Coming to the decision of entering the field of laboratory medicine was not an easy or clear cut call for me. The preliminary reason why I chose this field of the many career options lurking before me, was the fact that I needed to learn while helping people around me.

I feel that these reasons in part also contribute to the fact that I am well suited for this line of work. I feel I will be ready to take on any challenge and come out with a more enriched person. Also, my educational background and exposure, as well as basic interests, lie in this field which makes me a suitable candidate for such a career choice.
