People would expect that a medical sciences major like me would only have one devotion: healthcare. However, several passions influence my life to mold me into who I am. Here are just some of them.
1. Family
2. Friendship
3. Music
4. Teaching
5. Medicine
6. Learning
7. Creating
8. Service
9. Art
10. The future
My name is Emily Kim. I am a graduate of Beavercreek High School in Beavercreek, Ohio in the class of 2015, and I am in my thirdyear pursuing a B.S. in Medical Sciences from the University of Cincinnati in the class of 2019. I am also part of the University Honors Program, a Cincinnatus Scholar, a member of the Connections Dual Admissions BS/MD program, and a leader of GlobeMed, a public/global health and social justice organization. In the foggy future, I plan on attending medical school at the University of Cincinnati after completing my undergraduate to become a physician. I love playing piano and trombone and frequently arrange and (attempt) to write my own music, but singing in the car is another of my more guilty pastimes. Lorde's new album is getting me pumped as I'm writing this. As the benefit dinner co-director on the executive board in GlobeMed, I have the chance to spread GlobeMed's message of sustainability and empathy to Cincinnati community members as well as to people in our partner organization, Social Action for Women, in Mae Sot, Thailand.
Being a physician is much like being a teacher. Deducing the issue afflicting a patient, helping a patient grasp his condition in a way understandable to someone with little to no medical knowledge, and explaining how to help the patient in the best way possible all incorporate qualities of a teacher-- education, explanation, patience, guidance, empathy, and service to create a better person. I believe in a holistic approach to medicine by encompassing a person's life into his diagnosis, education, and treatment. This quote by William Osler sums up how I will approach my career of service and how I hope the attitude in healthcare shifts in the coming years:
"Ask not what disease the person has, but rather what person the disease has."
I have a lot to learn. The future holds many things in store for me, and although I might think I know exactly what I want to accomplish, I have the world at my feet.
