QUESTION 24 OF 40

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

The Brody School of Medicine prides itself on its cultural diversity, on its graduates moving on to serve in rural or underserved communities, along with several other altruistic pursuits. Thoroughly research their efforts and consider how your past and present community involvement aligns with their values. That is the heart of this question, that they want their student body to embrace similar values and priorities as their own.

"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 after medical school. One specific way I will help my community members is by holding free workshops every month. The workshops will tackle tough issues that the community is facing as a whole such as narcotics abuse and increased teen suicide rates."
