Admission Essay

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that in contrast to many fellow students, the author entered college with no intention of ever pursuing a medical career because her true aspirations were based more in the humanities, such as literature and art. The author states that, as time progressed, she became increasingly interested in medicine. The paper affirms that the practice of medicine involves not only scientific principles but also a real understanding of the human condition; the author has sought to place most of her interest in science within a broad humanistic perspective.

From the Paper:

"However, not all of this dedication alone is sufficient to becoming a physician or some other type of medical professional, for I realize that special skills and knowledge are necessary in order to achieve my professional goals. During my years in college, I concentrated on obtaining a well-rounded, liberal education, for I believe that one must first become a well-rounded human being before one becomes a competent worker in any field of endeavor. True knowledge is based on the ability to think creatively and analytically, the power of observation and problem solving and the infinite curiosity to discover the unknown. Thus, I wish to become the type of doctor who will expand the horizons of current medical knowledge, due to the never-ending and at times mysterious circumstances of new and more contagious diseases worldwide. I firmly believe that dedication and knowledge are indispensable elements in the making of a warm and caring physician, and in order to become a complete doctor, one must be able to have compassion for all humankind."
