"At this point in my studies, I am most interested in Pediatrics as I have always been passionate about helping children. I bring the compassion that is required for that area of medicine. Also, most of my volunteer experience has been around children's issues. The area of medicine that I find to be my least favorite so far is Pathology. I have not excelled in bio-science; however, I have hired a tutor to ensure my grades remain above average regardless of my natural interest."

Focus on spending more time describing the area of medicine you like the most and less time on your least favorite area. When describing what part you like the least, tell the interviewers how you are trying to improve and learn to enjoy your least favorite part.
