My Goals As a Professional in Both The Country I Intend To Practice and the Developing Countries

I am very passionate about medicine partly because I grew up in a similar environment for twenty one years. My mother and grandfather practice Medicine back at home. Owing   to   the   principle of   nature   that   we   are   what we repeatedly do, I   got   into   the   habit   of   always working with and helping the   sick at a tender age.But   to exalt   my   family for the passion without   acknowledging   the   experiences   that   have   shaped   me   would be like noticing the beauty of the rain   but failing to realize that it has   enriched the soil. I remember vividly some time back the friendship and laughter I shared with one Francisca-a 14 year old girl in a high school with children suffering from cerebral palsy, but today as I speak, she is no more.I   also   remember   the   good   old   days   when   my   grandfather-one   that   I   love   so   much, was   healthy, energetic, and    full   of   life, but   today   as   days   go   by, he   gradually   becomes   weak, exhausted   and   uncertain   of   what   life   has   in   store   for   him. He   suffers   from   COPD; a   disease   that   takes   your life   over time. It   weakens   the   functioning   of   your   lungs   with   years   until   one   resort s   to   using   different  Ã‚   oxygen   masks   to   breath   through.These   few   but   life   changing   experiences   fueled   my   drive   to   help   people   in   similar   or   even   worse   situations. My   purpose   of   seeking   for   this   sponsorship   therefore   is   to   enable   me   attain   the   academic requirements   and   skills   that   cut   across   the   board.It   is   also   on   the  Ã‚   basis of   the   fact   that   United   States   is   far   ahead   with   technological   advancement, a   good market   place   for   doctors   and   hospitals   which   constitute   a   good   market   base   for   enrichment   of   knowledge   and   skill.Besides   this, I intend   to   practice   in   United   States   with   the   view   of   contributing   to   the   social   and   economic   development   by   helping   the   needy   access   medical care   easily   and   disseminate   information.As   established   by   various   researches, America   is   rated   as   one   of   the   poor   providers   of   medical   care   as   compared   to   other   developed   states. This   is   because   health   care   in   the   States   is   governed   by   the   free   market   mechanism   where   the   self   interests of individuals   h ealth wise is directed   by   supply   and   demand   principle. This   in   my   view   depicts   that   the   health care   system in the United States to be more   of   a private   affair   where   the   government   plays   a   minimal   role   through   government   assistance   programs.This in  Ã‚   my view is not sufficient. As   a result, millions   of   Americans   are   missing   out   on   good   health   care   thus   lowering   their   life   expectancy, standard of living, leverage   and so on. It   is   noteworthy that   health care is   one   of   the   fundamental   rights   envisioned   in   the  Ã‚   Universal   Declaration   on   Human   Rights   and   the   American   Constitution- â€Å"every   one   is   entitled   to   equal   opportunity† (Dolores la Guardia and Guth, P. H. (2000)., thus the issue should   take    prominence   in   government's   budgetary   allocation.In   view   of   this   therefore, my   purpose and goal therefore while practicing in America   would   be   to   assist   in   bridging   the   disparity   by   offering   free   consultative   services   and   dissemination   of   information   regarding   good   health   care   practices   in   schools, hospitals   and   organizations   to   enhance   the   living   standards   as   well   as reduction   of   costs   with   regard   to   medical   expenses.I   am   certain   that   with   the   exposure   in   St   George’s medical school would   give   me   a   wide   range   of   experience   that   cuts   across   the   board   if   given   a   chance.In   agreement   with the   foregoing, I   will strive   to   work   in   close   connection   with   developing   countries   to   help   eradicate   epidemiological   diseases   through   facilitating   contacts   to   ensure   that   sharing   of   information, skills   and   experience   is   possible. While   dealing   with   the   above consideration   will   be   made   on   social ,political, economic   and   technical   situation   of   the   developing   countries.The   purpose   of   my   undertaking   would   be   with   the   aim   of   phasing   out   the   deployment   of   expatriates   and   replacing   it   with   partnership   model   so   as   reduce   medical   costs.I feel strongly that by focusing on the above issues, I will be making my contribution to humanity and giving back to the society. I therefore request that you consider my application for a sponsorship as this will go a long way in assisting me to realize my profess ional objectives of making the world a better place.References:Dolores la Guardia and Guth, P.
