I feel that regenerative bioscience is important because it represents the future of medicine. The ability to use the body’s natural healing processes to apply therapies for treating conditions that are currently incurable is the next step in medicine. The potential of regenerative bioscience could allow science to solve issues that could have never been solved in the past. My coursework and research has shown how real the potential of this field is.
On a personal level, regenerative bioscience appeals to my goal to make a meaningful impact on the world. I am driven by the possibility of contributing to innovations that could improve animals’ and human quality of life. This field is not just important; it is essential for the future of medicine.
This year, I have been to Peru and Switzerland. My goal for these trips was to improve my understanding of veterinary medicine on a global scale. In Peru, I participated in a veterinary internship, where our team provided veterinary care to communities that otherwise lack access to veterinary services. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability and the need for culturally sensitive approaches to veterinary care. Additionally, my time with a small animal veterinarian in Switzerland exposed me to different practices and diverse treatment methods.
These experiences have strengthened my commitment to understanding how medicine varies across the world. By broadening my perspective, I am better equipped to contribute to a field that increasingly requires adaptability.
