Why do you want to attend Meharry College of Medicine?

Why do you want to attend Meharry College of Medicine?

Living in Nashville for almost 18 years, Meharry medical college has served a significant role in my pursuit to become a physician. Growing as a first-generation Nigerian-American Immigrant. We could not afford health care services. I did not have access to adequate healthcare services. Having a medical teaching center, like Meharry medical college that was affordable for my parents, and for those who were uninsured like myself. Growing up with limited healthcare service has instilled in me the social enterprise to provide health care service to those in need.

Growing up in Nashville, I have gained a lot of inspiration and intellectual stimulation to pursue medicine by interacting and crossing paths with a lot of Meharry school of Medicine. When I was in high school, I was selected to be a HCOP intern, a program to encourage youths and high school students to pursue a career in medicine and in healthcare. At my internship, I was able to observe medical and dental students during their rotation. I was exposed and acclimated to the average life of a medical student is an and the amount of dedication that is expected in medical students. Currently, I have doctors and dentist who are medical school of medicine graduates. They have exemplified and embodied the core values of Meharry medical college.

Moreover, another reason why I would like to attend Meharry School of Medicine is core values that it has embodied since an act of Kindness began by Samuel Meharry to honor the black family that housed him during a raining muddy day in Kentucky. Since that day, Meharry has vowed to contribute to the medical education of underrepresented minority groups.  This same

Byzantine Art and Architecture

Byzantine Art and Architecture

The Byzantines considered themselves the inheritors of the Roman Empire, yet historians often see them as different enough to consider separately. In what ways was their culture similar to the earlier Roman Empire and in what ways were they different in terms of religion, politics and geography? What does their art tell us about these similarities and differences? How different do you think they were from the earlier Roman Empire?

To address these issues, choose a Byzantine work of art or architecture (ca. 500-1453) either from the module or outside sources and compare it to an earlier Roman example (ca. 30 BCE – 410 CE). How do they compare in terms of style, function and message? What do these similarities and differences tell us about their respective cultures? How much of the function is related to religion? To politics?

Suggestions for comparison:

Justinian, Bishop and Attendants vs. Augustus of the Prima Porta

Theodora and Attendants vs. Procession of the Imperial Family

Justinian as World Conqueror vs. Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius

Hagia Sophia vs. the Pantheon

PICK ONE FROM SUGGESTIONS

Describing Communication Patterns & Est

2A. List your interpersonal communication goal from CCC Part 1E. Keep a DATED conversation log, spreadsheet, journal, or diary of SPECIFIC instances when you exhibited this behavior. Think about who, what, where, when, why, and how questions. Record who you spoke to, what you talked about, where you spoke, when you spoke – the time of the day, why you had this conversation – the circumstances, and how you spoke. Think about your feelings and your nonverbal communication. Did you listen well? Were you delighted, hurried, rude, polite, angry, frustrated, and so forth. Record other important or interesting conversations as well, even if they do not relate to your goal. You need at least five entries this week, but you may have many more.

Be sure to include an entry each day from the time you begin monitoring your communication behavior (conversations with others) until the time you conclude 2A. If you do not face your challenge on a particular day, say so. If you face other challenges, perhaps related challenges, on any of these days, include that as well. If you cannot document a conversation about your challenge that day, record another interesting or important conversation. You should have at least one daily entry for your conversation log, and you may have multiple conversations on the same day.

2B. Review your log and look for patterns. The following questions can help you to identify patterns of behavior. At what time and under what circumstances did I perform this behavior most effectively?

In what places?
With whom?
Under what conditions?
2C. Review your log and look for patterns. The following questions can help you to identify patterns of behavior.

At what time and under what circumstances did I perform this behavior leasteffectively?
In what places?
With whom?
Under what conditions?
2D. Review your log and look for patterns. What other recurring communication behaviors did I exhibit when I did or did not perform this behavior?

2E. Review your log and look for patterns. What seems to be your most pressing behavioral pattern? Is your greatest communication problem the same one you listed in your goal for CCC Part 1 E at the top of your page? Do you need to modify your goal for this project? If so, state your new goal by revisiting Part 1E in Week 1, Course Project.

3A. Find positive models. Choose a person or several people who perform your interpersonal communication skill well. Observe and record specific aspects of their verbal and nonverbal behavior as it relates to your chosen issue. What do they say? How do they say it? What behaviors would be useful to incorporate into your own repertoire?

3B. Find negative models. Identify people who perform the skill ineffectively. Watching these can be very useful, too. What makes them ineffective? What behavior do these people exhibit that you would like to avoid?
