¶ … career in medicine, I almost feel compelled to state that for myself, it is past considering a career in medicine, rather, I already have had several 'lives' in the medical field, although not one coherent career. My preparation has not only been academic. It has also been personal and work-related as well. Most of my existence, in addition my schooling, has been wrapped up emotionally and practically in the pursuit and practice of the field of medicine. I have a passion not only for the more arcane aspects of organic chemistry and biology, but also for the daily interactions of a primary medical care that comes from working with actual patients. In my experiences at the Atlantic Medical Center in Chicago, I worked in an administrative capacity as well as conducting blood tests, blood pressure exams, EKGs, and also measured the height, weight and temperature of patients. I did this not only because it was an occupation I was qualified for the medical field and could supplement my academic fields of premedical study. I also wished to experience what life was like in various capacities for an individual working in a large treatment center. I grew in appreciation not only of the impact various administrative snafus can have on the life of a patient. I...

I have a strong desire to contribute to the field of medical law, perhaps in malpractice, to ensure that physicians are held accountable. This is important to me, and I know that by the time I am admitted to the bar I may pursue a different path, but the important thing for me right now is that law gives me a tremendous sense of purpose. I have proven myself in
As I have already pointed out elsewhere in this text, while growing up, I had the opportunity of interacting with various health professionals, amongst them nurses. From these interactions, I became aware that the profession does have its challenges. I am hence under no illusion whatsoever that nursing calls for sacrifice. I am ready to sacrifice so as to enhance the well-being of those who need my care the
Personal Statement Application for the Nurse Practitioner Program at UCSF I first experienced the duties of a nurse practitioner in WHATEVER, a small mountain village in Nepal. From 1996-1998, I worked as a Community Health Volunteer with the American Peace Corps.

My first interest is to work at a battering intervention and prevention program through a battered women's shelter. This position would allow me to educate the public, by discussing battering in various situations and helping reach target populations where battering is not discussed or is considered normative.
