Immerse Education Essay Competition 2021: What makes a good Doctor?

Four highly motivated Grade 10 students spent a portion of their Christmas holiday writing submissions for the Immerse Education Essay Competition in the hope of winning a 100% scholarship to attend a summer course at Cambridge University in the UK.  The competition is a challenging one: entrants must pick one question from a list of eighteen controversial topics and have only 500 words to defend their answer.  Essays must be fully referenced with footnotes and bibliography.  While we all have our fingers crossed for their success, we are quite simply hugely proud of them for taking the initiative to enter this competition – well done!

Below are two entrants’ essays on this topic ordered alphabetically by name of author:

What makes a good doctor.

Being a medical professional is considered one of the noble and ancient vocations in society. However, considering the plurality of people who become doctors, there must be a plethora of ways to go about being a doctor. This raises the question – what makes a good doctor?

It appears to be universally agreed upon and that medical professionals must put the patients well-being before all else in a quest to minimise suffering. The Hippocratic oath is, despite its age, considered an ethical benchmark even today. It seems so ingrained in all our understanding that it is barely questioned by patients and doctors alike. So when people, be it doctors or patients, talk about ‘good doctors’, what do they actually expect to see from them? More often than not, one will hear the words ‘competence’ and ‘empathy’ being muttered. Although this may seem a bit simplistic, come to think of it, those concepts may well be more intertwined than meets the eye. A competent doctor arrives at a correct and timely diagnosis, initiates an adequate and effective treatment. Key to what patients and their relatives consider great consultations is that their respective concerns, ideas and expectations are addressed, respected and incorporated into the decision making. Empathy forms the missing link. It can allow for a more profound rapport to be established between doctors and patients, helping to obtain a more detailed medical history and aid diagnostics. Obedience to a certain treatment can be improved by tailoring it to a patient’s needs, which, in turn, will improve outcomes. Maintaining a patient centered approach will help decide upon an adequate treatment in the first place. It is safe to say that throughout all stages of the patient’s journey, the idea of empathy has the potential to make the difference between a doctor and a good doctor. Having said all this, it seems by no means easy to display empathy at all times. Increasing specialisation and ever more detailed knowledge and understanding of subspecialities causes ever steeper knowledge gradients to make communication between doctors and patients difficult. This in turn prevents medical professionals from being able to fully dedicate themselves to patients. The increasing availability of in part questionable information and data can both empower patients or destroy the doctor-patient relationship. Similarly, the uncontested status of doctors as ‘demigods in a white coat’ appears to slowly decrease, rendering them to be seen as service providers rather than allies at times. These are changes that affect multiple aspects of society. Therefore, I would conclude that a doctor, as a person and profession, is a reflection of society as a whole. Hence, apart from detailed knowledge and profound understanding of their scientific field, traits that make a good doctor are the same that make a good person and empathy is found at the very core of it. A good doctor is someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty to put the well-being of his or her peers above their own. Someone who, regardless of their own cultural background, political ideology and ethnic heritage, goes out of their way to understand their patients. Finally, someone who, when needed, even forgoes the very science they dedicate their lives to, in order to make a patient feel well. After all, doctors treat patients, not conditions.

A doctor is defined as a person who has been trained in medical science, whose job is to treat people who are ill or injured. According to this definition, what makes you a doctor is clear: the licences and certificates. However, the question of what makes a good doctor is much broader, and for this reason this essay will focus on the comparison between empathy, objectivity and technical competence in relation to the patients recovery and well-being. Firstly, objectivity helps doctors, to a certain extent, to be professionally distant from their patients and apply skills and knowledge rather than emotions to make judgements about treatment for an effective recovery. For example, a heart surgeon uses high amounts of skill during a surgery. When getting emotionally engaged with a patient, the physician can make a biased decision that might not be helpful towards recovery. Emotional detachment is helpful for the doctor too, as the involvement can be difficult to handle mentally. Nevertheless, professionals have stated that complete objectivity is not even possible to achieve and that physicians will always make decisions slightly based upon emotions, experiences and their view of right and wrong. However, people have argued that empathy should be desired rather than objectivity anyways. This consists of listening to a patient but also communicating in a way that can be understood. Medicine should be about treating a person rather than simply curing an illness, and should be taken with a more holistic approach, as our emotional side is what makes us differ from a computer. Whilst a machine might have the technical competence to recognize symptoms and cure the illness, we as humans should ensure that we cure the patient. Many patients want an understanding physician, as this gives them a sense of security. Studies have shown that when this is achieved, the recovery process has a higher chance of being effective. This is partially because up to 30% of all illnesses are somatization, where the mind is involved in the physical condition and only when we relieve the mind we can treat the illness. Moreover, when we look at the patients as people we can prevent further illnesses in the long term by treating more than just the symptoms. A doctor can be differentiated from a good doctor by the balanced coexistence of objectivity and empathy. Whilst the objective side of a person is needed in making effective decisions, the empathic side is what distinguishes between treating a condition and curing a person. However, this must be carefully balanced, for too much objectivity leads to being very distant and too much empathy leads to faulty decision making, both ultimately being harmful to a patient. How this is balanced, however, ranges based on which field you are in, as a cardiologist performs a different job than a family doctor. With this in mind, we should evaluate the contents of studying medicine and consider teaching the students how to reach their own balance, by letting them deal with patients at an early stage, as there is no blueprint to becoming a good doctor. Each individual must find a balance of their own, to make a positive impact on the field and to become the best doctor they can possibly be.

Immerse Education Essay Winner

February 1, 2022.

Praanjal Singh Sinver, a student of Grade 9, brought laurels to our school by winning a 20% scholarship for summer programs at Oxford, Cambridge and LSE through the Immerse Education Essay Competition.

The Immerse Education Essay Competition provides students aged between 13 and 18 with the opportunity to submit essays related to their chosen subject. Praanjal presented her essay on ‘Female Future Leaders’ where she expressed her thoughts on the challenges faced by today’s women in leadership roles.

Praanjal’s essay stood out amongst the other entries by bringing forward well formulated and clearly expressed thoughts on her chosen subject. We are proud of your achievement, Praanjal. Best of luck for all future endeavours!

SUBJECT: Female Future Leaders

TOPIC: What are the challenges faced by  today’s women in leadership roles?

For centuries, the woman has been relegated to posts such as being a ‘housewife’, a ‘caretaker’ of the  family and she has never been treated as somebody in the field of action in the real world, where she  does the same laborious jobs as males and gets the due credit. But, over the years evolution happened,  societies became broad-minded and today women are gaining prominence in the world of leadership,  such as entrepreneurship, political leadership, sports team leader etc.

When we move forward with the times, gender discrimination has not left the society, which prevails  to be one of the most pressing challenges faced by women today in leadership roles, women have been  in leadership positions for a long time but they are yet to get their due credit, male employees believe  that women lack the “authority” or the “assertiveness” to take on an extremely important responsibility;  certain studies show that the people from all countries are still not quite comfortable with women  leading and they choose to spread hate and defame them, with the simple reason being that sexism and  male chauvinism brought this out of them. These reasons are at the basis of the issues that have arisen  for female leaders, and while many are aware that they are biased, they refuse to acknowledge  it. Another problem that arises for women leaders is the management of many roles. Women are more  likely than men to leave their jobs to raise families; It shouldn’t be a choice between a child and a career; it is difficult for a woman to reclaim power and influence as a leader once she has been out of the  workforce for a spell.

According to a recent study, even in countries with lengthy histories of female leadership much of the  public remains adamantly opposed to the idea of women in power. The Reykjavik Index 1 measures female leadership views of the G7 countries and others during 2020 to 2021, the survey had Its recent  poll consisting of over 20,000 adults and yielded some unexpected and disappointing results; the survey  revealed that only 38% of the people were open to the idea of having a woman as the head of a  government or the CEO of a company. Despite Angela Merkel’s long tenure as a chancellor, only 41%  of Germans indicated they felt comfortable having a woman at the helm of government. Maia Sandu  made history by becoming Moldova’s first female president, Kamala Harris became the first woman  Vice President of USA; though they reached their dream positions they were no exception and had gone  through the immense struggle.

Despite the reality that these circumstances will persist and torment, women must be applauded for their  indomitable spirit to prove themselves in different roles, our past culture has a significant impact on our  present societal values, there is a gradual change in men’s perception of women and I am sure gender  disparity will fade away soon and many more miracles can be experienced by women.

Immerse Education opens 2023 essay competition

One of the best ways to find out if a subject is a good match for a student is for them to have the experience of studying it at university level.

A short-term academic experience which takes place in the summer holidays gives students a taste for higher education and creates the motivation to pursue the specialism that interests them.

This week, Immerse Education has begun accepting entries for their bi-annual Essay Competition - with applications open for students across the globe from ages 13 to 18.

For those not familiar with Immerse Education’s programmes, these two-week courses give students the opportunity to live in world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, London or Sydney. Participants are taught their chosen subject by expert academics who teach and tutor current Oxbridge students.

Participants experience a fantastic array of social and cultural activities and excursions including formal dining in the great university halls, and a visit to London to explore the big city.Classes include practical, subject-specific workshops such as moot courts in law, exploring start-ups with business management, and an exploration of surgery through the ages for medicine students.

The essay competition enables students to explore their chosen subject through the creation of an academic essay that answers the essay question set by Immerse Education. Essays are a maximum of 500 words, with a 10% threshold so students should make sure their academic writing is concise, answering the question set in a creative, interesting and academically insightful manner.

There are a wide variety of subjects available for students to write about, and Immerse allows for students to interpret the question as they see fit - you can find out more about the subjects Immerse offers by heading to their website.

Although essay-writing is not every student's first choice when they have free time, essay-writing is the perfect way to showcase that students are passionate about their chosen subject, with many students using their essay as evidence to support their university applications.

Not only does essay-writing provide students with a taste of what university will be like, the competition prize is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Winners of the Immerse Education Essay Competition will be awarded a 100% fully-funded scholarship to attend one of the Immerse Education academic summer programmes, with runners-up being awarded up to a 70% scholarship.

The Immerse summer programmes run in July and August every summer for Oxford, Cambridge and London, and in January for Australia. Subjects include Engineering, Computer Science, Coding, Mathematics, Medicine as an Academic Insights programme as well as a Career Insights programme.

You can learn more about the Immerse Essay Competition by visiting the competition page.
