What Impression Do You Get On Reading This ?


This is the last part of a write-up I am supposed to give for getting a job. I have tried to make it as entertaining as possible. What do you think (on reading it casually) ? Would you hire me ? Can it be improved ?
In March 2011, I reached the US for clinical experience. I was amazed at the rapidity with which the findings of the latest research are incorporated into routine patient care. Even more amazing is the fact that every patient regardless of economic or social status receives the same very high level of care. My observerships at the Georgetown University Hospital, Uversity of Iowa and The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research institute not only improved me as a physician, They also introduced me to different varieties of hospitals within the United States which would help me better understand my niche while doing residency.
My long term plan after residency is to complete fellowship training in vascular neurology and be a professor and indulge in research/teaching. However, my first and foremost priority in the next few years is to make myself a reliable, proficient and professional physician during residency.
A neurologist in the modern age faces a number of challenges. First, the amount of information is increasing every day. A physician must enjoy the process of updating himself and should incorporate newly acquired ideas into his practice as soon as possible. Secondly, Neurology is a field in which patients often suffer from illnesses that are progressive, potentially incurable and often, inevitably fatal. A neurologist must have a strong sense of duty to not give up on such patients, but to persevere and give his best to every patient. Every physician regardless of specialty needs these qualities in some measure, but to a neurologist – They are vital!
My passion for clinical soundness and professionalism is my greatest strength. I enjoy ‘teaching myself’ and transmit my enthusiasm for learning to those around me. Given a chance at your prestigious residency program, I am sure that I would add to positivity, responsibility and productivity to the team efforts and make an ethical and good resident.

Phd In Clinical Health Psychology Or Md?


Please Help.
I am debating between applying to medical school or getting a phd in clinical health psychology.
My undergrad in pre-med (biology) was due to my interest in neurology (chronic pain/migraine). As it turns out the length of time is about the same for each degree path but the ultimate salary is less as a healthy psychologist. I am also concerned I won’t find a job as a psychologist in a pain clinic since it is such a small niche. I would appreciate feedback from people who have experience in these fields. Thanks so much!!
