FinalistBio
To become a compassionate physician who strives to provide healthcare to people who cannot afford the high cost associated with seeing a doctor. I want to use my medical expertise to serve citizens in low-income communities and areas that generally lack medical practitioners. Becoming a physician extends far beyond medical school, and it almost certainly does not end with graduation. I believe my desire for learning and communicating my knowledge is one of the most notable qualities that I possess. I know that medicine will continuously allow me to strive for knowledge and teamwork in a profession that energizes me and in a subject that I truly enjoy.
As a doctor, I would help patients and their relatives understand a disease. Not only that, I would work as a researcher "behind the scenes" to help develop a cure or a treatment for diseases. I plan to straddle the gap between clinical medicine and academic research. Being a medical researcher would allow me not only to pursue my intellectual interests, but also allow me to help the world in a very direct and fulfilling way.
In closing, my aspiration to be a physician and is not only to learn, but also to help the field of medicine by advancing better health care for everyone. As an individual who has witnessed differences in the standard of health-care available to people, I hope to have a global impact in underserved communities where primary health care is severely needed. The goal is to ensure that health care becomes a fundamental human right for every person and as such deserves more attention and due diligence.
