Dears,,
Kindly look at my SOP for PhD admission to graduates school of Radiation Health Physics. waiting for any suggestion correction or advice .. check it below
During high school, I was observing my uncle when he was studying for the residency program in Radiology. That was the first time when I first knew about radiology and radiation physics. I was eager to learn more about this branch of science which deals with invisible radiation to visualize human organs. As a result, when I finished the high school I applied at the School of Allied Health sciences at King Saud University and subspecialized in Radiological Science. During my study I found my self fascinated by all modalities of radiology, especially Computed Tomography Scan ( CAT Scan) because it allows me to merge my passionate love for computer technology with my passion for medical imaging physics. Therefore, during my internship year at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center and after one month rotation in every medical imaging modality (X-Ray, Fluoroscopy, Angiography, M.R.I, CT Scan, US and NM), I've chosen CT Scan as the area of my interest and I spent the rest of my internship practicing in CT Scan Division.
After graduation with a BS in Science (Radiological Science), I joined King Fahad Medical City as a 1st employer and I've been assigned permanently in CT Scan division. During my working as a trainee for one year I was fascinated by cardiac CT and as soon as i becomes full CT Tech I applied for a scholarship to conduct my Masters Degree in Medical Imaging (Cardiac Imaging). i granted the scholarship and get accepted for Masters at Curtin University of Technology in Australia, and my thesis discussed "The current role, level of education and training CT Technologists who perform advanced Cardiac CT procedures in Saudi Arabia". While lived in Australia during my Masters . This heavily international identity has helped me to become a better public servant who is very appreciative and respectful of diversity, cultural differences, and multilingual communication, which serves me well as a student. I feel like I have fully 'found myself' through the courses of my Masters Degree at Curtin University of Technology, where I have had the invaluable opportunity to come to better appreciate the almost infinite aspects involved in becoming a state-of-the-art Cardiac CT Technologist.
When I returned back after conducting my Masters I've been assigned as CT Scan Division Head. I've also presented my Master's research in both local and international confrences. during my work as supervisor i was analyzing the Dose Length Product from every CT Scan procedure because I was concerned about the radiation dose delivered to the patient, and I begin reading and attending conferences about Radiation Physics and Radiation Protection. After extensive reading and analysis to the previous literature about Radiation Physics, it becomes the ideal fit for me because it is the area that I have great interest to understand, learn and research at advance level.
Moreover, With all the rapid advancements in every modality using radiation today, I believe that I could successfully contribute to the science of Radiation Physics by investigating the most recent possible methodologies and techniques that can be used to minimize the amount of radiation that patients are exposed to. Similarly, I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to develop several techniques that can be used to perform optimum quality examinations with the lowest possible amount of radiation, and therefore provide patients with the safest diagnostic services. In addition, I look forward to balance between my professional career as a CT Scan Technologist on one hand, and as academic researcher on the other hand where I can make profound changes for patient and staff on a daily basis. In particular, to embrace new technologies that enables us to make diagnostic services with ever greater safety and quality.
Finally, as inspired by the wisdom saying "Faith moves mountains, but only knowledge moves them to the right place" ,I am looking forward to continue my education at a PhD level because that will allow me to fully develop my skills and facilitate my becoming part of a top notch team of researchers all learning from each other.
I will appreciate your consideration of my application as a PhD Candidate in Radiation Health Physics at your school and I am eager to meet with you and discuss my candidacy.

During high school, I was observing my uncle when he was studying for the residency program in Radiology. That was the first time when I first knew about radiology and radiation physics. I was eager to learn more about this branch of science which deals with invisible radiation to visualize human organs. ------------ this gives you a good entrance to your essay if it is said with a bit more punch. Just have a look at my suggestion;
I sill remember how eagerly I observed my uncle who was studying for the residency program in Radiology while I was in high school. That was the time I first became aware about radiology and radiation physics, which deals with invisible radiation to visualize human organs. Soon I became more and more curious about this branch of science and got passionately attracted to it.
