Medical field is very broad field providing a lot of opportunities for those who wants to become a doctors and physicians. Therefore, pre-medical students have a big range to choose what to pursue as physician. Becoming a physician needs to have a good plan to go through medical school processes.
As an undergraduate, I plan to take part in researching the effect of drugs on the human metabolism. It has been a difficult decision for me to choose the best suited field of study as an undergraduate to prepare for medical school. Studying the chemistry field will give me the opportunity to study the process of drug synthesis and become knowledgeable about treatment of bacterial infections and disease prevention. This field will assist me in preparation for my career. I was 18 years old when I came with my family to live in America. And after two months upon arrival, I entered high school as a senior, it was challenging for me to study the same curriculum that other students who are native English speakers were studying. I did not speak English, and struggled with believing in myself. After a few months, I improved at the English language. I recall my economics teacher giving a certificate of merit in front of the students, saying, "America is lucky to have a fine young man like you! I know your hard work will pay off and you will accomplish much in your lifetime." This struggle and achievement have given me great confidence in myself, enough confidence to achieve my goal of becoming a physician. I have volunteered at the UC Davis Medical Center in the cardiology department since the summer of 2014. I worked under the head nurse, helping the patients in their need and performing general office duties. I also worked at In Home Support Service (IHSS), ministering patient medication and assisting them with other daily duties, such as feeding, walking and transporting. Hence, my choice in Dr. Mohamed Ali; one of the top physicians at UC Davis medical center department of Gastroenterology. However, doing this analysis of my upper division writing class of summer 2016 gave me the opportunity to find three different professionals from different fields and check about them from different websites and social media to create an appealing and effective email in order to get the opportunity to be involve with them in research, internship or volunteering. Also, to learn more about what it takes to achieve my goals. Having the opportunity to conduct a research in health science will give me the potential to use my knowledge in science and apply it in labs. This is the reason why I chose Dr. Neil E. Schore and Dr. Daisuke Sato. Research and method: Each source provided me a very useful information about the three professionals. I mostly used UC Davis website as long all the professionals are related to UC Davis; I found their emails, publications, researches, participations in different organizations and on what they doing as …show more content…
I was searching for a research opportunity to conduct a research in health science, so having Dr. Neil E. Schore for my first organic chemistry at UC Davis narrowed the search because I am familiar with his website at the UC Davis faculty, and I have read about his research on polymer types and the reuse of organometallic reagents and catalysts since I was one of his students. All the information I needed was provided on his page on UC Davis website, but I could not find anything about him on …show more content…
• In which cases we can apply the concept of reusing the organometallic regents in the reactions?
• How the reuse of organometallic would change the purity of the product?
Dr. Daisuke Sato offers a research opportunities and projects related to medical field such as, mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias, nonlinear dynamics and drug development. He is specialist in pharmacology. He has a lot of publications on health science specially on theoretical and computational cardiology. My goal is to become a physician or involve in research related to my field of study, which is pharmaceutical chemistry. Conducting a research on drug development with Dr. Daisuke Sato will give me the opportunity to practice what I am studying now. So, this information created many questions in my mind such as:
• Do you think finishing 1 year of physics, math, chemistry and one semester of general biology would allow me to conduct a research in heath science?
• Based on that knowledge, what type of research I can
