Personal statement for Surgical Pathology FellowshipSijiu shen, M .D., Ph.D My broad educational and research background in medicine, biochemistry, molecular biology, and rigorous residency training in pathology have prepared me for my decision to focus on surgical pathology, the biggest career decision in my professional life so far. Eight years of intense basic training in medicine at Tongji Medical University---one of the most prestigious in China---has laid a strong foundation for me to pursue an exciting career in medicine. Working on my Ph.D in biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University ofTexas Houston Health Science Center not only deepened my understanding of medicine and enabled me to master new research technologies and methodologies, but also exposed me to new challenges and possibilities in the field of medicine. However, my experience as a resident in pathology at Penn State University’s Hershey Medical Center has been the most rewarding and satisfying so far. The most exciting part of my experience is being able to diagnose diseases and help cure seriously ill patient. In addition, this is a field where I can combine my passion in teaching, research, and clinical work in one exciting career. My career goal is to become an outstanding professor, researcher and clinical practitioner in pathology. With this goal in mind, I have worked diligently not only to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills in both anatomic and clinical pathology, but also develop management, teaching, and leadership skills. At the same, I have been actively involved in clinical research projects. While I am interested in many areas of pathology病理学, practice of surgical pathology is particularly appealing to me. I feel that although morphological diagnosis is still the basis for and the most important aspect of diagnosis surgical pathology, ancillary techniques(including immunohistochemistry,免疫组织化学 flow cytometry ,cytogenetics细胞遗传学 and molecular biology) are starting to play an increasingly important role in disease diagnosis. I am looking for a surgical pathology fellowship program, which will provide me the opportunities not only to expand and refine my morphological diagnostic skills, but also to pursue new research and clinical possibilities in ancillary studies in surgical pathology. It would be a plus if the program could also give me a strong cytopathology 细胞病理学exposure. The extent and depth of my medical education and research experience have been invaluable for my current residency training and will prove to be invaluable in my training as a surgical pathologist. My ultimate goal in pursuing a career in human pathology is to make an impact in human disease diagnosis and treatment. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to further discuss my credential and application to your program in person.六、常用过渡词和句型 过渡词在文章中发挥着连接上下文的作用，学会恰当地运用过渡词会使文章连贯、流畅。本节提供的过渡词都是最基本的，考生在时间紧、工作繁忙的情况下，可根据自己的.喜好，掌握各类中的二至三个用法即可。1.常用于文章开始的过渡词语和句子(1)To begin with首先例：To begin with, smoking should be banned in public areas.“首先，公共场所禁止吸烟。”(2)Generally speaking一般地说，总体上说例：Generally speaking, it is the best policy to spend more money on libraries.“总的说来，加大图书馆的投资是良策。”(3)First of all第一，首先例：First of all, many people in remote areas still live in poverty.“第一，居住在边远地区的许多人仍生活在贫困之中。”(4) With the rapid (widespread/growing/blooming/…) development (progress/growth/popularity/concern improvement/localization/internationalization/…) of science and technology(market economy /living standards/welfare society/joint ventures/…),…economy/society)…随着(经济、社会)的(发展、进步、增长)…例：With the development of society, women’s role has become more important than ever before in daily life.“随着社会的发展，妇女在社会生活中比以往发挥着更加重要的作用。”(5)Recently近来例：Recently，the problem(conflict, production)of grain shortage has become the world focus.“近来粮食短缺问题已成为全球关注的焦点。”(6)Nowadays (In recent years/Currently/At present…) more and more(an increasing number of…)people are beginning to realize(be aware of/be alert/notice…)the importance(significance/greatness/seriousness/graveness…) of sandstorm (credit cards/adult education/developing the west/corruption of civil servants…..)(7) When it comes to (When asked about?
