As a future physician, how do you plan to use your role to benefit your community? Do you think volunteering is important?

"Bettering my community is going to be a big part of what I do as a physician. I already spend a great deal of my time volunteering at the local children's hospital, and I plan to continue my volunteer work during and after medical school. I loved your community outreach projects where you provide education to communities on eating healthy and drug abuse awareness. I'd love to be a part of these efforts at Albany Medical College."

As a physician, your knowledge and help will be greatly needed and appreciated by your community. Show that you are willing to be generous with your time and knowledge. As you research Albany Medical College before your interview, you'll quickly see that Albany's community efforts range from education on opioid abuse to leading winter clothing drives for local children. As you answer, it's a great idea to highlight some neat things you see about their efforts and discuss why they are important to be a part of as a medical student.
