From the Paper
"As a Mexican immigrant, who moved to the United States four years ago from a farming community, I have seen my share of poverty and illness. I knew from a young age that becoming an American citizen would open up many doors of opportunity for me, and I also knew that I would fully engage my developing passions for medicine and human service as soon as I got the chance. Witnessing the ailments of some of Mexico's poorest citizens, I came to realize that selfless service is what a physician provides on a daily basis, and I knew that I was destined to provide this service."

Abstract
This paper presents a personal statement and admission essay to the Medical School of the University of Toronto. It describes the writer's choice to pursue a career in medicine and how it was shaped by a combination of family history, his lifelong fascination with human biology, and his knowledge of how profoundly emotionally rewarding it can be for medical practitioners to make a positive difference in the lives of their patients. The paper discusses each of these aspects in detail.
From the Paper
"Finally, it must be said that my decision to apply to study medicine at the University of Toronto has been influenced by the renown and reputation of its faculty, and its success in producing medical practitioners of the highest calibre. My determination to meet the high standards of your institution led me to retake my MCAT so that I was satisfied with every aspect of my performance, and feel that it accurately reflects my knowledge and skill set. I also believe that my lifelong interest in human biology and physiology, and the knowledge gained as a consequence of these years of interest and study, also render me a strong candidate for medical studies at your institution. To all of these factors must also be added the invaluable life experience and insights into the challenges and emotional rewards of medical practice that I have acquired through learning from my grandfather's and my father's examples. Their dedication and commitment to their patients and their work have inspired me to continue their legacy of care through pursuing my own career in medicine."

From the Paper
"Graduating middle school students are faced with some important decisions as they progress through their early academic careers and enter high school, and the decisions they make during this period in their lives may well affect their academic performance and professional careers later in life (Barrow, 2001). High school admissions counselors are in an excellent position to help these young learners make the right choice early on, but because resources are by definition scarce, many public high school admissions counselors are faced with some profound challenges in trying to deliver timely and effective guidance to these students because of the dynamic nature of the workforce and the changing definitions of what constitutes a quality education in the 21st century."

Schools, Admission and Race, 2008.
A discussion of the "Parents Involved In Community Schools V. Seattle School District" 2007 Supreme Court ruling.
1,119 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the "Parents Involved In Community Schools V. Seattle School District" lawsuit when parents of students who were denied admission to schools of their choice due to their race sued the District, arguing that their policy of racial tiebreaker violated the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection. The paper discusses the majority decision and maintains that it is an accurate reflection of the recent swing in the US Supreme Court towards conservatism. The paper does point out, however, that Justice Kennedy's separate opinion keeps the door partially open for public schools to consider race for ensuring equal educational opportunity in certain circumstances.
Outline:
Background
Facts of the Case
Questions Before the Supreme Court
Decision
The Conservative and Liberal Aspects of the Decision
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Seattle School District had adopted a system of 'tiebreakers' to decide admissions in schools that were oversubscribed. An important tiebreaker was a racial factor intended to maintain racial diversity. The system sometimes prevented students from gaining admission to schools of their first choice due to their race, if the racial demographics of a school deviated substantially from the overall white to non-white ratio of Seattle's total student population."

From the Paper
"Drinking the milk that I had personally obtained through demanding efforts, including awakening in the pitch-dark hours of the pre-dawn morning only to be splattered with cows' urine while milking and shoveling cows' excrement, was the most memorable experience I had at the Putney School in Vermont. Although this unglamorous incident may not be something that students from the third leading country, in terms of foreign students' nations of origin, would want to endure, it has taught me valuable lessons that I could not have learned at a large, more impersonal prep school. My experiences taught me firsthand the dramatic importance of personal effort in the route to success, and how to complement my academic schedule with my extracurricular activities and social services."

Admission Essay: Scientific Medical Translation.
This paper is an admission essay to an advanced program for scientific and medical translation.
1,185 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 0 sources, £ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the author?s university degree thesis focused on technical and scientific matters and utilized a wide vocabulary from the medical and biological disciplines, which enabled the applicant to gain a strong grounding and preparation for technical vocabulary and an understanding medical and scientific matters. The author points out that her work for a company translating agricultural, scientific, and medical texts highlighted the delicate balance between subjectivity and objectivity in the art of translating another?s words and thoughts into another language and cultural system of ideas. The paper stresses that medical and scientific words often have a different meaning in the technical lexicon of the profession or a discipline than they do in more colloquial usage; therefore, the most gratifying aspect of her work was having a part in making the often difficult and frightening world of medicine and the sciences comprehensible.
From the Paper
"I obtained my university degree this summer, in July of 2004. I received a degree in translation and interpreting, the ?Mediazione Linguistica? (Final Mark 105/110) from la Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici Gregorio VII, Rome. Previously, in July 2000 I received my Diploma di Liceo Linguistico (95/100), Liceo Linguistico N.S. della Mercede in Rome as well. Thus, my education has revolved around this diverse and exciting European city, filled with the languages of many foreign-speaking individuals, tourists and professionals."

"Besides donating as much as possible to the scholarship funds that supported them, recipients also have a responsibility to serve that fund by volunteering for special events, interviewing future applicants, or participating in any external organizations that the fund supports. Another way recipients can show their gratitude is by performing service for the law school itself. Volunteering when possible, becoming active members of clubs, groups, and committees, and helping fellow students are some of the ways scholarship recipients can actively display their appreciation."

I was interested in business, in why certain ideas succeeded and others failed, and in how seemingly ordinary people accomplished extraordinary things. I wanted to be among the extraordinary. Consequently, I traveled to Europe, to explore the region where many of the world's great minds failed until they succeeded. I saw with my own eyes the effort necessary for success, and learned that the path is riddled with life lessons."

Healthcare Industry and Medical Malpractice in the U.S., 2006.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The massive United States healthcare system plays an important place in society. Enormous amounts of money spent on health care, fail to a large degree in terms of healthiness or life expectancy. Medical malpractice aggravates this situation due to inflating costs. This paper analyzes how the legal system in the United States is putting pressure on the healthcare system, looks at ways that healthcare delivery has gotten more expensive and potentially more harmful or wary of risk. Tort reform is examined with the potential to help reduce medical costs, but does not seem to be a sufficient long-term goal. Finally, the paper explores the idea of medical courts or tribunals, specialized medical decision makers that could help to increase fair and reasonable judgments for medical malpractice claims.
Paper Outline:
The United States' Legal System is Killing Healthcare
The Impact of the Legal System on Healthcare in the United States
Tort Reform
Medical Courts and Medical Administrative Tribunals
Benefits of Medical Courts and/or Tribunals
From the Paper
"The United States legal system, at both the state and federal level, has never had the direct impact on an industry as it has on the U.S. health care industry. Currently, outside of very lax civil procedure rules, anyone can bring a medical malpractice claim and receive compensation without any factual findings made by a judge or jury. In other words, claimants may receive compensation from defendants without proving their allegations. Parties in medical liability lawsuits can hire so-called experts who routinely testify for the plaintiffs or defendants and skew their testimony towards the side who paid them to testify."

Abstract
This paper indicates that the patient's past medical history includes poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and hypertension and significant obesity; however, at the home visit, he was in no apparent distress. The author points out that the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) is a method of providing a thorough family assessment in a healthcare setting, utilizing three major categories: 1) The structural dimension of family life, 2) the developmental dimension of the family life and 3) the functional dimension of the family life. The paper concludes that, on the surface, it would seem that all the pathology in this family lies solely in the range of the patient's medical problems; however, the Calgary Assessment Model indicates that many of the issues surrounding his poor diabetic control, weight gain and high blood pressure were related to family dynamics and lack of education surrounding disease state and disease management.

His presence in the house is a source of significant stress and the cause of many arguments between Mr. and Mrs. Schelley. This write-up was done from information obtained over the course of two home visits.."

Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the problems that American students have in being accepted into medical schools. It examines the high entrance requirements and minimum acceptance levels and explains why this has lead to the phenomenon of alternative medical schools opening up abroad for American students. It reviews some of these offshore medical school programs and the options of specialization through these courses.
From the Paper
"Medical school admission is a highly competitive process that only evaluates and admits the most qualified candidates for entrance, and more students apply than spaces available in schools across the United States. The criteria that U.S. medical schools exercise in making their admission decisions are highly rigorous, including grade point average, future potential in the medical profession, communication skills, bedside manner, leadership skills, and extracurricular activities. As a result, many worthy students are not accepted to the schools of their choice and their dreams are often shattered by this reality. Specifically, in the United States, earning a medical degree is a status symbol that garners much respect and attention from the general public, and the profession is highly regarded as a symbol of position and admiration. Therefore, the competition is fierce and medical training is a very difficult and often exhausting process with significant financial and personal rewards for those who complete and excel in training programs. However, many students that cannot gain acceptance to American medical school programs are not necessarily removed from contention and the opportunity to earn a medical degree. Other options are available in nontraditional settings outside of the United States."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) was designed to help those individuals who need to care for either a close family member with a serious medical disorder or to assist employees when a serious medical condition arrives without notice. The paper first describes some of the provisions of the FMLA, including entitlements to leave, the maintenance of health benefits during leave, job restoration after leave, and protections for employees who request or take FMLA leave. The paperalso relates the process by which an employee can use FMLA leave. The paper concludes that the success of this legislation has led many states to pass similar acts.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Leave Entitlement
Maintenance of Health Benefits
Job and Benefits Protection/Restoration
Notice and Certification
Illegal Acts
FMLA Case Examples
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As is the case with many federally-backed laws, the FMLA includes a number of items that are required by both parties. First, an employer is not allowed to "interfere with, or deny the existence of any right provided" by the FMLA. In addition, an employer is not allowed to "discharge or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice or because of involvement in any proceeding related to FMLA," meaning that employers must adhere to all anti-discrimination laws within the United States."
