    Personal Narrative: My Journey Into The Health Field

    While learning about the heart in high school anatomy and physiology, I started piecing together how defects in heart valves, like my mother’s mitral valve stenosis, can lead to an embolic stroke. By being able to connect diseases to its pathophysiology component, it furthered my interest and led me to begin exploring a career in the health field.

What truly confirmed my interest in the PA profession was my experience as a Medical Scribe and Medical Assistant. These experiences allowed me to interact closely with PAs, witness first-hand the level of skill and expertise that PAs have and gain a deeper knowledge of the profession and the demands of it.…

    My Pursuit Of Medicine: Personal Report

    My interest for Medicine first developed as a child when I had Grommets put in my ears and my adenoids removed.

    Considering some of the personal goals that I have discussed on my midterm exam, I believe I have made some progress in the "thinking habits" I identified that I "would like to improve.
