Reasons why I would be an asset to the medical school and medical professional

The demand for healthcare services has increased tremendously over the years.

However, the number of medical officers remains low. Despite the effort by the medical

schools to expand their facilities in order to accommodate more students, the gap remains very

large. Therefore, I am looking forward towards ensuring that I serve the society through

providing high quality services. This will play a significant role towards reducing congestion

in the healthcare facilities.

Currently, the number of health problems affecting the society has increased

tremendously. New diseases such as Ebola and various disorders have erupted. Research has

become an important component towards solving these issues. In the medical school, I intend

to conduct an in-depth research which will add more information to an already rich archive.

This is through pinpointing the critical areas that need more research. I intend to achieve this

aspect through joining hands with other students whom we share the same interests and

working as a team. This will ensure that the outcome of the research is insightful and can be

used to solve modern problems.

I am a leader. In high school, I led various groups towards the set objectives. I possess

excellent communication skills. I intend to use these skills to guide my fellow students

towards ensuring that we make a difference in the society. This is through urging them to do

things differently and conduct their research with the aim of helping the society rather than
 2

just qualifying to join the medical professional. Through this initiative, we will be able to

achieve better results as a team rather than individually.

The medical school has an obligation to participate towards improving the lives of the

people in the society. Since I was young, I have always been yearning to participate in helping

the less fortunate. As a result, I will achieve this through using my free time to offer services

to the needy people. I will convince my friends in the institution to support me in this noble

idea so that we can impact positively on the lives of other people.

In medical school, I intend to pursue side work through educating students and serving

as a crucial resource to the public. I have passion for teaching. One of the most rewarding

experiences has been tutoring high school students specifically in Math, Physics, and Biology.

Therefore, I will spend some time tutoring the students especially during the holidays. This

will play a significant role in improving the reputation of the institution in the society.

With the increasing levels of integration in the society, there is a need for diversity

among the subordinates working in the medical sector. In the meantime, people visiting the

health facilities emanates from different regions, cultures, religions, and genders. I come from

a different culture with that of the local population. As a result, my entry in the medical

professional will improve the level of diversity. This is because I will teach the rest of my

team mates how to do things differently in order to satisfy the interests of all clients. This will

be significant in solving diverse problems that are affecting the sector.

1) key buzz words - empathic, team member, well-rounded, social, self-directed learner, maturity

2) what is unique to you? how can that/those experience(s) apply to the school that you are applying to? In

medicine in general?

3) Any ties to the region/school, if any, can always help.

Remember a few things when writing:

1) a number (potentially hundreds) of applicants will be handing these statements in also; there are only a

few reviewers and they get tired very quickly and get very agitated when reading fodder. Just like a

newpaper article, you may want to hit them hard with a good eye-catching opening paragraph. Maybe even

change the narrative to jolt the reader?

2) as with above, short but sweet is much better than rambling on

3) most NA applicants keep forgetting this last one - you are there for the entire EXPERIENCE and not just

for the medicine - there are many who have come and gone that came for the latter and hated every minute

of it, conversely, those who came for the entire Irish/European experience had the time of their life. They

both graduated with the same degree, but who do you think got the better deal? Maybe you can work that

in as why going to that medical school and country is worth it?
