Aed Meeting Reflection

I also attended 2 hours KCDC meeting on behalf of my supervisor. He couldn’t attend the meeting, so he asked me to attend it. Attending the meeting made me learn more about the programs that KCDC provide and project that they are working such as treatment group class, planning new group, partnerships with other agencies, research, and many more. Moreover, we also divided into three group to have short and small group workshop. I joined domestic violence that led by PawWah. The workshop was more like discussion and we all gave our ideas and perspectives to create domestic violence video for the Karen community and we came up with the best message that we would like to share with the audiences/public. After the workshop each group had to report

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences offers me a variety of opportunities and programs that I am unable to find anywhere else. First, the Early Selection Program allows me to have flexibility in my journey as a medical professional. Each student’s schedule in the program is tailored to a specific specialty and applicable track. In the program, I would get to explore not only the foundational medical courses, but also the courses that incorporate both clinical practice and community interaction early on. I would get to learn hands-on through the collaboration of my peers and work in an environment that looks at health through a cultural and evolving lens. From here, I will be able to get a solid impression of the care, communication, and approaches I want to implement as a future health care provider.

I participated in in the Tucker Foundation’s Alternative Spring Breaking in the Dominican Republic. To prepare for the ASB trip, I attended a weekly training course to learn about Dominican Culture, the political and social climate of the region, as well as team building exercises. As a result of the formal team building training, I gained valuable skills and experience in working with small groups.

Georgetown continues to foster the tradition of broad-based knowledge combined with practicality to be a successful and contributing member of society. At Georgetown, I will be able to pursue many of my passions, primarily biological sciences and political science. Ever since elementary school, my goal has been to become a physician, not only because of my interest in human anatomy but also because of my desire to help others. I selectively picked Georgetown because it does not have “pre-med” as a major. The Early Assurance Program within Georgetown College intrigues me as it provides ambitious pre-med students with an opportunity to receive assurance of their admission to Georgetown’s School of Medicine by the end of their sophomore year.

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) at UC Berkeley is a chapter composed of pre-med students. The mission of the UC Berkeley AMSA Chapter is to foster the next generation of passionate, dedicated, and altruistic Healthcare Professionals. The chapter provides pre-med students with a community where students can partake in a variety of different activities, including committees and task forces. While the chapter is viewed as a professional organization it also focuses on breaking the stigma attached around pre-med students. The chapter also caters to a diverse group of students, ranging from age, gender, race, and religious affiliation. The AMSA chapter continues to educate its members on a prolific amount of issues present in modern

As you will see I received a 493 on my MCAT exam, this was a low score which did not reflect my efforts to prepare for the exam.However, this number does not exemplify my potential as a student and a future phsyician. Although numbers can predict trends, none of these number my MCAT nor GPA show the individual I am and the type of physician I will become. While I may not be able to retake my MCAT now, I can assure you that I will be a phsyician with a patient-centered care focus primarlity in underserved populations. I ask that you look beyond my score and to me as an applicant. I am confident that with my background, experiences and education at Howard Univeristy College of Medicine, if I am granted the opportunity, I will become a competent,

As I approached my senior year of high school, I was lucky enough to be accepted in the Teen Volunteer program at Upstate Medical University. During this four week long program, I was able to shadow medical professionals and broaden my understanding of the medical field. I was given the unique ability to experience the field that I want to go into before entering secondary education. Before this opportunity, I had always known that I wanted to help people in my future career; however, volunteering at this hospital solidified my desire to make a difference in the world through my future in medicine.

Tuesday November 21st, 2012 was a clear cold day, as I was walking into the judicial complex of Crawford County. I did not have to go to the judicial complex, but it was my choice. It was my choice to go that very day and speak on my behalf of 4H. I was feeling as if the county was taking 4H away. A door was opened for me to have the new opportunity of Public Speaking.

According to new policies if a student does not use certain accommodations in general ed. then they can't use them during Terra Nova, thus the reason why a modification meeting was scheduled. At the same time the student received four F's on his report card so I presented him to CSC to discuss his current area of disability( CI). The very next day a meeting was scheduled by Kleckly for an assessment planning meeting with his parent and the parent was a no show. I did not schedule the AR for today, Ms. Gray, Jaquarious' mother called and scheduled the meeting for Thursday 3/17 or Friday 3/18 stating that was the only time she could attend. I am well aware of the district's expectation on drafting an IEP three days in advance and DRAFT goals

My decision to apply to PSUCOM was markedly influenced by the direct student involvement with the central Pennsylvania community. The fact that PSUCOM has a strong community engagement dovetails perfectly with my interest to work with medically underserved and economically disadvantaged community. Another unique quality that I admire about PSUCOM is its supportive and nurturing environment that allows students to make connections, learn, and grow as a future physician. As a result, making connections with other students will allow me to understand and embrace the cultural diversity of others. Overall, I strongly feel that this medical program has the most to offer in terms of academic excellence, diversity, innovation, community-focus, and

The Honors College at Lone Star presents itself as an immense opportunity for me to truly exhibit the potential which I strive to exude. It provides not only convenience to my family and I, but reassurance that I can receive an honorary level of education just a few miles from home. As I traverse through high school, I always hold a subconscious idea of the future I wish to lead and the effort which it demands, but I never became discouraged by the years of education which I must accomplish. In fact, this factor only accelerates my ambition to excel in what several appear to be abandoning as of late: medicine.

David sought to volunteer and/or job shadow at several medical facilities and was told by the HR departments that because of HIPAA laws and insurance regulations he had to be 18 years old. David thought if he had a name behind him to give him credibility in the medical world he could break down those barriers the HR departments had set before him as a teenager. Using skills from his 4-H background he formulated a plan and executed it. He started a 4-H Club, which is a 4-H club that has a specific interest, David chose medical careers. To get the program off the ground, David used his networking skills to enlist the help of the medical school at Southern Illinois University, where he is a student in the Physician Pipeline Preparatory Program (P4). Because of David’s position in the P4, he has been able to secure many speakers and offer up engaging hands-on medical experiences for the 4-H Club members. The club moved beyond David’s wildest dreams when he was interviewed for a newspaper article and a Physician Assistant read the article. The PA who was intrigued by the idea of teens getting a taste of medicine before spending a lot of money on education and realizing that medicine was not for them decided to give the group a try. Through that article 4-H members are now experiencing the practice of medicine first hand

It was a bittersweet moment because as a life was lost, I discovered how I wanted to live mine. Had I not taken advantage of the opportunity to attend this program or told a little white lie, I might still be wondering what I wanted to be when I grew up. Unfortunately, a life was lost for me to discover this about myself. I will never forget this patient and the experience I shared with him that changed my life. By taking advantage of this opportunity that AHEC presented me with, I was able to gain experience, knowledge, and confirmation about my future in the field of medicine. This summer program changed my life, and I hope that the Perry Outreach Program can do the same. I believe that the Perry Outreach Program is another opportunity for me to broaden my knowledge about medicine, gain experience in the medical atmosphere, and further increase my desire to become a physician. As a senior in high school, I have a long journey ahead of me before I will be able to practice medicine. However, with the Perry Outreach Program, I will be able to catch a glimpse of my future in the field of

Ultimately, USC’s broad curriculum in the MHA program combined with their focus of giving their students real-life exposure to health care organizations; will help me be better prepared to take on the public policy issues facing our health care sector today. The breadth of knowledge that I can gain from the MHA program will also help me become a health administrator that is able to balance the demands of the medical establishment (e.g., community clinic, hospital) and the needs of the population it caters to. From my education focusing on the relationships between people and institutions, work experience with special populations, and volunteerism, I have come to the realization that the issues facing our health sector don’t just fall upon physicians,

My past experiences in Asian Pacific Health Corps serving those in the San Gabriel Valley and Kids Come First Community Health Center serving those in the Inland Empire have inspired me to become a physician who is dedicated in making a difference amongst medically underserved populations. These experiences have exposed me to the unique health issues those in Southern California are facing and introduced me to the diverse population I want to ultimately serve. I am excited at the potential to further develop this passion at a medical school committed to service, as I have seen medical students from WesternU-COMP volunteering their time to perform osteopathic manipulative treatments at APHC’s health fairs. I look forward to volunteering as a student leader in organizations at WesternU-COMP, such as Pomona Homeless Outreach Program, and encouraging my classmates to get involved with community service projects to extend their learning beyond the classroom. WesternU-COMP’s innovative curriculum, early clinical experiences, supportive environment, and state-of-the-art facilities will prepare me to be a well-rounded leader in the ever-evolving field of medicine. With a reputation of graduating students matching into their residencies of choice, I can be assured that WesternU-COMP will help me to reach my career
