Programs through the HRSA make funds available to medical students who agree to practice in medically underserved areas for some time following their medical training. Your interviewers at Albany Medical College know that you or someone you are attending their school with will take this opportunity, and they want to ensure that there are no hard feelings for those who do.

"I believe that, because there is such a huge shortage of physicians in rural areas, students receiving federal assistance should do their part by practicing in these areas for a certain amount of time. I understand this may seem unfair; however, there could be exceptions for rarer specialties or medical students with exceptional grades."

When a medical student receives federal assistance through loans or grants, some may see it as an unfair advantage for them to have the first pick of where they practice after completing medical school. On the other hand, some people don't care, so long as the best talent is put to good use. You can share your thoughts on this with the interviewers but remain positive and show your ability to see both sides of the coin.
