I have a strong interest in Radiation Oncology; I have completed a three-week elective at _________ in Radiation Oncology, working with Dr. ________ . During this period, I had the opportunity to work with seven members of the Radiation Oncology staff, gaining a broad exposure to the treatment of common tumor sites. In addition, I gained further exposure during my clerkship. As part of my Internal Medicine rotation, I completed a one-month course on the Hematology Service.
My future career goals include a clinical practice with a significant research component.
I have considerable interests and hobbies outside of medicine. These include various outdoor activities, including hiking and snowshoeing. I am the proud owner of a demanding 4-year-old Siberian Husky. I enjoy playing ice hockey with friends and colleagues regularly. I have also continued to play in a senior (under 35) recreational hockey league for the past four years. In the past, I have played ice hockey at the level of AAA little person and Junior B. I enjoy mountain biking as well as staying fit with weight lighting. I have a passion for reading and book collecting.
My friends and colleagues would describe me as having a quiet, calm personality, with a relaxed style.
As my experience demonstrates, I am a hard-working, intelligent, and an energetic individual, with the ability to take the initiative with new projects, to work constructively with others, and to handle multiple demanding tasks. I would make a positive contribution to the residency program while working to maintain its high level of achievement.
