Log entry, the catch scarlet queen. Position, 3 degrees, 7 minutes north, 104 degrees, 2 minutes east. Wind brisk, sky fair. Remarks, departed Singapore after altercation with deputy public prosecutor. Reason for incident, sure leave and the unhappy wife. It was 10 days out of high fang that we rounded Point Lima, left the China sea astern glowing like gold in the strong afternoon sun, and passed through Singapore straight to find mooring at the peninsular company docks just south of Raffles Quay. My chief mate Gallagher and I left the ship as soon as she was secure and hailed a cab. Hotel metropole, Charlie! I'd been hit periodically with a feeling akin to sickness for three or four days before our Singapore arrival. And it gnawed at me more severely than ever now that I was separated from the hotel only by minutes. Part relief, part apprehension, part disbelief that I was actually here and almost face-to-face with Kuji Kang. The man who'd drawn me all the way from San Francisco was ready to send me farther into, I didn't know what, on the voyage of the Scarlet Queen. As we walked through the lobby of the metropole, I had the feeling that I and I alone had ever been in a situation just like this. I wondered if I looked as conspicuous as I felt and whether the little British desk clerk caught the shake in my voice as I told him to phone Kang's room. I wondered if he was smiling at the strain even I could feel in the way I'd looked at him as he came back from the switchboard. The honorable Kuji Kang is in and he will see. After everything, after sweating and bleeding for over 13,000 miles, and after fighting and killing, after giving up and starting it all over again, that's how I was notified of my final success. As if I'd dropped in from the next hotel. The honorable Kuji Kang is in and he will see you. That's what the man said. And so mutual continues the voyage of the Scarlet Queen written by Gildowd and Bob Tallman and starring Elliot Lewis. The Scarlet Queen, proudest ship to plow the seas, bound for uncharted adventure. Every week a complete entry in the log and every week a league further in the strange voyage of the Scarlet Queen. My son. How are you, Kang? Now, I am all right, Phillip. You are here. Oh, Red, I'd like to have you meet Kuji Kang. This is Mr. Gallagher, my chief mate. How do you do? It is my honor, Mr. Gallagher. Thanks, Mr. Kang. Thanks very much. It's been a long time, Kang. Now that we're here and we've found you and everything. It's a way of a letdown, sir. It's a little hard to believe. Of course. I am filled with the same feelings. So I have collected on the table here as American an assortment of liquor as I was able to find in Singapore. This bottle, for example, they tell me it is called corn squeezing in certain sections of your country. Kang, you're wonderful. White mule. Please, help yourselves. You'll have a drink with us, Kang. Sir, I believe it is better that I die in ignorance of the effects of corn in this particular form. I have here my wine and my spirit will be the same. An important drink. It is indeed. Therefore, one before which we should hesitate not one instant. Phillip. Red, skipper. And now, Phillip, I would like to speak to you in privacy for a few minutes. You would not mind, Mr. Gallagher? Oh, it's all right with me, sir.  We will rejoin you shortly. In the meantime, I'm expecting two other guests, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Marlowe. Should they arrive, please introduce yourself and give them my welcome? Yes, sir. In here, Phillip? Yes, sure. Phillip, my son. The pride I feel for you fills my heart, and it must overflow. Thank you, Kang.  My daughter herself at least partially described to you the value of the treasure after which you have been sailing, and which has been the basis for all the attacks upon you. That's right, sir. Constantino has not yet, and I fear will not until the last moment, halt his efforts to gain the treasure for himself. His goal is personal profit. Mine, I say simply, is to recover the treasure for my country to which it is of untold value, because in it are relics from each of the dynasties from centuries BC to the most recent. As you have been told, there are two ivory tablets from the first, or yin and... As he talked, I felt myself filling with the same sense of urgency that had taken me when I originally signed with him in Shanghai almost three years before. Maybe it was a type of hypnotism. Maybe it was that through his great personality the magic of China's past actually reached through and held me. Whatever it was I knew again as I'd known before that it was something more than my signature on a Chinese contract that kept me sailing under his charter. Maybe Jason felt the same kind of pull in his search for the Golden Fleece. Maybe Sir Gallahad after the Holy Grail. I would have believed anything, myth or fairy tale. But when my mind dropped back into reality it dropped suddenly and it stayed there. So you see, Philip, my son, in the face of such value we must maintain utmost caution. To do so, I must ask you to discharge your first officer, Mr. Gallagher. King, discharge Gallagher? Remember, my son, he was in the employ of Constantino when he signed on with you in San Francisco. He was under a cloud of suspicion in Honolulu and Kobe. I know it can, but things have changed. I'd trust that guy with my life. I've done it. Could it not be my son that he would do his utmost to save your life until the treasure was placed aboard your Scarlet Queen? We'll talk about it no longer at this time. I have sent for a man in whom I have the greatest faith, Harry Morrow. He is an unmatched navigator. He knows the celibacy as he knows his own body. I, uh, I had hoped to see him beside you on the decks of the Scarlet Queen. I don't know, Kang, this is awful tough. But she's still your ship. We will talk no longer about it. You will meet him now at any rate. I, uh, have but a word of fatherly warning. His wife, Jean. Huh? Poor Marlowe's excellence is based upon the niceties of celestial navigation, I fear, and not upon the niceties of the so-called celestial bliss demanded by a woman like Jean. She is, in short, a huntress. Shall we go? I know what he meant when we saw them. Harry Marlowe was the porky type. He forced his clothes at the points of constriction oozing out over his belt and his collar. The wife, Jean, was a true night-blooming type, her hair blonde, verging on platinum. Her clothes were filled correctly. I saw how easily she herded her husband and the others to one corner of the room, me and to another. I've heard so much about you from Kang. I feel as though I know you very well. He warned me against you. Warned you? Yes. He said you're the type that wives leave husbands for. And now I believe him. Just between you and me, Phil, can you blame me for wanting to once in a while? I don't blame anybody for anything. Believe me, you show great promise. But don't you think you'd better move outside the family circle? We could be careful, couldn't we? That's exactly what I am being gorgeous. I don't want any trouble now. Perhaps I was mistaken in you. I'm a little surprised at myself, but thanks for the compliment anyway. You're entirely welcome. Schoolboy. The rest of the meeting was no less nightmarish. We drank our way through Kang's assortment of liquor, had dinner, and when I got to the point where I was hardly able to look Gallagher or Kang in the eye, we left. The next three days should have been the best period of the voyage. Kang didn't spare anything in making it a holiday for all of us. The Scarlet Queen went into dry dock for a complete repair and repainting. The crew was brought ashore to live and let go with an expense account limited only by the fact that there were only 24 hours a day to spend it in. Red and I were set up in a suite at the hotel metropole with two bedrooms and a palace. I didn't tell Red about Kang's wish.  And instead I watched him leave the hotel every afternoon, watched him crawl back into the room every morning just before dawn. I didn't find out where he'd been spending his time until a little after two, the morning of the fourth day. And by then it was too late. His face was beaten raw when he came in. There was a look of terror in his eyes, but I'd never seen there before. Skipper. What's the matter, Red? What's the matter? Her husband. Whose husband? Malo. That Malo woman. Gallagher, stop making sense. Sit down. Is that who you've been mixed up with? Yeah. You picked a great one, Red. Anybody but his wife. So Malo showed up. What happened? I don't know, Skipper. I don't know, but he's dead. I don't know, Skipper. So help me. Put a shot. All right. What happened?  I made him drop it and we landed on the floor and she put a gun in my hand. I didn't want it. He landed one on my face then. I was kind of groggy for a second and then... There was the shot. Okay, Red. That's a great story. It's the best I can do, Skipper. Accidents like that happen. I didn't have any reason to kill him. I wouldn't kill him just to get away from him, would I? I don't think you would, Red. That's the trouble. Oh, look. Answer it, Skipper. You know who it is. Yeah. That's right. Okay. Thanks. The police, Red, they're on their way up. Have you got the gun? Yeah. Here it is. All right. Leave it here. I'll keep it out of sight. Get out of here, don't you think? That'll make it look worse. Nothing will make it look worse. Get out of here. Let me know where you are when you can and stay undercover. You're hotter than you even think. Inspector Edwards, Deputy Public Prosecutor's Office. Your name, please? Philip Carney. What's the occasion? What do you want? Your Chief Officer, Mr. Gallagher, is to be held for prosecution, the charge to be murder. Why are you are crazy? Mr. Gallagher was discovered in a rather indelicate situation by Mr. Harry Marlowe, the husband of the woman sharing that situation. Do I make myself clear? It has a familiar ring. Naturally, there was a spurt of jealous anger from Marlowe, a bit of defensive action from Gallagher, a scuffle, a shot, and Mr. Marlowe was dead. Self-defense? If Gallagher were dead and Marlowe alive, yes. Self-defense and justifiable homicide under the unwritten law. It would be so much simpler for all of us if that were the situation, wouldn't it? Manslaughter. Possibly, a five-year minimum sentence in the Federated Malae Estates. But I'd like to think that it was premeditated. Oh, not a chance, Edwards. I've known Gallagher for a long time. Long enough to know he wouldn't use a gun to get away from a wronged husband. So where's your motive? We both know there was an excellent motive. Don't we, Mr. Carney? What do you mean, Edwards? We both know that Harry Marlowe was due to take Gallagher's place as Chief Mate on your vessel, don't we? But still no motive, because Gallagher didn't know. I didn't tell him. I'm afraid you're a bit mistaken. Gallagher did know. Where did you get that lie? From an entirely impeccable source. From your employer, Mr. Carney. Koogee Kang. Kang, you still awake? Yes, Fritip. I have been waiting for you. Sit down, my boy. I need some help, Kang. You've heard about everything, I guess. I just want to know one thing. Did you tell Gallagher that Marlowe was going to sail with me? You should be able to answer that yourself, Fritip. You didn't, did you? The police told me he knew. I'm afraid he did. I'm afraid Marlowe himself told him. Why? Marlowe came here tonight. He was most incensed. He was convinced that his wife involved herself only to keep him from making the trip with you. She had threatened that if he went, she would transfer her affections to the man whose place he took. He left here to explain her insincereity to Mr. Gallagher. He was going to tell him everything. When did she make that threat, Kang? The evening after you met them. Yeah. She's a great little woman. Perhaps she merely knows men's weakness. Maybe that's it, Kang. Maybe that's it. I stayed in the suite the next day waiting for word from Gallagher. It came about 2.30 that afternoon. He was holed up in a room out on Victoria Street in the Chinese section where he thought he'd be safe for a while. Then I left the hotel and went down to get the autopsy report on Marlowe. And after that, I went out to pay my respects to his widow. She was reclining in a wicker chair near a little fountain in the garden of the Marlowe Cottage. Phil, I'm glad you've come. What about Red? No, they haven't found him yet. Not that they don't have the dragnet out. Well, I know I shouldn't say this, Phil, but I just can't bring myself to hate Red. Because a method with some strong personal feeling between the two, I think that the shooting in the middle of the struggle was really accidental. I'm afraid I've got the only real proof, either for him or against him. The gun he was carrying. I know I ought to turn it in, but it's hard to bring myself to do it. Oh, Phil, what an awful burden. You know how they are. They'll want to check the bullet they took from your husband's body. Oh, how terrible for you. I know I can't help, but believe me, whatever you do is your secret. I've forgotten everything you've said to me. Thanks, Mrs. Marlowe. I really didn't come out here to share my problem with you. I wanted to tell you that I'd be in my hotel for the rest of the afternoon. I have to leave for an hour, around five. Then I'll be in for the rest of the night. So if you need anything, want any help, just let me know. Oh, thank you, Phil. I think I'll be all right. When I left her, I had two hours to arrange the biggest gamble of the voyage. The odds were two to one against me. The two-figure was divided into the possibility that Redd had killed Marlowe to keep his birth, or that it had been accidental during the scuffle, which under the circumstances would be almost as bad. The one against those two was the possibility that Jean had killed Marlowe. And that was based upon the faint, hazy fact that she tried to involve me before she'd gotten her hooks into Redd. It was weak, but I've caught 100-pound shark on 50-pound test line. All I could do was try. I grabbed a cab out to Victoria Street and found Redd huddled in a ratty room about the size of the queen's paint locker. What's doing this, skipper? I don't know, Redd. Well, nice place you got here. Yeah, and don't think I haven't been kicking myself around it once in a while. I'll give you a hand next time around. Redd, tell me one thing. Did you know there was talk of giving Marlowe your birth on the queen? My birth? What's the matter, skipper? I haven't given him my birth. Okay, that's all I wanted to hear, Redd. What's the matter, skipper? Haven't I been all right in your birth? Sure you have, Redd. I didn't want to give me a birth.  Will you drop it? Marlowe didn't say anything about it when he came in, huh? No, he didn't say anything. How about the woman? Something about too late. Didn't make any difference if he left or not. That's when he rushed me. Yeah. Okay, Redd, come on. We're gonna gamble. On what? On whether she knocked him off or not. Fine, gentlemen. Hello, Edward. Did you have any reason to lure me here, Connie? No, you can go anytime you want. Then you've become dreadfully careless and an outstandingly simple accessory. You see the gun, gentlemen? We'll leave now. Oh, wait a minute, Edward. You said you liked premeditated murder instead of manslaughter. Would you be willing to give us an hour and a half? I most certainly would not. Then I guess we'll have to resist arrest, Edward. We can't go with you.  I have to take you. Then you shouldn't have come alone. There we are, Redd. One of us will get you, Edward. Take your choice. You're my choice, Connie. It wasn't foolhardiness. It was desperation we had to get out of there. We separated, putting him between us. He started backing toward a wall. I wasted two breaths and glanced at Redd. He started to rush and stopped. Edward's eye swung his way for an instant, and I landed prone in front of him and rolled into him. He got scouched the floor inches away from me, and Redd hit him from behind. Between us, we quieted him down. We shoved a gag in his mouth, trust him up with our belts. When we left, there were two of us on the wrong side of the Singapore law. We sneaked into the hotel suite through a rear entrance. A few minutes before five, I made my public exit for the benefit of Mrs. Harry Milo. I circled the building and went back to the room by way of the rear door again and settled down to wait for her to pick up the cue I'd given her and sneak into the room to trade the murder weapon for the one Redd had left with me. It was a good plan. It was very clever. But it didn't work. Six o'clock, Redd and I looked at one another. What now, Skipper? I don't know. Maybe she'll still come. If you were going into somebody's room and you knew they'd be out between five and six, would you be late? But we still got the gun. If that isn't the one that killed him, I'm in the clear. Isn't that right? Yeah, yeah. We got the gun. No. Edward isn't going to stay in the hotel all night. You wait here, Redd. I'm going out. Maybe I'll get another brilliant idea. But that particular Singapore night didn't seem to be the one for brilliant ideas. I didn't dare go out through the lobby. I slipped out the back and started toward the Marlowe cottage. But with every step it became more obvious that there was no purpose in going any place. If she'd held to a story through my bluff, there was no way I could jar her off of it. I got a half a block away and the weight of the situation stopped me. Without a better answer for Marlowe's murder than the one they had already, there was no way for me to turn. With the Edwards thing, I was in as deeply as red. That meant Melee State's law. That led to jungle prisons. No, I couldn't see it.  Asked him to take care of the crew, keep his eyes closed. Well, Redd and I tried to make it out of the city to wherever we could get. Scattering of early diners was strolling towards the hotel unlike during my first visit to the hotel, but at the other extreme, I wondered if I looked as obvious as I felt. I hugged the shrubbery at the edge of the wide sidewalk and I'd almost reached the doorway when a whisper stopped me. Phil. Stopped my feet, my heart and my mind. Phil, I want to talk to you. Hello, Gene. What are you doing here? I've been waiting for you. Come into the garden with me. All right, Gene. What do you want? You expected me to come to your room, didn't you? Yes, I did. You expected me to bring this gun and leave it there, didn't you? But it was a trap, wasn't it? What do you want, Gene?   You got the autopsy report. You know they took the bullet from his body. And that it won't check with Red's gun. That's right.  How long have you been here? I've been waiting since five. Then you don't know that Inspector Edwards is at your house now waiting for you. You're lying. He isn't there. Give me the gun, Gene. No, you're lying. Gallagher has been cleared. He's down on the ship now.   Settle down. Settle down or I'll take the gun away from you. And then where will you be? You want me to take you home, Gene? No, no, Edwards. He's there. Take me to your room. You can help me out of this. Sure, gorgeous. We can help you out of this. Now drop the gun before I break your arm. Later that same night, the deputy public prosecutor's office got a more coherent confession than she'd given me. She'd been trying to get rid of her husband for the past two years by every method in or out of the book. And when two guys with potential motives arrived, me, to keep Gallagher in his birth, and Red, to keep himself in it, she'd gone to work. She'd missed me and caught Red and killed her husband during the fight she'd arranged herself. Later that night, the DPP's office had also received a very agitated inspector named Edwards. And at about that time, Red and I were two-thirds through a second or third celebration bottle of Kang's white mule in his rooms at the Metropole. Kang took me aside. If you lift my son, you are a young man with a stubborn will. Instinct, Kang. I know a good chief mate when I see one. There is no argument left in me. If you will submit to what you have recently experienced to keep Gallagher aboard, then Gallagher, it will be your handful. I wish to congratulate you on your police work. You mean the simple threat of checking the slug to her gun? I believe that is what does they say cracked the case? Yeah, it did, Kang. But it would have been a mess if somebody had asked me to make the threat good. That slug... it had hit Marlowe's belt buckle on the way in. It was so misshapen they couldn't have checked it to any gun. Surprising revelation, my son. Bitter proof that even the wisdom of Confucius blanches before the luck of the Irish. By nine the next morning, we'd slipped out through the islands before harbour, and as we headed into Main Strait, we picked up the trades whistling down toward the equator. Then bang to make sails! The queen looked like the cover girl on a dollar yachting magazine in her new paint and her new varnish. The new hemp in her running rigging was stiff in the crew's hands. The stabber cheats make sails! The big expanse of the mainsail crackled into the breeze, and the streak of sunlight on the shining mane must blistened and moved as the tall spar leaned a little under the wind. The gypsy, white and untried rode out. The mizzen creaking with newness swung over my head, and the scarlet queen brazenly showed her shining side as she buckled into the run toward British north Borneo. I'm trying to think of a time when I felt better, and I can't. For me, you can have Singapore. What's our next port, Gipper? Sundercan. And listen, Red. Now, I hope you aren't going to mind a little fatherly advice. No, sir. Now you'll have to admit that woman was dynamite. Yes.  That doesn't sound so good. Well, we'll get references, letters of recommendation, things like that. That won't be much fun, but we'll keep you out of trouble. Yes, sir. Yeah, now. A bottle, please. Yes, sir. Prince Gipper. Huh? You need one worse than I do. After you, mate, after you.


My name is Sherr Faak. I'm a PJY3 Permanent Medicine resident. Our program focuses on three different aspects, all crucial for a trainee. There's a focus on community where we have multiple opportunities to make a difference. Our program is also heavy on research, how to perform and construct data analysis and present the epidemiologic information in front of your target audience. Lastly, we have the ability to tire MPH coursework and address concepts such as social determinants of health in a clinical setting. For these reasons, I am grateful to be part of this Preventive Medicine Training program. Our faculty here is dedicated to ensure that we receive the best training possible. Hi, my name is Jennifer Shields and I'm the Chief Resident for the Preventive Medicine Residency Program. One of the main things that distinguishes our program from other Preventive Medicine Residency programs are the opportunity for rotations. These include federal agencies, including the FDA, Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. These federal agencies and other agencies represent a significant opportunity to network and even parlay the rotation into a future career. Hi, I'm Wendy Lane. I'm the Program Director for the Preventive Medicine Residency Program at the University of Maryland. The residency program provides excellent training in quantitative and qualitative research in public health practice, in leadership, and in public health policy. Our small size means that residents get a lot of individual attention and that we have direct interaction with many of our faculty members. We have an excellent track record for passage of our Preventive Medicine Boards and our residents are easily able to get jobs in many different fields including federal, state and local health departments in private industry and also in academic settings. We wish you good luck in your search and hope that you choose to apply to our program.


Thank you so much for everyone who's on the call today. Today's webinar will be focused on really navigating the intricacies of creating a compelling medical school or PA school statement, and I'm really thrilled to be the moderator of today's discussion with our esteemed guest speakers for today. So before we get started, just a quick note to the group that you will have access to the Q&A box as well as the chat function throughout the session. So if you have any questions, please feel free to go ahead and drop your questions in there. I will do my best to monitor and we will get to them towards the end of the presentation. I encourage you to stick to the end because we have a short survey for your feedback on how today's session went and would love to collect those. So without further ado just want to dive right into the discussion. Our speakers are experts in both the medical field and PA field as well I have graciously agreed to share their insights and wisdom with us today. So we have a series of really thought provoking questions lined up to get us started. So today we have Caroline Weeks. She is a physician assistant with over seven years of experience as a registered diet dietician nutritionist specializing in pediatric subspecialties. We also have Dr. Kay who is an Instagram content creator and a physician who loves sharing her life and everything medicine on her page. She is passionate about medical education and representation in medicine. So just want to quickly dive right into the conversation and thank you both so much for being here. I'm really excited about what we're going to talk about today. So I'll just quickly share your journey and your experience in the medical field and sort of what led you here today and we'll start with you Dr. Kay. Hi, good afternoon everyone I'm so happy to be here and thank you to any for instruction. Essentially, I, my journey here was obviously into medicine was like a love for public health and prevent preventative health which let me to primary care but during this journey I served on adcom in med school and then also in residency as chief resident so I oversaw a lot of the admissions part of it so I got to review lots of personal statements, as well as write my own and help others along the way so with that and my experience with my degree in writing communications and undergrad. I'm definitely a part of the medical field and I'm passionate about because I think as healthcare workers and future healthcare workers sometimes we learn so much about the left brain events and type of studies but we don't really learn how to like sell ourselves or like you know express ourselves properly so it's really a joy to know not only being webinars like this but also to help people one on one. So yeah I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much and how about you Caroline. Thank you. It's such a pleasure to finally meet Dr clone am I saying your last name right correctly. Okay, to meet you in person, and thanks for having me and thanks for everybody in the audience today. As you mentioned Janie I started my career as a registered dietician nutritionist and worked clinically as a nutrition provider in the medical world. Inside of that, I have a lot of experience over 10 years and the nutrition health and wellness media kind of sector. And so I worked at Mayo Clinic prior as a dietician and was on one of the sort of boards for contacting and being contacted as a nutrition expert from major media outlets like USA Today things of that nature and also have been a health and wellness writer and contributor for a lot of media outlets. Like Dr colon said you know communication in your field will always be important I think it's crucial for any field we go into. I recently went back to school and obtained my physician assistant degree so I'm now practicing in the medical field as well full time, but maintain my dietician credential so I'm working in the area of endocrinology and diabetes now. Awesome. Thank you so much. So for students who are on the call who are sort of thinking about a career in health care and medicine, just want to hear from your experience how has all of your experience including your clinical rotation research projects volunteer work really influenced your decision to pursue a career in medicine and at what point did you say, I'm in the right place this is what I really want to do. Yeah, I'll just go ahead because I think my journey is maybe a little bit more non traditional I can't speak for Dr. Clawne but obviously I went in a different a different area first and then decided I wanted to pursue more of a medical role. And so you know I think all of my cumulative experiences have led me to be where I am today and I've never once looked back. That being said my dietetic internship which is kind of like I like to kind of describe it akin to a residency for dieticians. I do it postgrad before we can you know sit for boards and practice. Mine was extremely medically focused I did it at a VA hospital in Minneapolis and I was able to scrub in and surgeries and really be involved in the medical aspect of things which I think piqued my interest. I went on to then pursue a career in cystic fibrosis as a dietician where I was managing a lot of things like pancreatic enzyme replacement. And so got to really rub elbows with the physicians and be a part of that, the medical care of patients as well so that's what really inspired me to go on to pursue more. But again it's been a mixture of asking questions being curious and then being able to kind of practice to the top of my license and that role is what sort of led me to where I am today I guess. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Dr. Kay. Yeah, I mean, I think for me. And just to clarify the question it was how we got here today or I guess what specific question do you want us to answer. Yeah, just curious at what point did you just did it click in your mind that you wanted to pursue a career in medicine is was it your clinical rotation like research projects what made it click for you. Thank you I just wanted to make sure I was repeating what I said. So, I think for me it was definitely more like personal reasons I think that a medicine was more of something that I for like I mentioned representation like seeing doctors who can relate to me. I think growing up on the way I did I think that was really my initial urge and so I think that personal drive was like so motivating for me and I think that ended up being the reason and why immerse myself into the field of medicine rotations and obviously when you see other people do it you are so motivated to I think when you have like a personal reason that you want to make a change I think no matter what the avenue becomes for you. It becomes fulfilling so I think whether I did became a physician or a PA like you know no matter what I think if I was just able to make that change which for me specifically was seeing more positions who could relate to my background, who are really passionate and providing compassionate care to people of all backgrounds. And that would have been fulfilling no matter what. Yeah, that's awesome to hear. And before I move on to my next question just want to get a sense of who's on the call with us today so if you all can type in the chat. What you are aspiring career is what do you hope to become in health care I know a lot of us are looking at the PA routes and medical routes so we'd love to know who on the call who is on the call and what year, sort of where you are in your PhD. And so, in my experience one of the advice that I've heard, especially for students is get that clinical experience. It's very important when you're ready to apply for PA school medical school. What advice would you give to students who are seeking to gain those relevant medical experience and opportunities to enhance their medical school application. So first, so I definitely think, and I always talk about this but I really mean it when I say, I'm trying to get like paid clinical experience is probably the way to go not just because you're getting paid but I think when you have that responsibility where you're like responsible for a certain role and the matter what that role is in the medical team, I think that the sense of like, not just like empowerment but also education is a lot higher because you have this, you know, responsibility to fulfill and giving an example if you are just shadowing a doctor right you are definitely learning a lot and you're kind of following someone around. But if you're a medical assistant to a doctor you are kind of responsible to get go through each patients like you know information and like take vitals and like work with the doctor directly in the treatment plan. I think that in itself is not just a great role because you learn more but I think that you also get paid, you know for the time you spend there. So I personally felt like when I was doing paid clinical experience. That was when I learned the most. So I was in your scribe. I got to work as an assistant without like an official assistant for a physician so I know that that was definitely fulfilling but in my experience, I think those roles really help you grow and really help you in leadership skills as well when you are responsible for tasks in a role in a healthcare setting. That's great information. And I'm just curious from your standpoint Caroline since you have more of the untraditional path what sort of advice would you give to students. Yeah, I would echo that. Obviously, my experience leading up to my PA application was, you know, being a clinician in my own way I was, you know, creating plans, providing care plans for patients, only in the nutrition world so still making autonomous decisions clinical evaluating patients from a holistic standpoint. So that was what I guess made me stand apart in that way but I think you know beyond beyond even clinical roles like say CNA or some of the more traditional ones we might think of anything that is touching a patient or patient facing account so thinking more even like research opportunities I think are really great when you're taking maybe a gap year between applying for medical school or something like that because sometimes in clinical research roles whether you're enrolling in clinical trials or something like that you're you're interacting with patients and you're again practicing that communication communications everything. So, in addition to that and what's already been said any role in which you can take a leadership position whether that be like a club, or something on campus where you are, you know, kind of interacting with a large crowd of people I think speaks a lot. Yeah, thank you so much. And in looking at a personal statement I know a lot of times once you build that wealth of knowledge you have all the experience. It's really hard sometimes to put that on paper, and really putting it on paper in a way that tells a story, and also a sort of showcases that you're ready to take that next step into medical school. So what is your advice for how students can effectively reflect and articulate their medical experiences in a compelling and authentic way when applying. And either one can take the question. I never want to talk over but I'll let you go first Caroline. Oh, sure. That's such a good question Janie and it's a really tough one to answer because everybody's so different we're all going to bring such unique experiences to the table. It's just important to speak authentically and true to yourself. You know, having some sort of narrative I think is really intriguing from in my opinion as somebody who's sat on review boards, you know and admissions committees and things for for incoming students. And that true authentic voice is really what's going to set you apart, but then doing that in a way that still meets the objective criteria showing the things you've learned showing kind of hashing out your experiences telling that story for me I really had to convey a convincing story why I wanted to completely change career paths that was a really hard thing to harness and just 1000 word personal statement so I had to make many, many versions of mine. But I think I was was honest so one of my main reasons which I pursued higher education was was financial I'll be honest. I don't feel like registered dieticians are sometimes paid and compensated to the best of what we do for the patients. In many ways in my previous role I felt like I was almost bleeding like my scope of practice was bleeding into somewhat of a PA role in and of itself so I had sort of been been truthful in that way I sort of called out the elephant in the room and I think that was really a refreshing aspect of my personal statement. And I think we're going to share maybe some excerpts from our personal statements maybe later and that can hopefully prove a point more but but being authentic to yourself but then also not just regurgitating your CV or your resume saying things you've done and the highlights, but in a way that's kind of woven into that narrative. Yeah, thank you so much Caroline. Yeah, that's great feedback and I think I'll just kind of add something that may be a little bit different is that I think that most times when I'm repersonal statements because I do edit on my own as well I've been doing this for years is that I see that. A lot of times people try to make their story fit like a narrative or like a box of like what they think a statement should look like so they'll probably get advice from like an advisor or counselor at school who will tell them do this this and this and it's like their story doesn't fit that narrative and so I, I just think that the best way to get the best personal statement is to be yourself and just like, right like have a session where you just take 10 to 30 minutes is right all your thoughts. Why you want to be a doctor or PA or you know whatever you want to be. And just right and then go through and try to, you know, put different ideas and different paragraphs like I think so many times people try so hard to like make their statement like somebody else's or with advice and what somebody else said but then it kind of leads into the story that they want to tell so I think just know that your story is important and if it's in somewhere. The goal and the art is to make it look good at the end but it doesn't have to look like everyone else's. And yeah and that's a good segue to our next question you sort of touched on this, not necessarily trying to fit within a box but being as authentic as possible. So when you're experienced Dr Kate what are some things or common pitfalls that you've seen or mistakes you've seen students make and how can our audience sort of avoids those when writing their personal statements. You know, I think that I see a lot of like science majors and people who are very like their personality is really different but they try to write like an English major like they will say like, you know, I'll just say something random like I walked down a paved road that was muddy and felt the breeze of like you don't have to write like that like this is not an English paper right like you can write just as you talk right and then we can get you know you can find someone to help you edit or you can edit at the end but you can write how you speak you don't have to make it sound like somebody in the 1800s wrote it right so I think a lot of times people tend to do that where they get the feedback that the first paragraph has to be very compelling but compelling doesn't mean that you have to write descriptive adjectives for everything you say that you just mean you shared a story that may be shocking to the reader to hear about right so that's definitely something I see people do a lot and what they'll do is they'll have a lot of like for both so very like they kind of Rambo and they kind of do a lot of descriptive adjectives but then the actual purpose is lost so just be sure that you're like getting to the point and you're not spending too much time being descriptive towards distracting. Yeah, thank you. Any advice to share in this area. Sure. I don't know if we have any pre PA students in the in the chat right now but one of mine. It sounds so silly, but it's a pet peeve of PAs is where you say physicians assistant and make it apostrophe, knowing you know what roles have to be because maybe some of the more nitty gritty grammatical things. Also knowing, you know, how to avoid run on sentences or when you need commas, you know, just making sure everything is spelled correctly I can't tell you how many times I see spelling errors so making sure, even if English isn't your first language to making sure that the just the syntax of it sounds good and there's a good flow. We may have some international students in the in the room tonight so just something to be be aware of. Additionally, I think, like Dr. Klon said, you want the first paragraph to be compelling. I think it don't fall into the cheese trap either with that so many times I see like a quote or something to start off a personal statement, and that is so overdone don't feel like you have to do that and make that be like you're like you can sinker in the beginning. Just, just be yourself. Yeah, this is great advice. And I've been hosting these webinars for a little bit and when you see student across the spectrum of, I have a lot of experience I'm ready to write my personal statement, and then you have a student who's, well I don't have a lot of experience what can I put on my personal statement. What advice would you give for students to be able to demonstrate their commitment to the medical field, wherever they fall in that spectrum whether it's having a lot of experience not as much to add to their personal statement. And I think it's case in point to all of our backgrounds mean Dr. Klon had a, you said undergraduate and communications that's, that's not necessarily direct medical experience but she's able to parlay it into something that's made her so successful in the medical field. I myself, I was actually a music major to start out with and I've really reinvented myself multiple times over. So just realizing that anything can count as experience. Yes, we want relevant clinical experience for medical school applications or the like. But just knowing that you can have those translational skills, and it's all about just being able to show what, what challenged you what event in your life, how you handle that and then what the outcomes of that were you know just as you would in a job interview or something of that nature. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I think that a lot of 10 people struggle with, you know, I don't have enough experience what I talk about or they tend to just like list out all their experience so I think I would say, like Carolyn said earlier, the experiences that you have a big impact with or that you have leadership in and kind of highlighting that versus just like listing out everything you did I think people tend to fixate on like one patient encounter, and they kind of talk about that but I think more importantly is to show how you grew from an experience right like not focusing on the patient or like one experience but rather how that role helped you in your career as an ex-Y or Z. Yeah, no that's helpful. So in your experience Dr. Kay and looking at all the personal statements that you've gone through. What are some examples if any that you can provide of meaningful medical experience or patient interaction that students should be putting in their personal statements knowing that not everything they've done can fit or should be on there. So I think like leadership roles should definitely you know be on there so if you work a leader of a club, and you've been in the club for like more than a year or so definitely include that I think if you were like a medical assistant or somewhere you have direct patient care like Caroline said earlier, definitely include that because that's also profound. And, you know, honestly, if you also like she said earlier if you do like even bench experience but it helped in a way that it really change your perspective on medicine or the way you want to pursue medicine include that so just anything that really shifted you are your growth I think sometimes we think that that has to be a specific type of training but it doesn't have to be but definitely if you're a leader of a group or if you've been doing direct patient care whether it's as a medical assistant ascribe a, you know, a technician, all that is really profound medical experience and it deserves a spot in your statement. Awesome. I will also add to and this is maybe more specific to PA but could be the same for pre MDs volunteer work is something that applicants and committee members are really looking for for PA specifically so being able to demonstrate how you've shown, you know leadership and maybe a volunteer position. I think it's also important on a personal statement. And how is it to convey empathy and cultural competency so stepping away from your clinical experience I imagine that it's also important to be able to get to the heart and soul of whoever is reading your personal statements so how important is it from what you've done and sort of all the personal statements you've read through how important is it on the scale of most important not as important as it to include those components in a personal statement.  And so definitely think it's important for me to acknowledge that and obviously I'm going to have different backgrounds than maybe some others on this call tonight. But I think showing empathy is absolutely paramount. It's something that all committee members and admissions committee are looking for we want somebody who's able to meet the patient where they are in their journey and be able to connect with people of all different backgrounds. And speaking from the PA kind of realm specifically working for underserved areas is definitely something that committee members are seeking just because the PA specialty is we are trained as primary care providers first and foremost. Obviously working in underserved areas is important because there is such a need. I myself was always interested in working with people in underserved communities. My significant other is Venezuelan and I do speak Spanish. And so being able to, you know, provide healthcare and those type of environments was always something I wanted to do. And so tried to convey that in my personal statement not only because it truly was authentic to myself, but it was always also a preferred kind of aspect of my particular program that I was applying for. You know, being able to not just check that box and saying like, oh yeah I want to work with underserved communities or oh yes being empathetic is important and kind of sounding like robotic almost in a sense, but again, weaving how empathy is important into maybe patient interactions or what you had spoken previously in your personal statement, alluding to that as something you were focused on, whether it was again working in research or working as a CNA or whatever clinical role that you had. Yeah, just to echo that absolutely I agree with Caroline which you said, and I guess another thing I can say is that you don't. You can show your cultural competence and don't have to use like a clinical experience to back it up so what I mean by this is that if you feel like you have grown as a person and have learned how to be more culturally competent because of personal life experience, whether that's like where you went to school where you worked, you know just interactions you've had. That is the purpose of a personal statement is to show personal growth right and so don't look for always like you know like I say the art of a personal statement and this kind of answers the question of somebody in the chat who said do we have to read less experiences in our CV. The art of it is to combine those experiences with your personal life and kind of tell a story of how both of those impacted your growth. Thank you. Thank you so much. And I imagine there are a lot of tips resources out there that students can take advantage of when crafting their personal statements. What resources have you found to be most helpful in your journey when you were crafting yours. We can start with you doc okay. I was seeing a Caroline what's going to talk. But you're responding to a question in the chat go ahead. Okay I'll just go ahead. I think. So it's been like what like eight years since my personal statement from from out school and I'll speak to like even my presidency one personally like I think I'm a writer like at heart so I think for me I just I took someone's piece which I saw. I like to school like you know, and I took the advice of brainstorm writing which is essentially just like writing up my thoughts and revising them so I would just say like if you don't know where to start with resources, literally just a quick Google search on the personal statement that you're writing will pop up a lot of you know samples and like advice tips and there's like tons of websites I don't want to just list one or two because there's tons. So I think at the time I definitely did like to Google search to see where to start but I think what helped me the most essentially was like I mentioned earlier like just taking some time to like write all your thoughts out and then starting them out at the end. That was kind of my big print and then thinking more recently to presidency when I was applying for the match. During that time, I think like we're talking about soon is like kind of taking advice from other people with matching the specialty I wanted. That's kind of what I did and if you actually like I said, just quick Google search of like X specialty personal statement you'll see like samples online so that's pretty helpful as a starting point again it's really tricky though because you don't want it to sound like somebody else's but you also want to see how somebody else was able to convey a message. Thank you. Yeah I definitely agree with all those ideas and statements. I think also. I love the idea of like Dr clone said you know writing down all of your ideas and kind of patchworking them together later. Just think back to like English class 101 your intro your body and your outro and kind of understanding the framework and the bones of a good statement and a good essay if you will, but then knowing to how you can weave in your ideas in a way that flows well and I think you can only do that by just brain dumping everything on a big piece of paper and just having like a, just a free flow brainstorming and being okay with the fact that your, your personal statement is going to have so many iterations I think I literally had like maybe 20 versions of my statement before I finally got to something that I liked so I took at least two or three months to write mine, not to put any pressure and anybody in the chat you know if you've got a due date coming up but knowing that it's a process and you have to let things marinate and sit on it. Another tip that I have to is have as many people read the statement as possible, knowing ahead of time that at the end of the day, the buck stops with you it's your statement you get to decide to decide what edits and critiques you want. But I think having people from all different backgrounds both medical and non read personal statements, you get such good feedback because everybody has unique life experiences, and they may you know shed light on something you had no idea really stood out or really sounded and you might be able to get something different from that. And then I agree, you know, always having role models and looking for people who have done what you want to do right so I had several PAs share their personal statements with me, and I kind of looked at what worked and what didn't and then kind of partly that parlayed that into my own work. Yeah, that's that's good and it's a good segue to my question as well and I see one in the chat that talks about what specific characteristics do panelists or panels look for and thank you for your response to that Dr. K. I'm just curious if you had anything to share in that regard, and you talk about intro body outro and that sounds very simplified and some students might still be wondering well what do I put in my intro what do I put in the body. If you have like examples that you can share with us to see what a personal statement could look like. We're open to that. Yeah, I'm happy to share an excerpt of mine. I think for me personally I had to, like I mentioned earlier, explain and kind of convey where I was currently what role I was in characteristics and strengths of mine that I built and that I showed that role then but then, you know, I had to explain in the body of my personal statement my drive for wanting to change careers and areas of work within the clinical field. And so I sort of did that and several body paragraphs and then I ended it by kind of summarizing what I had said earlier. So explaining that I would make a good candidate for the program based on what they were looking for and previously I had demonstrated ways in which I showed that. Should I go ahead and read now or do we want to. Okay. So in the beginning I won't read that because it is so unique to me but I tried to kind of create like a striking scenario something that I actually did do. I'll just go ahead and read the beginning to. So my, my previous career as part of my job as a dietitian I worked in cystic fibrosis. So we were constantly conveying bad news to parents. We were the first kind of team that the parents met with after their baby had flagged positive on the newborn screen for having cystic fibrosis so my intro statement goes like this. My hand was shaking as I pushed open the clinic door, I hesitated a moment taking a deep breath because I knew once inside would be communicating the words that would forever change young families life, your child has cystic fibrosis. So here comes an indelible moment when you and your team are the messengers of a frightening new reality, one where an imagined future of expected milestones is instantly changed. At that moment clinical practice collides with humanity and how that moment is approached, both professionally and emotionally is critical. My collective life and career experiences have prepared me for such moments, becoming a physician assistant will allow me to address such situations and the best way possible. So that was my intro, my first body paragraph. As the registered dietitian RD I did that to save word count because word counts on these statements are really tight. As the RD for the Mayo cystic fibrosis center I educate patients as part of a multidisciplinary team, cultivating positive relationships with both the individual individual patient and the parent is crucial if I'm to be successful with each case, and such success centers on navigating family dynamics and understanding cultural differences. With that awareness in mind I'm able to communicate vital information in such a way that everyone understands. So showing my communication as a strength that was kind of one of my pillars of strengths. I'm able to communicate vital information okay and sorry I said that already, sometimes family conflicts or individual personalities dominate an appointment. So this must be constantly flexible, ready to redirect attention conversation and attitudes. My role as RD in this specialty is unique because I have the responsibility of managing patients pink reddit enzyme replacement therapy, and physicians consult me to make initial dose recommendations. Without proper adjust adjustment of this medication patients with CF would be unable to gain appropriate weight to maintain lung function. So just to kind of explain what I was doing there, I had to show in a very tight condensed paragraph, some of my skills so communication, being flexible in the moment, working and trying to meet patients where they were when we were dealing with really chaotic kind of stressful scenarios, and then also showing the fact that I was doing more than just the typical dietician telling you to eat your fruits and veggies right, I was working with physicians I was getting consulted. So, trying to kind of convey that in one in one paragraph was a little bit easier said than done but again I'm not saying mine's perfect. There are certain certain things that you know some people would say oh cringy but for me it worked and I got in and now I'm practicing so that's that. So thank you for sharing Carolina I'm sure that's helpful for folks on the call Dr can anything to add to that in terms of really how to condense all of your experience into intro body outro. I like pull up my old I just somehow found my old personal statement and now you're like that's a cry so I'm not going to reread it because it's a lot of personal stuff. But one thing I'll say is like just reading it like I see that I had the spirit of a hustler and I kind of put it into like, I'll kind of talk about how I put that into a statement because what I mean by that and the reason I kind of encouraged that is because I think I really I was like hard working and resilient throughout my statement and I think to summarize the answer your question I think the most important thing is to have a theme. So like even if your intro body and outro have different ideas, the theme should be the same so for example the intro should introduce who you are to the reader but also leave them wondering and wind to them know more about you, and then the body is kind of where I would go into any specific clinical experience, any personal experiences and then you know specifics into why you are a hardworking person why you are resilient why you are a leader why you'd make great PA a great doctor right and then your outro should be essentially the summary and like a selling paragraph you know like hey now you know, I am all these things and this is why what sets me apart from another candidate right so I think, again, another reading and I know Janie we talked about this and I was like can't find my statement I just found it. And I'm actually kind of glad that it's on on screen or I probably cried but I reading it I see that I was like pretty open about my struggles and I think if anything that probably helped me because I like somebody asked in the questions they do ask you about your statements in your interviews. So if you put something in there that you're okay discussing during the interview. It's a great place to be vulnerable I mean I'm honestly no one's going to read this besides you and the admissions committee and if you don't in school they'll never see you again if you get into the school. It's just going to help you and let them know who you are right so don't be afraid to be vulnerable, but I hope that answer the question. Thank you so much to your both for sharing. I do have a question in the Q amp a is there anything specific that could boost my chances of getting accepted into BS MD programs. I don't know if that's what I don't know if the question is within the context of you know a personal statement or just general. Yeah, I don't know it's this person in high school and trying to get into the SMD or they and I'm assuming they're in high school. Can they tell the chat. Yeah, can you tell. Usually it's it's high schoolers are like in high school. Yeah, yeah. So, um, so I know a little bit about the BS MD there's like a few in the country. I'm typically it's just the matter of like being competitive I mean things you can do to show that is to college level classes in high school and do well to AP classes but like, you can do like, I would say like in that case the volunteer work obviously helps but from my understanding, most of those programs are very much like numbers based because they want to see that you can handle the court like the rigor of the BS MD, because they tend to condense program they usually condense them at school, and your bachelor's until like six or seven years. So, unfortunately, a lot of those programs do have a higher emphasis on like GPA, and then like your SAT ACT scores so again, if you ask me specifics we can get into that but like generally that's the theme. Thank you. I was going to ask when I write about the gender gap or minorities in medicine should I avoid mentioning numbers and statistics. You know, I think that it's interesting because I actually wrote a whole statistic in my statement I wrote like how 3% of medical students come from families in the bottom 20% of annual income so because I was really really passionate about increasing representation of like low income specifically. So I wrote that and people love that so I would say don't be afraid to write that as long as you can back that up in an interview when they've asked you like where'd you get the statistic from so just make sure your sources are accurate, and that you're writing like widely known stats on there and not just something that you read on like blog posts or something. Thank you. I'm looking across the chat and Q amp a I don't see any additional questions. So in the meantime, I don't know folks are still typing in what other tips resources how can students get in contact with you both if they have questions about you know, crafting a personal statement, they need additional support just to get in touch with you. Absolutely. I'll sorry Caroline I'm just like talking, but I'm going to just let you talk. So I am definitely. I'm Danny knows and Caroline is I do content creation. And so my page is just like I'll put it in the chat stocked a wide deal so I put post lots of tips on personal statements on my page and all you also like help students one on one and all the information's like on my page but if you want to message me please email me or send me a DM I'm happy to help. And then I do typically share like what students I've worked with like excerpts with their permission from time to time on my page so you know those are also pretty helpful. And also just I think other ways, other tips that I would have for you guys is something that I kept saying but I stand by it and that is just to be yourself and really honor embrace your story like I think we just sleep on ourselves sometimes we have imposter syndrome we think that we're not special like this doesn't matter but like it really does and you know you can take any story and make it profound if you have the confidence to do so. And so I would just say believe in the power, like the power of your story and just like know that it's, it's important you know and maybe not to in your world but like you saying that story out loud and somebody else reading it may find a lot of inspiration and so just don't sleep on yourself like you know don't doubt yourself don't think that your story doesn't matter or that hey this is important or like I'm not going to make it because be going with that mindset. You won't have the creativity to write I really do believe that being in creative space requires some kind of privilege and some kind of like confidence and that just takes some like belief in your future and determination so I'm starting with that would be really helpful to get to a good place. Thank you. I love all those comments I think they're so so true is you know having that that self confidence to just go for it and you know just throw caution to the wind and I think I know from a personal way that I get caught up in my own imposter syndrome when I think about those lines of oh you know this sounds so so overdone or this somebody's already said this before but you know just having that self confidence and just ignoring all the noise around you isn't really important. So we obviously have a much different career background and path and Dr fun so you know can speak to to PAs or anybody else that maybe is not in the MD track, but I'm also a creator on social media my pages the clinic dietician on Instagram so happy to reach out and further discuss you know some of your questions and things. I have worked maybe not to the same extent that Dr clown has with personal statement writing but definitely have sat on committees for you know incoming students and generally know I think what what people are looking for. Obviously this is just one piece of the giant application puzzle right we look at everything we look at GPA which I can address that question here in a minute. We look at your resume your experiences but the personal statement is your time to really shine and just have fun with it because this is the one. The only part of your application that's really going to highlight your personality so like it's been mentioned before being authentic being creative if you do feel like you are a creative person or you have a vulnerable story to share or something like that this is your moment to do that so and understanding like this is just a jumping block from for further discussion and conversation in your interview, which is the ultimate goal right. I think when it does come to GPA. If you do have say a lower one or something. This is a great way to show that resiliency that we said is important in medicine. Maybe you retook a class or you know you worked on something to further improve your GPA after maybe you have a legitimate reason why your GPA was lower than it needed to be maybe you were caring for a family member who was ill maybe you were caring for personal health issues there's so much more to that story and I really hate it when programs just hang up an applicant's total package based on GPA. I think programs are getting more and more away from that just like they're getting away from some of the standardized test scores and things which I think is really important. I don't know people who say don't test well or maybe don't have that ability maybe you have ADHD and so sometimes, you know, maintaining that 4.0 is just not not conceivable so it's something if it's, I don't know what the threshold would be for, you know, the time to mention GPA, but if you yourself feel like it's a red flag then yeah definitely address the elephant in the room I think being transparent is is really important. And I see we have one more question that just came in what is the right time to start writing your personal statements is it as you are obtaining experience. Do you advise waiting a little bit closer to when you're ready to apply for medical school or PA school, what is the right time. You know, that's a great question. You can always be like oh there's a right time it's like a different time for everybody but just to be more specific I definitely think that six months before you are about to apply is definitely when you should start like brainstorming and writing because I actually believe that like, sometimes you'll write you like what the heck was I thinking when I wrote that right and so you're going to have like multiple what the heck moments and I think to have a really good final statement. Three to six months before like you actually apply is a great time to start writing and that way you have like a brainstorming phase you have a content fixing phase and then you'll have a grant because you know I do think there's like layers to how you edit and I think the first layer will be like fixing the content up making sure it flows well and then you'll do the grammar grammar and making sure you know you get it checked for grammar and everything like that so three six months I think it's like a good starting point. Thank you. Thank you so much. I would agree with that I would say just the sooner the better. You know, I, like I mentioned I had like 20 versions of my personal statement so I think you're not going to be able to show that creativity and authentic self if you feel the pressure of a deadline. So we're most creative when we're kind of in an idle space and we're able to just have the no pressure. I don't care what you say if you're like, if you have that ability to do good work under a deadline just please don't take that mentality and your personal statement give yourself ample time to do this. Thank you so much. I don't see any other questions in the chat or q amp a. So I just want to say thank you to you both for sharing your experience and your insight I hope that our audience have found it very helpful and enlightening. I know one takeaway for me from today's discussion is a personal statement or at least a compelling one is not just about listing your accomplishments it's really talking about how unique you are and your contribution to the medical field. And for those who are joining us for the first time and you're looking for clinical experience that could potentially go on your personal statement. Advanced clinical training is the place to be we offer online certification programs for students who are looking for that direct patient care, and are really looking to excel in the healthcare industry. We hope that you would consider us in your health care journey and I do want to say thank you to Caroline and Dr Colan for joining us today. We hope to see you all in future webinars. And if there are no additional questions in the chat, we can go ahead and end here and then hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much. Thanks everyone. This has been great. Yeah, thank you so much. Jamie and everyone else who helped with this. Of course. Bye. Bye.


This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices, KAP, of urban slum dwellers in Bangladesh regarding the prevention of COVID-19.

Hey, this is Brett, and this 2021 Genesis GV80 Prestige All-Wheel Drive is stock number 23J41A. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used SUV headquarters. This 2021 GV80 has the 3.5-liter V6 turbocharged engine. It puts out 375 horsepower, 391 foot-pounds of torque. This vehicle has been fully saved and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, start it up and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation possible. Uyuni White is the color. I shoot all my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, or smartphone, turn them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. Going down the driver's side here, doors all look really good. Didn't see any major dents on there. Front fender is in nice shape. If you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications. You'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as having one of the largest vehicle walk-around catalogs on YouTube, so definitely check that out. This one comes with some really nice wheels on here. These are 22-inch painted alloys, and it comes with Michelin Primacy Tour tires. These are 26540 R22s, and I would say they have close to 60, 65% of the tread left on those tires. Once again, front fender is in great shape. You get the LED headlamps, LED running lights, front bumper parking sensors, front bumpers in great shape. Didn't see any major dents or dings on there, and the hood is in really nice condition as well. Didn't see any dents on there. Got to like that Genesis logo on there. Coming around on the passenger side, front fender is in nice shape. Didn't see any major dents on there, and the passenger side front wheel, excellent condition as well. Uni White has just a little bit of flake in it. I don't know if I can even...there we go. It's got a little bit of pinks and blues in there. Really a cool color. And as you go down this side of this 2021 Genesis GV80, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos. So if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle here, the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. And you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you back wheels in excellent shape as well. And the back tires have just about as much tread as the front tires. Coming around to the back of the vehicle, you get the LED tail lamps back here, backup parking sensors, the chrome-trimmed dual rear exhaust, no major dents or dings on that rear bumper. Looks really good. And I wonder how you get that open. I wonder if it's a foot activated or if you got to pop it from inside. This is the first I've never experienced that during a video. We'll figure that out. Coming around to the back wheel, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. And once again, down the rest of the side doors look really good. You get the blind spot monitoring and the heated mirrors. Inside, the prestige package gives you the quilted leather bucket seats in the front. No rips or tears on the seats, they're really nice shape. You get massaging seats as well, factory formats, lane departure, stability control, that's your start-stop capabilities. You get power telescopic and tilt steering wheel, power windows locks and mirrors. You also get the power folding mirrors. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. We'll take a look at the second row seats. Back here you get the second row bench. These seats are in fantastic condition as well. Factory formats back here. These back seats are heated on the outboard side. You get rear air controls. You also get two USBs and then a 115 volt plug-in. These seats are power tilt, which is pretty sweet. Then they move up and down too, so that's pretty crazy. Full power back seats, that's pretty cool. Anyways, you also get, looks like sunshades there. Not sure how those go up. You get the child safety locks on the back doors and the inside of the doors all look really good. Hop inside, check out the instrument cluster, the miles and the radio and everything that this one has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 28,000, 13 miles. Get the nice digital instrument cluster there, digital speedometer, tachometer. Get the leather-wrapped steering wheel. That is in really nice shape. You get your adaptive cruise controls and I'm guessing steering wheel, steering feel controls. Bluetooth and audio controls on the left. There you go. Now you got everything. You got outside temp display, miles per gallon, all that good stuff. You get the big screen up there. This one does have AMFM and Sirius XM radio capabilities down here.  Also a wireless cell phone charge pad USB in there as well. Keyless entry, remote start on there. There is your surround view camera and you have your backup camera as well. So that works nicely. You also have downhill assist control, four-wheel drive lock. There's your shifter for your transmission and your controls for your radio right there. Passenger side format and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there. You get the second row fixed glass, power sunroof in front, the suede headliner and up here you get map lights, sunroof controls and home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems in the mirror there. It's an auto dimming mirror. We'll take a look at the back here and then we'll start it up. Back storage area is very nice and clean and those seats do fold down. You get to press those to get them to go. Those work nicely. Carpeting is very nice and clean back here and you do get some storage area, my guess is tire inflator kit back here and very nice and clean. Get this gate down, press that button and we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. I just figured out where the button is right there to open that rear gate. Let's start up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. Turn all the lights on so you can check all those out. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options and cleanliness of this Genesis inside and out. Under the hood we have the 3.5 liter twin turbocharged V6 engine. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this vehicle has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and it is 100% ready to go. There's the emissions sticker and I would highly recommend this vehicle from a quality and condition standpoint and to see more pictures of this vehicle or one of our other 550 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, wranglers, you name it we got to go to that website right there, summitauto.com.

Whose permission are you waiting for? Without which you tell yourself, I can't do my thing today. I can't be me today. I can't get this thing done today. Who are you waiting for to validate you, to permit you, to empower you? Who are you waiting on to apologize to you, to say sorry to you? Because it's never gonna happen with some people. And the permissions you're waiting for, you already have inside. The validation you're waiting for, you don't need validate yourself. Begin somewhere. Take today off hold. Stop parking or waiting for whatever you are. Stop blaming anyone or anything for the lack of progress in your life today and just get moving. You are who you have been waiting for. You are. No cavalry, no plan B, tag you or it, go for it. Have a fantastic day. Love you guys.
