why medicine
One of the things that draws me to medicine
1)SERVICE
in my brief time something that ive noticed that i want to do is SERVE MY COMMUNITY, i think its humbling/GRATIFYING to serve people in need(which i can do in medicine), i’ve experienced this sort of thing from (nursing home)
Rural(experience in rural community)
3)intrigued by culture(scope and dynamics)
multi-discplianiary
always enjoyed working within a collaborative team
how they manage and navigate scenarios(experience as child with elli)
navigate both emotionally and clinically
having experienced this:
a postion where i can strive to become: fufill
doctor take leading role
be apart of this process and want to help those families in similar situations to which our family found themselves in
why would you be a good doctor?(+ good qualities)
I believe that I would truly be a good doctor due to a range of qualities which I can specifically narrow down to 3 one being:
1)passionate
passionate for the medical field+ science
+ enthusiastic and strong desire to advance in career and produce their best work
2)empathy
have seen how many doctors in own experience work to empathise with patients nurturing a comfortable environment and understanding atmosphere within tough situations( experienced empathy with teammates in training+ with injuries)
3)communicator(honesty)
honest clear communication b/c doctors work in teams( experience
4)mentor
key qualities of doctors to mentor and direct younger/junior doctors, working in a domino effect where junior doctors assist those still in uni, which I truly enjoy ( rewarding experience) as seen within my schooling life, helping younger year levels re. education and guidance
resilient
why Monash?
Monash provides a stelllar destination for myself wishing to study medicine due to factors such as
1)uniqueness of the course
HEP program(health enhancement program)
as I researched into the course:
- functions as a mindfulness session to cope with guaranteed stress to come from working as doctor
-establish healthy strategies for future to cope under this
2)Affiliations of Monash and Monash health
“One of the things that draws me to Monash Uni is the variety of clinical schools, all over melbourne, and i think it is important to get an understanding of both metropolitan and rural medicine - namely The Alfred in melbourne city, out east in peninsula, but equally the experience in rural bendigo or mildura ”
3)Uni Life/Culture (MUMUS(medical society)/orchestra/sporting etc) - suturing nights? Monash orchestra? Model UN? More depth
the prestine football pitches + the vibe/culture there
the basketball facilities
The vibrant culture of Monash University Medical Society is so enticing
