My career aspiration is to become an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, and my major of choice is biology. Science is my favorite subject, and I enjoy those classes the most. I am most excited about the research side as a biology major. The idea of broadening my knowledge about cellular functions and the different systems that allow our bodies to function is exciting. By knowing the cell structure and functions of the human body, I will be able to diagnose illnesses and understand the behaviors and health of my future patients. Health disparities have long existed in the medical profession with beliefs such as black women having a higher tolerance of pain. Black women have endured inferior and inadequate medical care for far too long. This treatment will continue to be unequal, insensitive, and sometimes detrimental until disparities in the medical field are abolished. Often, black women are dismissed when they express concerns that something may be wrong when in pain. This is a key factor that plays a role in some medical professionals' beliefs about black women's genetics. Many black women complain about how medical staff taunts or dismiss their symptoms and refuse to give them medical attention. Medical professionals choose to work in a field where they are expected to show compassion and care for their patients. There should be no gray areas for who should or shouldn't receive adequate services. They should check their bias and prejudices at the door before treating patients. As I learned more about health disparities within the medical field, my research led me to alarmingly high rates of black maternal deaths. The absence of proper prenatal care, education, and nutrition play a significant role. Access to adequate prenatal and perinatal care, education, and nutrition is necessary for successful health outcomes. Another solution is to provide incentives for medical professionals, midwives, and doulas to work in rural areas and underserved communities. These disparities can be prevented with improved medical policies and diversity training to ensure adequate treatment is provided regardless of race. Black maternal health is a critical public health issue that needs immediate attention. It is important for more people of color to enter the field of healthcare, but unfortunately, the numbers are low. The rising costs of attending college and professional programs prevent many disadvantaged backgrounds from pursuing medical degrees. I want to work as a medical physician and raise awareness so that all minorities can experience quality and equal maternity care to eliminate disparities in maternal deaths. I want to be a role model for people of color and highlight the importance of considering a career path in the medical field.
