On My Way to Medical School

On my way to the medical school, when I was walking in the long and dimly hall on the 3rd floor I injected a unique "hospital odor" that even people can not explain or pinpoint. Overlooking another long hall, I finally watched the doctor leave the hallway and hurried to the family waiting room for several hours in the end. My grandfather went anxiously to talk to a cardiac surgeon, which was the first time in my life.

When I entered medical school, I was irritated except that I distributed his attention to manage my symptoms and maintained the environment in my daily life. Every day, it is filled with a wide variety of rituals inside and outside. Did you confirm that all doors are locked once, twice or three times? Are you sure that all the burners on the stove are gone before I fall asleep? You can learn only after having a tendency to get absorbed in the thought in your head. In order to confirm that the garage is closed and all the pedestrians are safe, you can take a class two or three times after driving. I work hard every day to suppress the sound I want to take away my dreams. I am used to countering this fear. Once again, I got something I worked hard for. I am a medical student and I am studying how to manage people's lives. I know the excitement of being wearing a white coat. I felt the internal structure of the individual who breathed life into my education.

For me, becoming one of the few blacks in my classes and medical schools has become an accepted norm. When I announced a report that the American Medical Association (AAMC) in 1978 reported that the number of black males at medical schools was more than 2014, I felt uneasy about that number, but in my personal experience I was not surprised. The most crazy data point in publications is that in 1978, 542 black men entered the American medical school, and in 2014 only 515 people were registered. Black men, on the other hand, accounts for about 0% of the medical student enrollment rate. In 2014, blacks accounted for 13.3% of the US population. When observing men and women blacks in 2014, black medical students still accounted for only 7% of new medical students.
