At Mercy College, we want students who have a true passion for medicine. What appeals to you most about working in the medical field?

"Many factors drive my passion for a career in medicine. If I had to pinpoint one main driver, I would say that improving the health and well-being of others every day is the most significant for me. Everyone deserves great health care, and I plan to live that mantra by being the best at what I do, and giving my all to my patients, every day."

It is okay to share a personal story when answering this question. Perhaps you can discuss what initiated your interest in becoming a physician assistant, to begin with. Whatever drives you, make sure the interviewers can feel your passion!
