At Georgetown University, we believe in the continual development of our students, both professionally and personally. What is your self-development plan?
A self-development plan is essential for any medical student. The interviewers at Georgetown University understand this and want to know your plan and how attending Georgetown University will benefit that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you have a plan to invest in yourself.
"Knowing that I one day want to practice in a large medical center in an urban community, I am taking the time personally to learn and master new languages. I have a great grasp on Spanish and am continuing to hone my skills in that language knowing that language barriers can often hinder care for some individuals."
"Self-development requires a commitment to growth inside and outside the classroom. While committing myself to medical school, I look forward to attending conferences such as AMSA. I also plan to become actively involved in evidence-based medical research."
Before your medical school interview at Georgetown University, put some serious thought into where you are currently seeking to develop your hard or soft skills to improve as a future physician. Whether you listen to medically related podcasts or read books to learn and grow or expand your experiences to improve your soft skills related to success as a physician, show your interviewing team that you invest in your development.
