personal statement for medical school application. I am a low-income student. I have had experience as a stem cell researcher, phlebotomist, and a clinical research coordinator. I have experience with patient care and aims to care for patients who are in underserved neighborhoods. In clinical research, I worked in providing genetic testing for people to understand correlations in health and socioeconomic status. The results also helped patients in underserved neighborhoods understand their health and figure out ways to prevent health issues that they are genetically predispositioned to. I care about my patients a lot and I will always do my best to be their voice. I’m having issues about what topic to focus on. ive written about patients’ fear of medical debt and how it would give me anxiety as a kid to go to the doctor’s because my parents could not afford it. I have written about having my grnadpa pass away in my country India from cancer due to not having accessible healthcare and not being able to make it to a hospital on time. I have written about standing up for my non-English speaking patients when they get care because I can relate when having to watch my own parents struggle to speak English. Numerous topics but I can’t stick to one and I need help writing a personal statement that flows well and is very convincing that I want to be in medicine. I am not limiting the personal statement to these topics. Any topic or theme can be chosen for me. I have a ton of patient stories and personal experiences if needed.
