Getting into business school
... Working in a clinic in the underserved parts of this city, I see the struggle these people face just trying to get immunizations for their child or getting a prescription for an earache that has persisted for weeks. I watch as these people ignore simple complaints such as a toothache that has eventually turned into an abscess because they are not eligible for dental care. ... Despite these struggles, I still believe that health policy can be improved, and by taking a year off from medical school to study health policy will allow me to be a part of the change. ... programs that would benefit what I want to pursue, after much consideration, I felt that it would be in my best interest to apply internationally to a health policy program, specifically, at the London School of Economics pursuing an MSc in International Health Policy or an MSc in Health Policy, Planning and Financing.
