To strive to be among the top 100 in my field has always been my
aspiration. For the materialization of this aspiration, I have dedicated
all my enthusiasm and energy to my academic endeavors—both my studies
and research—over the past few years. However, to my dismay, the
unsatisfactory research conditions in China have caused the research and
the therapeutic level in the field of my specialization, namely clinical
medicine /Gastroenterology, to lag behind those of the developed
countries in the West by at least 10 years. Many of the original ideas
that I have developed on certain issues in my field cannot be fully put
into practice on account of the limitations in personnel, experimental
facilities and research funds. Consequently, I strongly wish that I can
be admitted into your esteemed university to undertake an advanced
degree program in clinical medicine & gastroenterology.
I have cherished a deep and long yearning for a chance to study at your
university. As early as the years when I was an undergraduate at the
Department of Medicine of XX (Provincial) Medical University, I had a
chance to read the book The Reach of Helicobacter Pylori edited by some
professors of your university which influenced me to take up the study
of digestive diseases as my area of specialization. Later, during my
Master’s program, I focused on the development of the chronic stomach
disease (gastrosia) and the incidence of the gastric cancer. The
comprehensive research and practice that I have performed in this area
further reinforce my determination to seek advanced studies at your
university when there should be an opportunity. This is because your
esteemed university enjoys a very high academic reputation for the
research work you have carried out in the field of digestive disease
study. This ensures that if I can be admitted into your program I will
be part of your well-respected program and I will be able to undertake
in-depth study and develop a close understanding of the most updated
theories and technical developments in this field. By working together
and exchanging experiences with the world’s leading experts in this
field, I will be exposed to wholly novel ideas of research and
significantly broaden my academic vision.
At the same time, as China is a country with a high incidence of
hepatopathy (liver disease), I believe that I can make important
contributions to the relevant research projects of your university with
my rich clinical experience in this field. Of course, I am fully aware
that, to be able to enroll in your prestigious and time-honored
university, I will be inevitably confronted with fierce competitions
from other elitist students the world over. But I have full confidence
in myself as a worthy candidate for your program based on my past
education, research and clinical experience, as well as my aspiration to
develop myself into a leading expert in China in my chosen area.
At the Department of Medicine and the Graduate School of XX Medical
University, I respectively completed my Bachelor’s program and my
Master’s program in internal medicine. Through my academic endeavors, I
have not only laid a firm yet comprehensive groundwork in medical
theories, becoming well-read in classic medical literature, but also
developed a sound ability in rigorous yet flexible logical thinking and
a sense of scientific commitment. I am relatively strong at probing,
from a micro perspective, into the etiopathologic and developmental
mechanisms, at theoretically deducing the process of the genesis of a
pathological state, and at demonstrating it through well-designed
experiments. During heated classroom discussions, I could always
convince my classmates with my eloquent presentation, rigorous logical
analysis and detailed experimental statistics. In addition to that, I
have also won general recognition from the teachers and professors who
taught me.
My research capacity, creative thinking and experimental skills
experienced further improvement as I joined a research group at the XX
Research Institute of Digestive Diseases to undertake a research project
for my Master’s program. Under the leadership of Prof. XXX, the most
celebrated specialist on digestion, I participated in the project The
Development of Chronic Stomach Disease (Gastrosia) & the Mechanism of
Cancerization sponsored by XX Provincial Bureau of Public Health. In
this project, I focused my research on the mechanism of action and the
cellular immunity of the catalyst subunit telomerase in cancerization
and investigated, through a microscopic approach, the clinical
significance that those two factors may produce on the diagnosis,
treatment and prognosis of the gastric cancer. My thesis, entitled The
Expression of hTERT mRNA and Cellular Immunity in Gastric Cancer and
Precancerosis won high evaluations from Prof. XX and Prof. XXX and other
specialists from XX Union Hospital and the No. 1 Clinical Medical
Institute of XX University. They rated my thesis as “demonstrating
originality in conception and effective methodology, enriching relevant
theories and having marked clinical significance.”
I have accumulated much practical clinical experience since I started
working at The No. 2 Hospital of XX Medical University which is
classified as the “Grade-A Class-III” hospital (the highest ranking for
a hospital in China). Based on my research during the Master’s program,
I expanded my research area to include the study on gastric cancer. I
have published a total of six papers (please refer to my Resume for more
detailed information), including the latest The Expression and the
Clinical Implication of the Catalyst Subunit Telomerase in Gastric
Cancer and Precancerosis, in the World Journal of Gastroenterology and
other leading journals in China and collected into Science Citation
Index-Expanded Index Medicus /MEDLINE and Chemical Abstracts. Some of
those papers were designated to be presented at annual conference on
digestion in XX and XX Province.
While undertaking research, I have received formal and comprehensive
training as resident physician of internal medicine and obtained
national doctor license. Through the training program I have grasped the
pathogenetic mechanisms of gastrointestinal and liver diseases,
cardiovascular diseases, endocrinopathy, pulimonary and connectiv tissue
diseases and their corresponding diagnosis and treatment. In less than
two years after working at the hospital, I passed the national-level
qualifying examination to have achieved the qualifications as the
physician-in-charge in digestive internal medicine.
Helicobacter Pylori has been regarded as the key factor in the incidence
of gastric diseases and the contributing factor in cancerization. The
research in this field has reached the molecular level. I have a good
foundation of academic research in this aspect. China has a high
incidence of liver diseases and a large proportion of patients I deal
with in my daily work are those of hepatitis, allowing me to acquire
abundance clinical experience and deep understanding concerning the
genesis of the hepatitis and the disease-causing mechanism of the
viruses. Those two fields will be the area of focus in my prospective
program at your university. Ideally, I hope to achieve some breakthrough
theoretically and technically.
For too many times, I have witnessed the enfeeblement of the otherwise
robust life of patients due to their physiological conditions. The
horror of seeing the gradual dwindling of a strong-willed life is simply
beyond description. But I have largely transmuted this horror into a
motivation behind all my academic endeavors and professional practices.
For me, success has only one meaning, that is, to unravel the mysteries
of the diseases pestering human beings and to contribute to the
well-being of my patients. |
