Philosophy of Care Preventative care is the most important medicine. Leading a healthy lifestyle and getting your age appropriate screening exams/tests completed can prevent some disease from occurring or catch them in an early stage. Why I Entered Medicine I loved my science classes in high school and I had the opportunity to spend time in the hospital through the Explorer Program and volunteer work. I really enjoyed helping people, even if it was in the most minor way. Through these experiences, I was able to observe the relationship doctors had with their patients. I knew at that time I wanted to become a doctor.
