Personal Statement For Radiologic Technician

Jasmine Eubanks Biomedical/ Clinical Technician I picked this career choice because I would get to work with machines, and teach people about the machines. At my job I work with many different machines and teach people about the machines. These machines are designed to help me diagnoses treatment, and also monitor patients. Many of my responsibilities are me being responsible for data obtained from professional in relationship, teaching other medical people who might come in contact with the machines, and most importantly knowing what I’m doing at all times. Students wanting to learn about this can volunteer at local hospitals that have these machines, to watch and observe how and

I’m currently a student at San Joaquin Valley College, working towards becoming a certified medical assistant in which I have proficiency in typing skills and accomplished CPR and HIPAA certification. My passion is the medical field where I can assist the needs and services of others while being able to connect and create a comfortable environment for patients. On an interpersonal level, I excel as a conversationalist to personalize each interaction I encounter. With previous volunteer work for organizations, I’ve come to realize I strive in wanting to make a positive difference in people’s lives and hope to one day be able to do it on a daily basis. Making a difference in people’s lives at times can take the littlest effort and in doing so

3 Learning goals: These are the goals I have set as a Radiologic Technologist and my future goal of becoming a Physician Assistant in providing quality patient care to all people regardless of race, gender, sex, creed, religion, or socio-economic status. • Awareness about cultural bias, stereotype, and generalization, and how they contribute to health disparity • Increase understanding of the relationship between culture, language and health and how it affects patient care. • Improve communication with patients: Be careful in interpreting facial expressions, they may lead you to misinterpret the patient’s feelings or to over- or underestimate the patient’s level of pain.

You can be a MRI Technologist in just a couple years. You can just have an associate’s degree and still be a MRI Technologist. Also you can go up through to a bachelors degree. Colleges/University There is many places to go such as Kaplan University’s and Florida’s Hospital College of Health Sciences.

In third grade, I was assigned to create a project illustrating what I wanted to be when I grew up. At this time, due to my positive experiences with doctors and my desire to help others, especially children, I decided to describe the role of a pediatrician as my future career. Throughout my childhood, whenever asked about my future aspirations, I confidently declared that I would attend medical school and become a pediatrician. However, as I developed, the answer to this question slowly began to evolve as I gained a deeper understanding of my values and the people I desired to serve through medicine.

Despite my young age of just 15, I had the opportunity to respond to any emergency and code in the hospital. I fell in love not only with the adrenaline rush but with the fact that I, a teenager, was experiencing in real life the events that I watched in medical-themed TV shows and movies. Because of my growing interest in the medical field, my mentor provided me with opportunities to observe the work of doctors and other medical professionals in almost every area of the hospital. Luckily, each experience in one area of the hospital lead to even greater opportunities in other areas, some of which few doctors receive. I observed several surgeries- including a gall bladder removal, an exploratory belly, and an open heart surgery-, small procedures in the Cath Lab, and the daily duties in the Radiology, Emergency, Nursing, Intensive Care, Physical Therapy, Pre-Operation, and Post- Operation Units.

Furthermore, I believe I owe it to future patients, employers and fellow professionals to have the largest knowledge base and most readily accessible skills possible and to utilize the unique experiences I have been granted. I have managed, throughout busy class schedules and often full-time work, to be volunteering on a long mission to Peru to work with children, mentor as a Middle School Youth minister, a Spanish and ASL medical translator in clinics 300% below the poverty line, and a Patient Care Technician in the Emergency Room and eventually the NICU per invitation from the Senior Staff of the Women and Children's Center. I have enjoyed the vitality of these diverse settings as well as growing in empathy while working with people from very unique backgrounds and family needs. I also volunteer as an on-call counselor for a crisis family support center as a primary advisor for two single mothers who require translation services. Attending Samford University, I was selected from Freshman year forward

Early on in medical school, I began inquiring about available interest groups and reaching out to physicians to complete case reports with and shadow on my free days. Being the vice president and now the current president of the Seldinger Society at the University of South Dakota has allowed me to grow in a leadership position while furthering my passion for radiology. These experiences showed me that I enjoy mentoring in the field, learning and teaching radiology-related material, and the day-to-day tasks of a radiologist. With technology continuously advancing and the continuous increased usage of imaging, radiology provides endless opportunities for lifelong learning and evidence-based practice to benefit patients. At the annual ASSR meeting where I presented a poster presentation, I had the opportunity to meet residents and attendings in the field from across the country.

Radiomics lies at the juncture of what I believe to be extremely exciting science in the coming future of personalized medicine. This is what prompted me to approach Dr. Rivka Colen (desired mentor), of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, to conduct research in her lab. An interplay between research and clinical treatment such as the way Dr. Colen implements will be one of the grounds that I intend to structure my own practice around. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would help me achieve the first steps towards conducting research in my career as a physician-scientist.

I took all the sciences I could, eventually majoring in Biochemistry in college to understand the workings of the body. I always thought I wanted to be a pathologist. I was aware of pathology assistants but was unaware of what their job entailed. In my junior year of undergrad, I was fortunate enough to find out that my college worked with a teaching hospital, Montefiore Medical Center. Through them, I was able to obtain an internship in the Surgical

The two areas I am the most interested in are medical-surgical nursing and emergency

The prerequisites for this DPT program that I completed during undergrad have given me the foundation to begin my doctoral program. I also worked as a technician in between my undergraduate education and starting my graduate program. I worked in a general orthopedic clinic where we saw a variety of patients. We saw geriatric, pelvic floor, and athletes on a daily basis. Working as a technician allowed me to develop numerous skills in patient communication as well as learn some physical therapy techniques and palpation skills.

I am preparing for a career as a Medical Sonographer. In order to reach this goal, I have several steps that I have to complete to get there. In the below paragraphs I will discuss these steps. Along with how I think technological advances will affect my career and educational goals in both the near and distant future. The first step in my goal to becoming a Medical Sonographer, is completing an Associate’s Degree.

I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it.

With the populations growing and the ages of people increase medical imaging and the diagnosis of diseases seems to be in a higher demand. There is nothing but a positive outlook for a Radiologic tech. There is more to being a Radiologic technician that we never thought about. When we visit the health care office for one of these exams we might not have ever thought about the schooling and experience they have had to go threw to be helping you with what they are helping you with today. We might not have even know who the people are called that give you your x-ray exam , MRI, or your CT scan, but now you do and have background knowledge on who
