The following is one in a series spotlighting several of the medical students who will be matching.<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Name:<\/b> Charles Burkett\n<li><b>Hometown:<\/b> Bellevue<\/ul>\n<p><b>What key events in your life influenced your path to medical school?<\/b><br \/>\nGrowing up, I never had aspirations to be a medical doctor.  Neither my mother nor grandmother graduated high school, so I lacked direction for my future. The day after I graduated (also the day I turned 18), I moved to Greenville, Texas, to work for a defense contractor. My first year of adulthood was spent deconstructing airplanes and putting them back together. Fatigued with the woes of self-support, I enlisted in the Air Force so they could take care of me. Expecting to work on the flight line, I was quite surprised to be working in a hospital as an X-ray technician. As an X-ray technician and eventually an ultrasonographer, I worked with many great radiologists, and they demonstrated for me that being a physician was rewarding and something that is attainable. <\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-right\">\n<h3>Match Day live link<\/h3>\n<p>To access the live link for Friday&#8217;s Match Day, click  <a href=\"http:\/\/hog.unmc.edu\/clients\/channel1\/channel1.html\">here<\/a>.

Primarily, it has given me a unique perspective concerning patient treatment that my fellow classmates may not appreciate. I have experienced what technicians go through in order to carry out the orders of the physicians. In my subsequent practice, I will be more cognizant of the procedures I order and ensure it is an essential part of the patient&#8217;s care.<\/p>\n<p><b>When you went on interviews for your residency, what is the most interesting thing you were asked or asked to do?<\/b><br \/>\nDuring a certain residency interview, I was grouped together with three other interviewees and instructed to rank ethical situations by most unethical to least unethical. This situation was nerve-wracking, but the atmosphere was intensified all the more by the presence of a clinical behaviorist who I felt was examining our every move.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force service led former X-ray technician into medical
