You may see this as more of a personal interest question with no wrong answer. But it's important to know that your interviewers want to hear that you have at least a sliver of passion for the history of medicine and an understanding of its importance in innovation in the future.

"This would easily be Elizabeth Blackwell for me. As the first female medical doctor in the United States, she faced discrimination and ostracizing for many years, and she fought through it to graduate at the top of her class and went on to do great things. Just ten minutes to pick her brain on how she successfully fought through this would be inspiring. Knowing a bit about Drexel University's history and coming into existence with the consolidation of the first American medical school for women is awe-inspiring to me."

Before your interview with Drexel University, think back to any important figure in the field of medicine that you are familiar with that has a story that resonates with you. Talk about what they overcame and what they discovered/created/invented that you admire so much. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Speak passionately so the interviewers can sense your interest.
