a wide array of patients, educating them on topics from childhood asthma, to congestive cardiac failure as well as metastatic lung carcinoma. In addition, I have served in many primary health care centers for a generous amount of time in undertakings anchored in rural communities. This ensured that I became competent through the extensive clinical experience. These experiences have not only widened the repertoire of understanding of health care administration at community level, but also provided great opportunities for growth in terms of interpersonal skills, teamwork, and leadership attributes.

Despite leaving behind a well-founded career, family, friends and everything else, I appreciate and value, I have no doubt this was the correct path to my professional realization. My determination is responsible for all the undertakings incurred in my life. Upon arrival in the United States, I effortlessly worked with physicians in Internal Medicine at the Pediatrics at Los Angeles County Medical Center and White Memorial Medical Center. Here I became familiarized with the integration, which is multidisciplinary, in medical centers that facilitate departmental communication. This is an integral part of Internal Medicine-Pediatrics specialty whereby, specialty is combined. In addition, I have volunteer experience in nursing programs for elementary schools, and thus, had the opportunity of interacting with the students. The result is that my understanding regarding child health maintenance and prevention has increased. In case of an emergency situation, it will easily be handled. Dealing with behavioral issues has increased my real-world experiences in various diverse set-ups, and experiences within multidisciplinary team situations. The MSC in Global Medicine at University of Southern California, which I am undertaking, has further influenced my knowledge on world health issues and innovative medicine. Moreover, serving as a Research Associate at the university, ensures my financial obligations are met. Most importantly, I am able to retain currency about growth, research, and innovation in the practice of medicine.

The road to becoming a physician has been long and demanding, but my great zeal for success and determination as well as to excel, has made me progress further. I hereby seek residency at your prestigious program. The rigorous curriculum, research emphasis on topics that are evidence based, faculty support and diverse residents’ fraternity makes your program ideal for my professional objectives attainment. Personally, residency program quality is vital as compared to convenience. The prospects for didactic learning, practice experience, and opportunity to serve diverse patient population make me extremely excited. This program suits me well.

After the program is over and I have graduated, I hope to acquire a fellowship in subspecialty or in a primary care setting, which is live in. Through clinical research and teaching, I hope to contribute to academic medicine. My growing conceptions concerning repertoire of spiritual, emotional, and cultural applications in the continuums of better health care administration are known. The community will be served better in the latter field of specialization. My dream will be achieved through gaining admission to this program. I kindly ask that my application is considered. Thank you in advance.
