Dear,

Changing the bandage on an angry bulldog’s paw or trimming the hooves of a20xx-pound draft horse can be an intimidating venture. Curing animals requirescompassion, precision, and confidence; it is also an excellent way to learnabout practicing medicine and to feel the satisfaction of helping someone inneed. Due to my rural background, knowledge of animals, and love of science, Ibegan working for a local veterinarian at a young age. Later in life, when Idecided to become a physician, I saw that my veterinary experiences had preparedme well for a career in health care.

When I started volunteering in an emergency room, I learned that humansreally aren't so different from other animals -- I needed to show my compassionin order to earn their trust before I could heal or comfort them. When a childor widow brought me their dying pet and pleaded for me to cure it, I had tosoothe the person as well as the animal. I used this calm compassion in theemergency room when comforting the family of a father who had just suffered aheart attack, or when talking with a husband frantic about his wife’s caraccident. I saw further similarities between human and animal medicine when Ishadowed Dr. Harry Williams in his family practice. I saw that his closerelationship with his patients led him to keep thinking of them long after hisoffice closed for the day. Likewise, as a veterinary technician, I had oftencarefully considered how to help each animal. Compassion is truly a prerequisitefor any career in health care.

In my work with animals, I learned that perseverance is key to successfultreatment. Interruption of that treatment can lead to disastrous results. Inmany rural communities near my home, I witnessed the consequences of the absenceof consistent medical care. As a farrier, I have worked in many old-orderMennonite communities whose needs aren’t being met: when one client's daughterinjured her hand in a corn sheller, she was unable to get medical care becausefacilities were far away and no doctors could come to their farm. The girl’shand was infected and not healing well. I did what I could, but I was troubledthat I didn’t have the expertise to treat the injury. On my next visit, I sawthat her hand had grown deformed. Had she been able to see a physician morefrequently, her hand might have healed correctly. Encounters of this kind haverevealed to me the consequences of medically underserved communities. I lookforward to working toward a solution to this problem when I am a physician.

A good veterinarian operates with precision. I have applied the careful,exacting skills I learned with animals to my lab work. I am currently involvedin research on corneal endothelium with Dr. Carson Kennedy. In the lab, we studymammalian corneal cells; eventually, we would like to describe and preventophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma. Through this work, I have honed myscientific skills and sharpened my analytical mind. It is exhilarating to catcha glimpse of valuable knowledge, not yet known by anyone, which has thepotential to help many people. It is also very rewarding to know that I havecontributed to the advancement of medicine by providing research results thatwill improve people’s health.

Perhaps the most important quality required to practice human or animalmedicine is confidence. In the lab, in the emergency room, and in the field, Ihave had many opportunities to observe the importance of confident leadership toa medical practice. Over the years, I have observed that the best veterinariansand physicians handle each issue swiftly and appropriately, delegating tasks toothers with self-assurance. In every medical situation, someone must take thelead role while working to manage the team. Leadership roles have always comenaturally to me -- I spent twelve years working toward becoming an Eagle Scoutand helping my younger brother to do the same. The composure I gained as a troopleader helped me to excel in my role as supervisor at a large walking horsefarm. Since then, I have grown into leadership roles that required moresignificant responsibilities. I am comfortable as a leader because I amconfident in my ability to ensure the health and safety of others. Theleadership skills I have developed will be a vital part of my work as aphysician.

When I began working as a veterinary technician, I did not fully realizethat the skills I gained would be so applicable to my eventual career as aphysician. Yet my experiences with animals have provided me with an excellentfoundation to continue my studies of human health and well-being. I am eager todevelop the medical knowledge I have gained thus far in order to become the kindof physician my community will be able to rely on.

　　Yours sincerely,
