Ever since I can remember, the human body has fascinated me. Our bodies are way more complex than meets the eye. What astounds me the most is the fact that our bodies are constantly fighting off a wide range of intruders in order to keep us alive. The mere fact that we have the ability to breathe, walk, talk and think all because of the different sections and organs in our bodies. My striving fascination of the human body has influenced me to choose a career that discovers what disrupts our bodies daily function. In Forensic Pathology I would be able to work in a legal-medical field that uses science to identify how a person died or how the person was killed. It all started when I entered the Mentoring in Medicine program in TMA that I was finally exposed to possible health careers. In that class we would dissect baby pigs, learn how to suture on a pigs foot, and explore ligaments and tendons on a chicken leg. It was exactly what science classes look like on TV. One of the events that affected me the most was when we went on a trip to an anatomy lab at Touro Medical College. It put all the systems I had studied into perspective. At first it was pretty nerve-racking, however, my nervousness quickly went away once I put on those gloves and began to explore the organs of a deceased person.
Ultimately Mentoring in Medicine has served a great impact on my choice of major. I am almost 100% sure I would want to pursue a medical career.
I loved Mentoring in Medicine last year (even though I do not want to pursue medicine). that class was very different and when we went to Touro College and we were able to touch the human brain I just loved it. and I see how interested you are in Forensics and you do make it seem quite interesting and I can see yo in the future being very successful.
