My name is Jiten Patel, and I am a honors student at Ohio State University. Currently, I am pursuing my ambitions in studying neuroscience as my undergraduate major with intentions of continuing my education in medical school. I have a passion for and at dedicated to helping and teaching other people.
My passion for wanting to teach others stems most meaningfully from my experience as an assistant swim coach and as a swim team captain. During this time, I enjoyed being able to help other swimmers improve during every point of training and then to see their improvement appear in competition felt rewarding to both the swimmer and me. The experience gave me the desire to assist others in reaching their potential and help them persevere through the struggles along the way.
The combination of my interest in medical science and wanting to see others improve led me to pursing a career as a physician. The occupation of a physician would allow me to assist people when they are facing some of their most pressing problems while practicing medicine’s intricate combination of physical, biological, and social sciences which greatly appeals to me in order to help provide the best care to patients.
