"I have chosen to become a physician because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my community. Being a General Practitioner is a career where I can impact others by getting to know my patients more closely than many other specialists and providers can. As a GP, I will improve the profession by bringing a whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take their entire health into their hands, it will create a trickle-down effect on other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for general health care, improving how the public views our profession and how often a patient visits their GP for regular checkups."

To provide a memorable response, be as specific as possible. Perhaps you desire to work with a particular population or community. Maybe your vow as a physician is to teach your patients that being diligent about a specific aspect of their health positively impacts their overall health. Discuss with passion and enthusiasm how you plan to improve the medical profession and use your skills for the greater good throughout your career.
