Summary

Since I have always been interested in activities that offer opportunities for helping people, I shadowed and volunteered at Fox Chase Cancer Center, Temple University Hospital, and University of Pennsylvania Hospital. The purpose of this activity was to gain experience working in a health environment. I really enjoyed that even with my limited knowledge I was able to make a difference in the daily routine of the department. In my opinion, shadowing and volunteering are the best extracurricular activities in which a pre-medical student can engage. I can emphatically state that one of the major reasons why I want to be a doctor is due to my shadowing and volunteering experience.

While shadowing Dr. Serban Constantinescu in Nephrology, Kidney Transplant, and Pancreas Transplant, I observed how he interacted with his patients and listened to the types of questions he asked them that would be relevant to his diagnoses.
