PERSONAL STATEMENT

for a

RESIDENCY PROGRAM

A lifetime occupation has always been among the main human priorities standing in the line with family , friends and hobbies . Medicine is an art that allows continuous studying and improvement of knowledge and skills . I decided medicine was my destiny when I was still very young But only having gained real-life experience , while studying in the medical school , I was able to realise that it is a boundless source of knowledge and wisdom . It requires much more than any occupation in the world : patience

, knowledge , determination , qualification , strength and compassion at the same time . The latter is just as important as the rest , sometimes even more , because patients often entrust us their health and life . They depend on us , and it is out duty to combine integrity , science and humanism in order to help them to recover

I first found out medical practice requires compassion at the very beginning of my medical career . I was on call when one of the patients had a terrible asthmatic attack . I took the case very seriously and did my best to eliminate the problem . It was not predetermined to stay with the patient and take care of him , but we were short of qualified employees , and I realised that if I didn 't take care of this patient , he might have further serious health problems . So I stayed up all night and didn 't leave him until I was sure he would get over the crisis . I still believe I did the right thing , because it is impossible to help people and cure them properly without compassion and responsibility

I believe that knowledge is another essential determinant of a true professional . While studying in the medical school , I enjoyed learning medical theory and gaining practical experience . My accomplishments in the medical school can confirm my determination to become a professional medical doctor . This is one of the reasons why I decided to apply for the residency program in internal medicine in the United States Considering the strong healthcare system , accumulated knowledge and experience , numerous opportunities for in-depth research , and advanced technology in America , this is where I see my dream coming true . I hope that I have enough determination , resilience and experience to succeed in the field of internal medicine . I also want to become an integral part of a highly professional and well-qualified medical team . I would like to dedicate my time and power to learning and patient care , and strongly I believe that the residency program for internal medicine can offer me a unique and broad experience in the field
