As a future physician, how do you plan to use your role to benefit members of 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 volunteer at the local children's hospital and plan to continue my volunteer work after medical school. I love that Georgetown University is dedicated to social justice and serving your communities. Before my interview, I was looking at some of the groups that your medical student provide service to, and I would be so excited to work with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington and a place like Jill's House for children with intellectual disabilities."

As a medical student and physician, your knowledge and help will be greatly needed and appreciated by your community. In answering this question, you want to show that you are willing to be generous with your time and knowledge. A physician can benefit their community through community education, free services to low-income families, community workshops on common health issues, and volunteering within your community.
