ePortfolioRaviv Dlin

My name is Raviv Dlin and I am a freshman at Ithaca College.  My major is health science with a pre-med emphasis.  I was born in Jerusalem, Israel then moved to Vancouver, Canada, but I spent most of my life in Plano, Texas.  I have worked as a nursing assistant in Texas at some of the best Hospitals in the state.  I have spent time volunteering at free clinics, veterinary offices, and a day care center, while working to become a certified nursing assistant.

I plan on working as an emergency medical technician during my summers at Ithaca. My long term goals, after graduating Ithaca College, are to go to medical school and then do a surgical residence afterwards.  I believe I have the drive and dedication required to get through medical school and complete a residency program.

I am looking forward to traveling down the difficult path that leads to becoming a doctor.  I want to do what I can to help fight against heart disease, because I lost my father to a heart attack in 2010.  I plan on becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon and working in an emergency room.
