My Interest in Research
As someone who would like a future in medicine, I've been trying to gain as much experience and exposure in the field as possible. I am very new to research and do not have much experience in the field, but I believe that I would do well in a lab due to my previous work in the medical field. My time in volunteering and being a clinical assistant has gained me valuable skills such as work ethic and time management which will come in handy. Even more so, I would love the opportunity to improve my problem-solving skills and technical lab skills which will be vital for me in the future.
