1. What students in my program learn to do.
The most common courses for students in my major require basic knowledge of sciences like chemistry, biology, anatomy, and physiology. We learn all about the body and how it works, as well as its relation to its surroundings from a scientific point of view.
2. What people who get degrees in my field usually move on to do.
The most common path for students declared as Physiology (Pre-Physiology) majors is to move on to medical school to become a doctor of any specialization.
3. Three of the most exciting people currently involved in my field.
Eric Topol is a cardiologist who started a new medical school and let to key heart discoveries in recent years. Atul Gawande is very famous for his research and surgery but is also a renown writer in the field. I thought this characteristic of him would be very relevant to this project. KevinMD is actually famous for his massive fanbase of twitter followers and constant newsfeed he puts out, both for the general public and for other doctors.
4. Three leading scholarly journals in my field.
There are so many different types of medical journals for each specialty, so I will include the generalizations of medical journals, as a whole. All three are published online and in print and subscribers are from all around the world. The largest contributors of subscribers are doctors who get the subscriptions inherently through their work.
