Dr why wanted

Doctors find their calling in many different ways. Michigan Medicine physicians reflect on the paths that led to their profession.

For the men and women who dedicate themselves to the pursuits of wellness, research and compassion for others, medicine is a calling. Whether a practitioner works in a hospital, a clinic, a laboratory or in the classroom, the challenges and rewards of this lifelong journey are plentiful.

Recently, Michigan Medicine asked some of its practitioners from varying disciplines to share their personal experiences and influences that led them into the profession. Marsh is chief of the division of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. My mom was an office manager, and my father was an attorney. As early as elementary school, I developed a love for math and science.

I somehow knew very early on that medicine was the career for me. I wanted to help people. Bradford is the executive vice dean for academic affairs at Michigan Medicine and the Charles J.

Krause, M. As a surgeon, I can have an immediate positive impact on the care of patients with cancer. Working towards improved cancer treatments with my husband, professor Lonnie Shea, provides ongoing hope and optimism that the diseases we are studying may one day be cured.

Jeruss is an associate professor of surgery and director of the Breast Care Center. Despite the stress, long hours away from home and family, I could never imagine a different career. Osborne is an assistant professor of surgery and an associate program director of vascular surgery.

Hurvitz is a professor and chair of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Fifteen years later, it continues to be a great joy and a privilege to help the tiniest of patients. The patient does not speak English and, unfortunately, my ability to speak the patient's native language is nonexistent.

But I, and other doctors here at U-M, understood the patient's medical problems. Through an interpreter and with love and help from the patient's family, we were able to guide the patient through much needed medical procedures. Today, the patient is well. After indicating how happy I am for the patient, we had a hug that transmitted the essence of the doctor-patient relationship. No words are needed to explain why I wanted to become a doctor.

Arvan is a professor and division chief of the Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Diabetes. As a doctor and researcher, I have the honor of partnering with communities to find ways to solve the everyday problems that make leading a healthy life so hard.

The incredibly strong and resilient young adults I work with every day are why I became a doctor. Chang is an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine and a practicing physician at the Corner Health Center.

This sense of calling was reinforced early in my medical training when I first had the opportunity to care for and emotionally connect with patients. I think of my mentors over those years who not only taught me the art and skills of medicine, but more importantly how to be a doctor. Caring for ill and injured servicemen and servicewomen was among the most humbling yet rewarding experiences in my life.

Here at Michigan Medicine, as a subspecialty physician and a medical director, I have been able to expand my opportunities to connect with patients and families during their most vulnerable times. Their joy, passion and desire to serve others inspires me. This was further solidified when I understood that medical translational research has direct impact on we the patients.

This concept of working on a medical problem whose solution would lead to better health for individuals is extremely satisfying. Pandey is an associate professor of neurosurgery and radiology.

He also serves as co-director of the Comprehensive Stroke Program. Being a neurologist at Michigan NeuroSport is helping me accomplish that goal. These factors motivated me to pursue hypertension research. As far back as I can remember, I knew I was going to be a doctor.

My parents were the first medical professionals in their families — mom a midwife and dad a surgeon. They immigrated to the U. We moved a lot during those years. On Sunday mornings, dad would take me on rounds at the hospital.

Throughout that time, they scrimped and saved to get by supporting three kids, prioritizing our education above themselves. They impressed upon me the virtues of hard work and commitment over personal gain and the privilege it was to help others. Kazerooni is a professor of radiology, and associate chair for clinical affairs.

She is also director of cardiothoracic radiology and chair of the Radiology Service Excellence Program. Going to medical school felt natural to me. My family members and mentors in medical school and my love for children sparked my interest in pediatrics and pediatric neurology. The bond between children with neurological disorders, their families and the doctor makes it a very fulfilling field. My youngest brother was born with a serious birth defect called occipital encephalocele. I vividly recall peppering my mother with questions about what it was and what it meant.

She would speak with warmth and gratitude about how his pediatric specialists advocated for him. He and my family have adjusted time and time again as his special needs have evolved, and the ongoing effect of his condition on his life has informed my appreciation for how physicians can impact their patients and families.
