Personal statement and HIPPA

Hey guys!

So in my personal statement, one of the large activities I've done that has funneled my path to healthcare and med school is my experience with personal training.

There is a specific client I was discussing in my PS and I go into her specific condition of bursitis and other conditions and what we did to overcome her specific struggles post-rehab.

I specifically discuss:

musculoskeletal issues
gender (by pronoun her)
and I guess the location I work is disclosed (so hence her general location)


I wouldn't think that's enough identifying information, but just incase I'm asking y'all.

Unless it’s a crazy rare disease, you should be fine.

As a rule, when I discuss anecdotes I change the age/gender/ethnicity unless it is relevant to the DX. Just a thing I do. If you can reword it to be even more general without losing the meaning, that helps too.

Also, it’s HIPAA, not HIPPA
